Was political correctness what got Looney Tunes out of the mainstream? I'd wager it was Warner/HBO being greedy once streaming became a thing. That, and kids these days don't care for that animation style compared to the high contrast/saturation visual slop that's prevalent nowadays, but ya know, get off my lawn.

Kids nowadays still appreciate the old cartoons. At least mine. That was them the other day:

Now do one for SpongeBob

I had no idea they changed up the SpongeBob style until I was working at a client's house while their kids were watching, and was real confused as the why it looked so weird until their mom, who was my age, told me what was up.

Why looney toons when you can watch season 27 of Big Mouth (TM) on Netflix (TM)

It's more that it's WAYYY cheaper to do a live action remake of whatever old story and get millions than to spend years animating by hand

No the meme is trolling. PC didn't have anything to do with it.

I dunno, some of those old cartoons were pretty dated even when I was a kid

some were a bit sexist, but you can't tell me roadrunner and coyote were politically incorrect, for example. even if they had one incorrect skit, it could easily be removed. maybe it was the violence that got too much for kids tho
