It looks so...retro.
Like, there's probably a technique to pull stuff like this off now but it looks like it was, like, 95% hand drawn.
Props.

It's a miracle, Daffy Duck will be actually be Daffy Duck again, hurray!!!!!!!
For the last thirty plus years they've been writing the jealous, selfish, petty version of him (aka Bugs Bunny's sidekick).
Which is fine in certain settings but is not his original character.
Daffy Duck screwing with Elmer Fudd's mind, or infuriating Porky Pig, are some of the funniest cartoons ever.

The cherry on top is them using that song from "The Barber Of Seville".

That was vintage Daffy right there, looking forward to the series.

Why are Bugs hands yellow? That was my first question. Why is he wearing yellow gloves? Other than that, that looks amazing. |

Why are Bugs hands yellow? They were yellow in some of Bugs’ first shorts like Elmer’s Pet Rabbit which seem to be the sort of stuff they’re going back to. |

A couple of the voices are.......rough - sorry Tweety and also Sam to an extent - but much of these work really well; I quite like the echo effect in Marvin's voice.

I welcome any and all new additions to the Looney Tunes, always have, and love even the not-so-great ones.
That said, I have quibbles:
Some of that animation looks almost Flash-level (the software not the hero).
The characters, at least in these clips, rarely seem "grounded" in their environment and float above it, which is distracting.
I'm not looking forward to retreads of Clampett and Avery. I have zero issue with going back to those basic designs and characterizations, but bring a fresh voice to them and don't just ape them.

I think it looks pretty funny. I would probably enjoy it while intoxicated. It seems more modern and self aware but not at the expense of turning it into a parody of itself.

Yeah, the last thirty years they've seemed to go with the Chuck Jones version of the characters. Don't get me wrong, because Chuck is a legend. But different directors had slightly different versions of a character. A Clampett version of Bugs is different than Friz's or Jones'. Like you said, Daffy wasn't always a money grubbing egomaniac. Other times he was absolutely insane or playing Bugs role of outsmarting the bully. He was great playing off Porky as well. |

Wait, why is Porky wearing gloves at the end? I don't ever recall him wearing gloves.

Bugs was more of a droll smartass in the beginning, mostly bemused by Elmer's feeble attempts at hunting. A lot of Daffy's original act got cut, and pasted, onto Bugs at one point and its just kind of stayed that way ever since. I guess it was a case of give your top star the best material to work with even if it wasn't theirs to begin with. Daffy's early work, when he was full on crazy, is my favorite. |
