Mickey Mouse vs. Looney Toons

Did anyone catch the Looney Toons marathon the other week on Boomerang?  I have to say that I always thought Disney Mickey Mouse cartoons sucked and were never funny to me.  Who would you rather watch -- Mickey or Bugs Bunny?  Daffy or Donald?  Is there anyone here who wasn't bored stiff watching Disney Mickey Mouse cartoons early Sunday evening when you were a kid?  Mickey seems to work better as a Disney icon than as a funny cartoon character.  But here apparently are some people who like Mickey as a character:

I dunno.  I've caught a few of the cartoons on the Disney Channel and they're still incredibly boring.

Bugs bunny is funnier than mickey... and Donald Duck is better than Daffy

I'm a Bugs Bunny fan all the way -- even as a kid I preferred the sarcastic wit of Looney Toons vs. Mickey Mouse.  As for today's cartoons, I'm a BIG Sponge Bob fan.\

Definitely a Looney Toon fan

Sponge Bob is pleasant.  During the '90s I liked Ren and Stimpy too.  BTW -- are there toons you really HATE?  I'm lukewarm on Mickey Mouse.  Quite boring, but I didn't outright loathe the cartoons.  But I absolutely couldn't stand Tom and Jerry.  It got me mad how unfair it was to the poor cat who was always misunderstood and the damn mouse always got away with murder.  I still feel outraged at it when I think about it....      (couldn't have anything to do with the fact that i was a misunderstood kid, huh?)

Im bad... but she's still pretty cool...

Bugs Bunny fans all the way here.....My hubby is the biggest fan...He is worse then the kids to get up on a Sunday morning for the cartoons...

Nothing like having a good cup of coffee with the smell of bacon and eggs cooking,and watching bugs and the gang!..That is the best!

I think the Disney animation was more known for their artistic detail, where the Warner Bros. cartoon were "slap stick" kind of humor. I actually like them both and appreciate their different artistic talents

Disney Studios continues to crank out gems like Toy Story (1 and 2), and Brother Bear. (Along with recent classics like Mulan and Aladdin.) I like these much better than Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

Warner Brothers seems to be less prolific, but they did put out "Space Jam", one of the best live action/cartoon movies of the late 20th century.

I appreciate the efforts of both studios.

 

Gopher,

There is a new Warner Bros, movie just released this holiday season.

I agree Disney has been more prolific but they have put out some bad stuff trying to capitalize on the Disney name.

Like Return to Neverland?  Cinderella II?  Do you remember that Smigel Saturday Night Live commerical for a Disney Bambi 2002 sequel movie -- that was hilarious.  Half the animation was recycled from the original, mother deer came back seemingly from the dead ("It was just a flesh wound, dear," she tells Bambi), with new hip hop songs, Bambi fighting terrorists by kicking them with hoofs as the other forest animals chant "U.S.A., U.S.A," dodging hunter's bullets a la The Matrix, the TV spot narrator extolling the movie's "high-powered Disney action"....

The Warner Bros. stuff lately seems to be pretty lousy too tho.  The Muppets, tho, THEY'VE remained consistently good.

I love them both, so I don't really care... unless I'm sick.   Then I have to watch Disney cartoons and eat grilled cheese sammiches, while laying on the couch covered up in my favorite blanket.  It's worked for me since I was 10.  I highly recommend it next time you are ill.

I have never tired of Bugs Bunny.

Bugs Rules!!

Remember when Farkel did his Looney Tunes / Dwelling in Unity / From House to house medley?

Its here in the opening post to the thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/43292/1.ashx

Hilarious stuff!

Englishman.

I always liked Looney Tunes, especially Bugs Bunny, Daffy, Tweety, and the Roadrunner.

Disney tunes never did a thing for me, and Mickey Mouse is nothing but a greedy entraprenuer.

I always preferred Tex Avery cartoons above Disney & Looney...

 

Englishman....I can't believe I missed that the first time around! This board has so many gems. I always thought Song 65 sounded kinda funny....was it a "Kingdom Melody" or a "Merrie Melody"?? *smile* --Leolaia

Seems that space aliens prefer Mickey:

i always hated looney toons. i'm definitely a disney girl. whoever said the muppets are consistently good is right, too!
