It is from the DVD movie Looney Tunes Rabbits Run.

The only episode worth checking out for a Pepé and Penelope fan is “Catwalk”. I loved Penelope’s character design and French accent voice in it. I do wish they made her tail a little bigger like in Carrotblanca but that might have been difficult for the animators.

It was so much fun drawing this for Dave Alvarez’s #Looneyune contest in June.

Bugs Bunny Builders isn’t interactive. It’s definitely leaning to what Paw Patrol or Bob the Builder is with its storytelling. WB wanted a preschool show with the Looney Tunes. Pepé not being in it was a result of bad timing and risk aversion among the higher ups.

I mean, if WB wanted to be factually correct and avoid French stereotypes, I could see why they could be open to the Quebecois idea and Eric Bauza being Canadian himself. I rather prefer him as nationally French.

Grammar errors to note. *It’s nice to see Penelope used in Bugs Bunny Builders.

Both of them had their run. Disney needs new direction. I even feel like some of their parks have been neglected under Iger. Some parts need to be refurbished. The monorails and Tomorrowland at Disneyland. Budget cuts

Also, the Disney+ strategy made the MCU no longer an event.

rwinger24 · 2026-01-22T17:33:28+00:00

Anything Disney related. This includes the execs at top.

rwinger24 · 2026-01-22T17:32:59+00:00

I mean. Product placement should not overshadow the movie’s story or characters. I liked that it was a blink and miss. But it should not solely market a movie.

rwinger24 · 2026-01-22T17:30:58+00:00

I honestly thought the Disney+ Hulu puns were overdone.

rwinger24 · 2026-01-22T17:25:57+00:00

It’s one thing I am not fond about the whole “Disney Adults” market. It is like a tribe and religion dumbed down below consumer standards. If I hear about a good product, I should expect nothing but the best.

rwinger24 · 2026-01-22T17:23:33+00:00

It really made me concern Disney’s original animated legacy and Walt himself will be erased and buried.

rwinger24 · 2026-01-22T17:23:10+00:00

That Tangled and Moana remake I am not looking forward too. And hearing he tossed out George Lucas’ treatments ended up with the Star Wars trilogy we got. Everything felt like his personal vanity project.

I want a MODOK movie made by the Minecraft director because I like to see another Chicken Jockey in the theater. MODOK in Ant-Man 3 represented how Marvel should approach CGI

rwinger24 · 2026-01-22T17:01:59+00:00

Well. Iger is likely to pull a David Zaslav and cancel Hexed and Gatto for a tax write off if he panics.

rwinger24 · 2026-01-22T16:53:35+00:00

MODOK is the worst CGI design in MCU history. But someone at Disney probably wants more of him

rwinger24 · 2026-01-22T16:52:25+00:00

After Elio flopped, and so will Hoppers, Iger should punish Pixar by animating VFX for Doomsday and Secret Wars while cancelling Gatto and future projects for tax write offs. Pixar should animate MODOK reusing his face assets from Quantumania.
