So this is the short that will air in front of The Cat in the Hat in November?

I like the take on the classic Duck Season schtick.

And to think that fans exaggerated over nothing! Looney Tunes isn't DEAD and David Zaslav is NOT the bad guy! Either way, I'm looking forward to this short!

They seem to be on a roll this year, with new Olympics shorts, a Fortnite collab, this short. And let's not forget the much-anticipated ex-write off Coyote vs. ACME.

Huh, honestly feel like it's rare to have Daffy and Elmer together without Bugs...though maybe Bugs will still appear .

There is a lot of opportunity for a Looney Tunes ensemble with this premise. The world around Daffy might indicate we could see Taz, Pepé and Speedy considering this might have a World Cup theme to it considering their respective identity with Australia, France and Mexico. Granted if it is just a limited cast, I can deal with that because Daffy is the star.

This will certainly be an unconventional but interesting short.

This will be CG animation. DNEG is working on it. They also did the animation for Coyote vs. ACME and the upcoming Cat in the Hat movie. I think they will do something stylized like Spiderverse or DreamWorks’ recent movies.

Eric Bauza and Jeff Bergman are attached to it.

UPDATE
Annecy Festival

Annecy Festival

Following the discussion of the studio’s new vision, was the world premiere of the anarchic theatrical short Daffy Season, directed by Todd Wilderman and Hamish Grieve and produced by Susan Slagle Rogers. The team highlighted the work of Rachel Daniel-Gallo, a production designer whose art for the film was inspired by Maurice Noble’s vivid, stylized environments. “It was important to honor the hand crated spirit of animation,” Wilderman said. Grieve added that even with all of the homage, the team’s goal “wasn’t to recreate the past but to build on it.” The timing of the short is uncanny — featuring a story about Daffy Duck’s fits of jealous rage when he realizes the duck hunting season has been replaced by a feverish love of soccer.

And they shoehorned Lola Bunny. She replaced Pepe Le Pew as the chef of Acme Looniversity in Tiny Toons Looniversity. Animaniacs killed him off as he is still erased into the void.

Fun collection of Looney Tunes' here! Also a full CGI Looney Tunes short .

Least it makes sense to have Lola involved in something athletic-based .

The last part I exaggerated. Lola did not replace Pepé Le Pew. I just want Warner Bros to lift his permanent ban for good. At least the Looney Tunes look better here compared to their CG photorealistic look in Space Jam: A New Legacy.

I don’t even see Tweety in this short considering Warner Bros. shoehorns him in everything they produced.

They should have had this play in front of Supergirl to tie in with the World Cup. It's not like it would have hurt the Box Office...

From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"It’ll Be Daffy Season This November"​

"Last month during Annecy, Warner Bros mentioned during their presentation they were producing a new theatrical short starring Daffy Duck, to be released within the year. They didn’t reveal much beyond that, but as of now we have all the missing information about Daffy Season — what it looks like, what it’s about, and what movie it will play in front of this fall.

It turns out the subject of Daffy Season is very relevant to this specific place and time…it’s about soccer! Daffy is expecting Elmer Fudd to start hunting him again soon, only to discover he’s gotten into futbol and is sitting at home watching the World Cup. Daffy being Daffy, he’s insulted no one wants to try and shoot him right now. He takes the lack of threat to his own life as a blow to his ego, and tries to argue he is bigger than soccer. “Soccer season!” “DAFFY SEASON!”"

It's weird that not even Tweety and Sylvester are in the short.

New Looney Tune coming out months after the FIFA World Cup, and we made it to the final game already. Hope it's any good, though. People are loving the Looney Tunes Wacky World of Sports video game already!

 

[awinger24]

Eric Bauza also shared that Jenny Jaffe wrote many new Looney Tunes theatrical shorts.

Based on WBPA's slate in 2027-2028, we are likely getting six more at best.

A new short in front of "Bad Fairies", "Margie Claus", "Oh the Places You'll Go", "Dynamic Duo", "Hello Kitty" and "The Lunar Chronicles".

I think this short film is going to be a disaster because it uses the Chuck Jones character personalities and Jones is a smug animator enabled by his terrible parents to start acting like them, also bugs in this short is just too pleased of himself like that is just horesefeathers to me that they still use the Jones personalities.
