Looney Puffs

Looney Puffs is an American animated television series created by Lauren Faust for Cartoon Network, based on the legendary Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies short film series. It is one of the programs shown on Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoons block, and is the only Cartoon Cartoons show to be a Looney Tunes property. It is also the only Looney Tunes series to be produced by Cartoon Network Studios. As the title suggests, the series stars PPG-ified versions of the Looney Tunes characters.

All episodes were directed by Lauren Faust, usually in collaboration with other directors who previously worked on The Powerpuff Girls.

The series premiered on May 13, 2002 and ended on January 16, 2006 with five seasons.

Premise
The Looney Tunes, here redesigned in the style for The Powerpuff Girls, continue their looney adventures, chases, tricks and other wackiness.

Reception
The show received mixed reviews from critics and people watching other Cartoon Network shows. Though the show was praised for it's humor, writing, cameos of characters from other CN shows and occasional throwbacks to the original cartoons, some people viewed the show as "quite boring", since it's simply just mixing the Looney Tunes characters with the designs of the Powerpuff Girls. Nevertheless, the show is one of Cartoon Network's top shows at that time and spawned some merchandise.

Trivia

 * The show's theme song in season 1 is a reorchestrated version of "This is It" from The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show, sung by Joe Alaskey (Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck).
 * Just like The Looney Tunes Show prior 2011, the opening intro has a recreation of the Warner Bros. logo seen in Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons.
 * Unlike other Looney Tunes media, Daffy's bill and legs are colored yellow instead of orange.
 * Similarly, both Road Runner's beak and legs are yellow.
 * Unlike other Looney Tunes media and like Carrotblanca, Penelope Pussycat speaks.
 * Just like Class of 3000, where the Tom Lynch Company logo and the Moxie logo appear before the Cartoon Network Studios logo, the Warner Bros. Animation logo appears at the end of the credits before the Cartoon Network Studios logo.
 * Although the show is partly inspired by The Powerpuff Girls, i.e. the Powerpuff redesigns for most of the characters, Craig McCracken has absolutely no involvement with the series.
 * Just like The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, various characters from other Cartoon Network shows make cameos in some episodes.
 * This is the only Looney Tunes series in which Tweety is voiced by a female.
 * Daffy's relationship with Bugs differs from time to time in this series. Most of the time, he is portrayed as the usual greedy duck who is indifferent towards the rabbit, but sometimes he actually gets along fine with him, a trait that would later be carried on to The Looney Tunes Show.
 * Wile E. Coyote's voice in this series, provided by Tom Kane, sounds like a mix between Mr. Herriman's voice from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and his voice from Wabbit/New Looney Tunes.
 * Cartoon Cartoons bumper: Porky pops out of the "O" and says "C-c-c-c-Cartoon Cartoons!".
