Pepe Le Pew, the controversial Looney Tune skunk notorious for his sexually aggressive behavior, will not appear in any upcoming projects from Warner Bros. TV.
Deadline reported on Sunday that the cartoon skunk, who was introduced in 1945, will not appear in Warner Bros. TV’s upcoming “Space Jam: A New Legacy” film. Pepe Le Pew isn’t just getting benched for that upcoming feature; The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Monday that the character wouldn’t show up in any of the company’s other upcoming projects.
IndieWire has reached out to Warner Bros. TV for comment.
The Pepe reports surfaced several days after New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow wrote an article criticizing racism and other issues in children’s media. Blow argued that Pepe Le Pew, who is featured in a variety of old cartoons aggressively kissing and grabbing female characters against their will, “normalized rape culture.” Blow...

It’s been many years since Axl Rose released a note of new music or agreed to an in-depth interview, but the elusive Guns N’ Roses frontman has shown a surprising willingness to lend his voice to cartoons. Two years ago, he appeared on Boomerang’s New Looney Tunes where he saved the world from an asteroid by singing “Rock the Rock” with Bugs Bunny on guitar. And tonight he’ll be guesting on the network’s Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? where he’ll get to interact with Shaggy, Fred,...

There have been several different iterations of Looney Tunes (and by association Merrie Melodies) in recent years that have tried to update the classic cartoon characters with contemporary animation styles and modern day storylines. Unfortunately, the likes of The Looney Tunes Show, New Looney Tunes, and even Tiny Toon Adventures from the 1990s failed to […]

Duff McKagan is the latest Guns N’ Roses member to promise that, following their reunion tour, a new album from the band is in the works.
In an interview with Trunk Nation Friday, the bassist revealed that he has heard some of Axl Rose-penned music earmarked for Guns N’ Roses’ first LP since 2008’s Chinese Democracy, and the first Gn’R album with McKagan and Slash since 1993’s The Spaghetti Incident?

Axl Rose has released his first new song in more than 10 years, but neither Slash nor anyone else in Guns N’ Roses is anywhere to be found. Rather, “Rock the Rock” made its premiere on an episode of “New Looney Tunes” with a backup band led by Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig. Watch and listen below if you don’t want 2008’s long-delayed “Chinese Democracy” to be the last time you hear Rose’s vocal stylings.
Rob Janas and Joshua Funk of “Looney Tunes” wrote the track, which clocks in at just over two minutes and was first heard on last month’s “Armageddon Outta Here, Part Two.” Per the title, its rock-and-roll power is used by Axl and his band to stave off an asteroid hurtling toward earth; clearly these “New Looney Tunes” have a near-utopian view of music’s ability to bind us together and, indeed, save the world.

Following weeks of speculation, Axl Rose has officially released “Rock the Rock,” his first new song in over a decade. The song, and Rose himself in cartoon form, appear in an episode of New Looney Tunes.
The episode, titled “Armageddon Outta Here, Part Two,” previously broadcasted in late-December, but Boomerang, the network that airs the animated series, confirmed the Guns N’ Roses singer’s involvement Friday.

The spotlight shines on far more than the core trio of iconic stars of Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. With the likes of primetime television veterans Steven Weber and Thomas Lennon leading the way, the full-length animated feature film boasts a supporting cast of notable voices from across all entertainment mediums and some of the best-loved animated properties.
Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman) own top billing, but Weber (Wings, iZombie, NCIS: New Orleans) and Lennon (The Odd Couple, Reno 911!) – as trustworthy butler Alfred Pennyworth and Chief O’Hara, respectively – headline an impressive array of actors who were excited to give voice to a role in a Batman film.
In addition to Weber and Lennon, the cast includes:
Jeff Bergman as the Joker and the revered Announcer. Bergman is well known as a voice of Bugs Bunny for more than a quarter of a century...
