Should the new Looney Tunes have Porky breaking out of the Looney Tunes Drum?

[Emmanuel Cruz]

In regard to Jack's question about the names of the new WB cartoons featuring the classic Looney Tune characters, should the new Looney Tunes cartoons have Porky Pig breaking out of the Looney Tunes drum and saying his trademark line "That's All Folks!"?

[PorkyandDaffy]

YES.

[Jack]

Naturally, and the Merrie melodies can have the "That's All Folks!" script (that's the beauty of having both series). I also think Looney Tunes with Bugs should use the "And That's the End!" Bugs in drum ending.

It scares me! IT SCARES ME! I don't like either drum ending. It frightens me...and I'm 18! No, sweet merciful Lord, NO!

Okay.:confused:

The Bugs in the Drum ending should be used for strictly Bugs cartoons.

According to the special "Bloopers and Other Embarrasing Moments" that it was on Cartoon Network last month, a new animation used for a drum ending which Porky incorrectly saying "That's alll folks!" without a studder, the crew was trying to do it again. Then it happens. A few takes and that was it. After that, Porky left after the crew finished, he said "Whatever!"

Oh joy. Another revived thread. That's all we need:rolleyes:

Damn. My thread from almost 2 years ago. :)

Nice to see it again, but it shouldn't of been brought back. You like it, start it over again.

Thanks.

Well, we can actually update it now with some new information. Since Warner Bros. has said that it does not want to pay ASCAP/BMI licensing fees for "The Merrie-Go-Round Broke Down," (which apparently they do not own the rights to) and will use "Merrily We Roll Along" (which apparently they still do) on all the new shorts, but call them "Looney Tunes," the answer to the question becomes easy -- wrong song, no drum ending. It just won't work if the two aren't paired together.

It happened in "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers", and I say "no".

What? How the hell did WB lose the rights to "The Merrie-Go Round Broke Down"? :confused:

Same scenario with the MGM ending and opening for me.

How did AOL/Tiime Warner lose the rights to "The merry go round broke down?". If they did, that means the original Mgrbd will be removed from the classics. *******ed corperate synergy. (IS Ascap/Bmi self-owned or owned by another conglomerate like Sony or Universal? I don't even know what the hell the acronvm stands for). This is even worse than when USA Network tied up all the rights to the Terrytoons in the 80's (Nowadays, i think USA is owned by Viacom)

So did the live-action movies.

Since "Merry-Go-Round" had the ending to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" including Porky's trademark line with a messing iris out instead of the drum, it was good. I never heard anything about it. "Merrily" is used for Merrie Melodies.

In addition to the Roger Rabbit usage of MGRBD, The theme was used in the SNES Looney Tunes games (usually the game over theme) and these came out as recently as 1995. Even if Warner lost the rights to the Merry go round broke down (whcih to me doesn't add up), Someone needs to tell pennypitching Ted Turner that the Looney Tunes cartoons and Merry Go Round Broke Down song have went hand-in-hand since 1937. Even after Carl Stalling left Warner Bros., Mgrbd was still used in the Seven Arts cartoons. Only America Online/ Time Warner can be so greedy that licensing fees (in this case, chump change) will stop them from using a song which has been the Looney Tunes theme for 66 ****ing years.
