I'm interested in seeing everybody's opinion on WB's "latter day" toons - those having been produced since the late '80's. Up for your voting pleasure:

The Duxorcist
Night of the Living Duck
Box Office Bunny
Blooper Bunny
Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers
Chariots of Fur
Carrotblanca
Another Froggy Evening
From Hare to Eternity
Father of the Bird
Pulett Surprise

I'm going to put Duxorcist & Night of the Living Duck together, since we are limited to ten choices.

I choose From Hare to Eternity. You forgot "Superior Duck"

I would choose "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers." Despite its problems, it was enjoyable.

I chose the duo choice Duxorcist/Night Of The Living Duck. I thought that had "Super Snooper" written all over it, only in a more modern setting. The others really did not impress me that much.

"Night Of The Living Duck" is my favorite of this group. I also liked "Invasion Of The Bunny Snatchers," "Chariots Of Fur," "Carrotblanca," and what I've seen of "Blooper bunny."

I've yet to see "Another Froggy Evening" and "Father Of The Bird."

Another title left off was "Little Go Beep." I know you were limited to how many titles you could list, and besides it has yet to be released.

I went with "The Duxorcist." I guess that was sort of a "Ghostbusters" spoof. It was played on ABC a lot and I never got tired of seeing it.

The Duxoricist was a spoof of the movie, The Exorcist.

My vote goes to Blooper Bunny.

If I ever think about them, since I have the tapes these toons are on, I would sometimes playback either "Carrotblanca", "Superior Duck", or "Chariots Of Fur" while CN has one of those boring 'wabbit toons' airing at the same time. Okay, "Carrotblanca" has that boring wabbit, but I play it because it is more of an 'All-Star "Looney Tune"' a la "Scarlet Pumpernickel".
But in all honesty, I have no preference concerning the modern-era shorts. And I definitely do NOT care for "From Hare To Eternity", so that toon is off the list. The others, no main preference.

However, I have thought of something that's sort of a variation. As you may recall, there are plans for WB to produce some brand new "Looney Tunes", and I've thought of a couple characters that should get a chance to star on their own, especially since they are a couple recent additions to the WB family.
How about some shorts featuring Lola Bunny (of "Space Jam" and "Tweety's High-Flying Adventure"), and maybe some with Sawyer (from "Cats Don't Dance")? Those girls deserve to make it big time in "Looney Tunes" shorts, so how about releasing new shorts for those two? I'm sure WB will have new-found success with these two latest performers. :D :D :D :D :bosko: :bosko:

My vote went to Chariots of Fur! I don't think it deviated too much from the norm of a Chuck Jones Roadrunner cartoon! :)

I went with "Blooper Bunny" if only for Daffy's line "Why you smug son of a...!" before being cut off... :p

I'm with Bart. Daffy's remark reminds me of that Porky gag reel from the forties...:D

I admit that I did not like "Blooper Bunny." It seemed unfunny and the storyline was not good.

Anything but that! It's probably going to happen, though.
