The Wacky World of Tex Avery (alternate version)

The Wacky World of Tex Avery is a 1997 animated television series created by Robby London and co-produced by DIC Entertainment, Les Studios Tex SARL, Milimetros, M6 and Telcima. Despite being called "a homage to the brilliant, hilarious and groundbreaking animator Tex Avery and the wonderful squash-and-stretch cartoons of his era", animation fans hated the show for being an "insult" to Tex Avery's legacy, along with its animation, crude humor, voice acting, character designs and imagery, theme song, lack of music, outdated stereotypes and characters. But what would happen if the series actually paid tribute to Tex Avery and other cartoonists of the golden era of animation?

List of changes

 * It would be called, The Wacky World of Looney Tunes.
 * The series would've been co-produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation and Turner Entertainment for Cartoon Network rather than Les Studios Tex SARL, Milimetros, M6 and Telcima for syndication.
 * Like we mentioned before, the series would be a tribute to Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, William Hanna, Joseph Barbera, David H. DePatie, Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson, Bob Clampett and Ub Iwerks.
 * The segments would feature characters created by said creators.
 * As a result, all the original characters created for the series wouldn't exist due to them being copies of preexisting characters.
 * The designs would be faithful to the Looney Tunes.
 * The writers opted to watch a lot of classic Looney Tunes, MGM cartoon studio and DePatie–Freleng Enterprises' shorts to get to know what they're working with.
 * The series would last from 1997 to 2002.
 * The gross-out, annoying moments, racist stereotypes, over-the-top violence, unsettling imagery, disturbing facial expressions and toilet humor would be heavily toned down or removed.
 * The music would've been composed by Richard Stone from 1997 until 2001, and Gordon Goodwin from 2001 to 2002.
 * As a result, the show's music would enhance the intended wacky-nutty tone and mood of the show.
 * Also, it wouldn't sound like it was composed as a MIDI music file, or would often be played in different pitches and speeds.
 * Billy West and Maurice LaMarche would still be involved in the show, but they would reprise their roles as Elmer Fudd and Pepe Le Pew from Space Jam.
 * The animation would look less stiff and wonky as the show's production wouldn't be rushed.
 * The series' tone would be similar to classic cartoons of the 1930s, 40s and 50s, but it would also introduce younger fans to:
 * The Looney Tunes
 * Tom and Jerry
 * Droopy
 * Red Hot Riding Hood & the Wolf
 * George and Junior
 * Screwy Squirrel
 * Barney Bear
 * The Pink Panther
 * The Inspector
 * Roland and Rattfink
 * The Ant and the Aardvark
 * Tijuana Toads (referred as The Texas Toads)
 * The Blue Racer
 * Hoot Kloot
 * The Dogfather
 * Misterjaw
 * Crazylegs Crane
 * At the end of every episode before the credits, there would be a tribute that says, "In loving memory to our dear friends who brought these iconic characters to life" with the creators' pictures being shown underneath the text.
 * After his death on February 22nd, 2002, Chuck Jones' name and picture would be added as well.
 * In this alternate universe:
 * Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation would stay open.
 * Les Studios Tex and its three shows Sabrina's Secret Life, Sonic Underground and Stargate Infinity wouldn't exist.
 * However, Archie's Weird Mysteries and Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century would still exist as the said studio would not be involved while Wang Film Productions would handle the animation services for the latter.
 * Back in the early 2000s, Warner Bros. would have kept the rights to Thumbelina, A Troll in Central Park and internationally The Pebble and the Penguin before acquiring MGM, which owns The Secret of NIMH, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Rock-a-Doodle and the North American rights to the latter, instead of selling them to 20th Century Fox (currently Disney).
