Episodes rule. Features, meh.
First of all, please don't skip this show because it's a "rip-off of clasic cartoons," made by "crackpot weirdos," or any other of the "creative" names some people think up for this show . It's worth the watch for those who've never seen it, and should only be disliked by people who honestly watched the show and didn't like it.
I am a big fan of this show. While Ace (descendant of Bugs) and Slam (descendant of the Tasmanian Devil) are not always my favorite of the bunch, Duck (descendant of Daffy) is always there to put in great laugh. Tech (decendant of Wile E.) and Rev (decendant of the roadrunner)'s relationship is not only hilarious both together and seperatley at times, but it proves that WB still has a taste for irony. Jessica DiCico does the voice of Lexi (descendant of Lola Bunny). All the characters can be humorous throughout the show, and some are well developed. I find the episodes to be very entertaining, and I plan to buy the season 2 DVDs when they come...
Fun-filled despite flaws
The previous reviewer has obviously not seen the show, or at least very little of it. The DVD is the first 13 episodes in what has started out as a controversial show. Naturally, some haters (some who may not even glanced at an episode) will appear to spew a rant.
The premise revolves around 6 descendants of the Looney Tunes: Ace Bunny, Danger Duck, Tech E. Coyote, Lexi Bunny, Rev Runner and Slam Tasmanian. Each were given superpowers due to a cosmic collision which unleashed some strange radiation (that's as good an explanation as anything else I've seen in comics). They now fight crime as a team against super powered villains while getting debriefed by their their holographic Synergy-esqe boss, Zadavia.
Given that this is the first season, many of earliest episodes are a bit weak as the show was just getting its legs. The robot alien vikings from another dimension? Probably the weirdest foes to date. Not to mention that Ace had the annoying habit of parroting...
One of WB's worst efforts.
Loony Tunes have ventured (at least) twice into the future. The first time was with the brilliantly funny "Duck Dodgers". The latter time was with this ... um ... effort. "Loonatics Unleashed" isn't without merit, and might be considered a good product were it not that it isn't up to Warner Brothers quality. WB cartoons are noted for their cheeky humor, appealing at least as much to adults as to children. These pedestrian superhero episodes, on the other hand, cannot fail to convince adults to pass them up.
The premise of the series is that 6 ordinary individuals (2 bunnies, a Tasmanian devil, a duck, a roadrunner, and a coyote) live on the "city-planet" of Acmetropolis and acquire super powers when a meteor strikes the planet in 2772. What's confusing is that the titles section features these individuals with a count-up to 2772 from the 21st Century. Cute, but frelling stupid.
In each episode, the super sextet - amid mildly amusing but essentially banal...
