Malaysia (March 31, 2023) – What’s up, Doc? Cartoon Network (Astro Ch 615 HD) and HBO GO are giving top billing to their favourite cast of chaotic animated characters this April, which as we all know is the most mischievous month of the year!
Bringing their signature style of silly shenanigans and playful pranks, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote and the whole crew will turn on the style for Looney Tunes ACME Fools Day – a month-long celebration of cartoons and fun activities.
With Warner Bros. Studios celebrating its 100th anniversary on April 4, Looney Tunes are taking the opportunity to widen the story further in four new animated mashups featuring Scooby-Doo, Superman, The Flintstones and The Wizard of Oz.
On Cartoon Network (Astro Ch 615 HD), there’ll be weekend marathons in April of specially-curated episodes of Looney Tunes Cartoons, Teen Titans GO! and Tom and Jerry, with selected content also available on the streaming service HBO GO and via social channels.
There’s a heap of fun things to entertain fans online. They can dub their own videos and watch funny skits – in fact there’ll be hourly content drops from April 4.
Fans can create their own mashup by combining Looney Tunes faces with iconic elements from a few of Warner Bros.’ most well-loved characters including DC Super Heroes, The Wizard of Oz, Scooby-Doo and The Flintstones. Don’t forget to tag @CartoonNetworkAsia and hashtag your posts with #ACMEFools.
In conjunction with the 100th anniversary, several regional brands are partnering with Warner Bros. Discovery including Skechers, which is launching a Looney Tunes apparel range, and mobile phone cases and accessories from Rhinoshield.
Here in Malaysia, Royal Selangor is celebrating the centennial with the April launch of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck figurines.
Common Sense is releasing two t-shirts with the famous Warner Bros. shield this month. Cheetah will also stock a WB100 casual clothing range for all ages from May, while Soda will launch its range in June. Fashion store operator Padini will offer a WB100 capsule collection under their house brands – PDI, BO and Padini Authentics – from now until June.
Coming in May is a series of WB100 gift and novelties products from Sheldonet including mugs, luggage tags, bottles, pin badges and tin containers, using Warner Bros. mashups and the Warner Bros. shield. Objet will also have a variety of household products featuring coasters, mugs and tumblers from June.
