Looney Tunes Still Popular as Ever

The ever popular Looney Tunes cartoons have been a firm favorite with kids of all ages from 6 to 60 and beyond for decades now. It seems their timeless appeal never seems to fade as newer generations of kids watch them and just adore them.

That means gold for the makers and you probably will not be too surprised to hear that there is a huge marketing industry backing up the popular TV shows for kids. A new generation of Looney Tunes cartoon characters has taken the place of the older favorites characterized by Mel Blanc back in the 1940s, but all the new characters are children versions or their older counterparts.

The same crazy interactions happen between characters, keeping the shows fresh and ever popular.

Merchandise

That marketing industry is also huge and popular with all manner of Looney Tunes toys, games, clothing and other merchandise stocked in stores everywhere, both in the malls and high streets as well as online. If you were to look around just online and see what is available, you would be quite taken aback at the sheer variety and scope of all the different merchandise that is available for anyone who has their credit card at the ready.

If you like plush toys for kids, collector's sets for adults, illustrated tee shirts, decorated lampshades, bed spreads, pillow covers, wallpaper, wall posters, action figures, character figure play sets and just about anything else you can image, you will find merchandise carrying the images and likenesses of all your favorite Looney Tunes characters. It is not as if there is any shortage of things that these images can be associated with either.

Much Loved Characters

If it can have an image printed on it, then there will be Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck or any of the other well known and much loved characters grinning at you from wherever.

If you like to watch the cartoons themselves, be they the modern TV shows or the classic cartoons from the early era of the 20th century, you can get them on DVD as well as watch some selected episodes that have been downloaded onto Youtube or other online video repository. For me, the sight of Yosemite Sam yelling "Whoa mule, whoa" and then bashing the mule over the head with a lump of wood when it wouldn't stop is still a classic... "when Ah says whoa, Ah means WHOA!"

Yep, there are classic lines, situations and snippets that are still as ridiculously funny now as they were back then!
