Warner Brothers Struggles

So this was announced earlier this week:
A "Marvin the Martian" Movie

You'd think I'd be excited to hear about a Marvin the Martian movie… I'm a big Looney Tunes fan and Marvin was always one of my favorite characters. But there's this little tidbit from the article:
The project will blend live action and CGI.
Presumably, 'classics' like Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back in Action must lead them to believe that people are, once again, clamoring for more Live Action/Animated Looney Tunes adventures. One would think that the successes of movies like Wall·E, Ice Age, The Incredibles and the entire Shrek oeuvre would lead SOMEONE at the WB to think "hey, why don't we do an ANIMATED Looney Tunes movie!"

Apparently, you'd be wrong. Of course, judging from their last lamentable attempt at traditional animation, the unwatchably unfunny Duck Dodgers (in the 24th and ½ Century), maybe that's just as well.
