Knowing about the easy money that awaits actors and actresses in the land of animation (Renee Zellweger, get back on this), there isn’t anything very out of the ordinary about the Vulture report that Mike Myers will voice Pepé Le Pew. After all, Myers has made untold millions doing similar duties on the four Shrek films, and hopping — or slinking, as Pepé does — into the world of Looney Tunes for Warner Bros. will at least give him some extra spending money. And, hey, that Le Pew is part of an iconic group of cartoon characters probably doesn’t hurt Myers’ interest either. Though about that last part…

Consider this disconcerting fact about the entire Looney Tunes franchise, and, by proxy, America: According to E-Poll Market Research data, “more Americans over the age of 13 can recognize Mike Myers (68 percent) than can recognize Bugs Bunny (66 percent) or Daffy Duck (56 percent).”

First of all: Seriously? And second: Seriously? Bugs Bunny is as American as apple pie (if not Shrek); you’re telling me that if you pulled 100 people at random and showed them a picture, 34 would have no idea what they were looking at? And don’t even get me started on the fact that Bugs Bunny should be more recognizable to people over the age of 13 than under — after all, when was the last time you saw a kid playing with a Bugs Bunny doll?

Anyway, if that many people have trouble identifying Bugs, hope for box office millions from Pepé Le Pew has to immediately get called into question. (That he’s French is obviously a demerit, too, here in the land of Freedom Fries.) This wasn’t designed to be one of those, “Throw another log on the fire of the apocalypse” posts, but if the bunny ears fit…

If 34% of Americans over the age of 13 don't know who Bugs Bunny is that begs the question What's up Doc? :crazy: :rolleyes:

Now that's just sad!!!

That's the reason why we need to put Looney Tunes back to CN and Boomerang! If not, let those 34% watch this!...

Why am I not surprised

...Warner Home Video is releasing a two-disc DVD, "The Essential Bugs Bunny Collection", to remind that 34% exactly WHO he's supposed to be....

:rolleyes:

I miss Bugs Bunny-lol

More than that can't even tell you who the vice president is.

i grew up watching bugs bunny and mickey mouse cartoons i can't belive that people don't know whobugs bunny is i reconnmed Tinytoos.. it kind of like looney toones version of mummpet babies. it got buster bunny then babs bunny. it got bugs bunnnyas teacher and pokry pig and daffy duck as teacher. it like small version of looney toons. if you like looney toone i recommed checking out tiny toons.

that is just although i think some of those 34% people are also teens who haven't a clue who bugs is.

this is why we need the classic cartoons back- at least they were memorable compared to the trash that is on cartoon network, nickleodeon and disney channel these days.

This is just inexcusable!!! Bugs Bunny is an American icon. :mad:

I agree for the most part.Most of those peope must be teenagers or in their early 20s. So many great cartoons have been taken off the air,and replaced with the modern trash they make now.Many kids/teens growing up today have no clue whatsover what truly good entertainment is.They think they do,but they do not.

the only decent channel that shows classic cartoons is boomerang. i'm shocked though. bugs has been around for decades, he's one of cartoon's biggest icons. and still many kids today have no idea who he is. i don't have cable, but the likes of cartoon network have gone down the pan.

THIS IS DESPICABLE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS !

That's crazy!!! I Love Bugs Bunny!
