This is presumptive to say the least.
Well, there has been talk of a severely watered down live action Speedy movie (voiced by George Lopez), where Speedy is reimagined as the crusader of all Mexico. Have you seen the Tom & Jerry cartoons from the last 10-15 years? The ones where the two are now nonviolent pals who solve mysteries? In other words, I can imagine quite a bit of badness being injected into the mix.

I've seen one tiny image, which is neither good nor bad. It was the line included in the story "Warner Bros. is scheduled to air new, child-friendly cartoons in the fall of 2010" that got my goat, as it clearly implies the earlier work was not child-friendly. I forget which comedian said it first, but there is something inherently wrong about a society that wants to eliminate fake violence while keeping the real stuff. If Elmer Fudd is doing anything other than holding a gun and trying to shoot Bugs or Daffy, or if the Coyote is doing anything other than getting severely injured while trying to murder the Roadrunner, then somebody screwed up somewhere. -- Kevin M.
