Loonatics Unleashed (2005)

 

"In the year 2772, a meteor strikes the city-planet of Acmetropolis, knocking it off its axis. This cosmic event releases supernatural forces unleashing a new kind of hero...The Loonatics!"

- Zadavia's opening monologue from season 1.

 From Wiki- Loonatics Unleashed is an American superhero animated television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation that ran on Kids' WB for two seasons from 2005[1] to 2007. It also aired on Cartoon Network internationally (excluding Japan). The series was based/inspired on the Looney Tunes cartoon characters, with the series described by Warner Bros. as an action comedy. Loonatics Unleashed is meant to be a mixture of the Looney Tunes shorts' irreverent style of humor and a modern action animated series, with the characters designed in a more action cartoon-inspired style.

Me again:  I quite enjoyed this series- at least the first part of it I wanted about ten years ago.  I don't get all the hate for it, I must say.  Perhaps fans just wanted the characters to be Bugs, Daffy, etc. or maybe the Tiny Toons?  I prefer this original approach, but what do I know.  I will enjoy watching both seasons now, though.  There will be more later.
