To think like that is absurd. We don't know what this cartoon will be like (except from what I've seen of a Coyote preview, he won't be twiddling his thumb while standing around in the desert). This is presumptive to say the least. I was there when this exploded over at Cartoon Brew, the website where the critical comments were taken from. http://j.mp/cMAn6i http://j.mp/c562lD (Amid Amidi, author of the posts is a known crank in animation fandom, and like John K., has a bias toward the golden age and any modern work as suspect until proven otherwise). -- Wesley McGee http://www.ambivi.com http://sterlingnorth.vox.com -- TV or Not TV ....
