On tap:
Tweety & Sylvester in "Boo! Appetweet".
Bugs & Elmer Fudd in "Plunger", a silent spot.
Daffy Duck in "Bubble Dum".
Edit, 2/1/21: The video has been privatized. In its place, we'll use the show logo, like so:
"Boo! Appetweet" draws most of its inspiration from Tex Avery, specifically the oft-copied Droopy gags. "Plunger" is what it is, a fun filler. "Bubble Dum" presents two iterations of Daffy in one. Yes, he's the screwball duck we remember, but he's also a bit of a dimbulb, as presented on The Looney Tunes Show, because who else would think "street gum" is good to eat?
Plus, the Behind the Scenes bit with Bugs showing how he's drawn is a good way, as he points out, of acknowledging his 80th birthday.
Rating: A.

I'm liking what I've been seeing so far. These shorts are what The Looney Tunes Show should have been, IMO. Also, nice of Bugs to acknowledge his 80th birthday; didn't know it was coming up.
These cartoons are like a sweatshirt you haven't worn in a while. The instant you put it on, you feel instant comfort and a bit of nostalgia. Props to Candi Milo for pulling off the Granny voice we've heard in many of those Freling-directed Tweety shorts.
Candi did a great job channeling the spirit of June Foray, Granny's original portrayer. I kept waiting for Granny to return to find the house a mess, but, nope.
And, yeah, Bugs (and, to a lesser extent, Elmer) is part of the Class of 1940. What a group, dominated, IIRC, by superheroes.....
