Looney Tunes Reboot Has Begun

by Todd Shaffer | Jun 16, 2019 | Animation, Directing

Warner Bros has released the first shorts for their reboot of Looney Tunes. I’ve had the joy of working on some of these shorts for the past year, and our first one is out, a 2 minute teaser titled “Dynamite Dance.”

This was produced at Tonic DNA with my intrepid team of phenomenal animators and producers. A lot of love went into this short, and a lot of childhood dreams were realized.

Here’s a photo of me and my lead animators on this short: left to right: Me, Chris Wieme, Guillaume Blackburn, Phil Lockerby, and Alain Seguin.

More Looney Tunes shorts coming soon. Stay tuned!

The Educ’Alcool campaign in Quebec has been a lot of fun as we were mandated to produce old school animation. Both are getting loads of air time in Canada. This spot is Turkeys, or Les Dindons, below both the English and French versions.
