Messin' With the Real Thing
Approximately 25 years ago a manufacturer messed with a classic. Coca-Cola changed the formula. Market shares were lost, there was panic in the streets. Cats and dogs were sleeping with each other. Parents were sacrificing their children. You get the point.
The wizards at Warner Brothers somehow feel that they can succeed where Coke did not.
WB recently announced that Bugs Bunny will be reborn as Buzz Bunny. The classic character that has delighted millions for decades will be remade "making him fresh, cool and hip" according to a WB exec. The new Bugs will have laser eyes and will be a martial arts expert.
Maybe this is a ploy to give the old franchise new life when WB brings it back in response to popular demand. Maybe this is a plot by Yosemite Sam to undermine the wits and resources of the wily rabbit. Maybe Elmer Fudd has taken over the animators guild and is holding the real Bugs hostage.
Maybe I'm going to sell my TV and hide under my desk. Mommy, tell the bad rabbit to go away.
