Warner Bros. Pictures Animation arrived at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival with a bold message: the era of canceled releases and corporate caution may be coming to an end. In this episode, we break down WBPA’s ambitious new feature slate, from The Cat in the Hat and Bad Fairies to Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, Prehistoria, Margie Claus, Dynamic Duo, Hello Kitty, and The Lunar Chronicles. We also discuss the newly announced Powerpuff Girls movie, potential future projects involving Tom and Jerry, ThunderCats, and Meerkats, and whether Bye Bye Bunny could eventually return. On the Looney Tunes front, we take a closer look at Daffy Season, the first theatrical Looney Tunes short in more than a decade, which will play before The Cat in the Hat. We explore its soccer-themed premise, CGI-rendered characters, classic catchphrase humor, and the significance of Warner Bros. Animation reconnecting with the legacy of Termite Terrace. The DC animation slate is just as packed, with updates on My Adventures with Green Lantern, DC Super Powers, Krypto, Starfire!, Mister Miracle, Knightfall Trilogy, Joker: Laugh Riot, and the upcoming Absolute Batman animated series from comic writer Scott Snyder.
