I don’t think this is supposed to be the same bus from the original MSB; I sure hope it isn’t. This iteration is geared towards preschoolers, and it shows in a way that I hate. It’s another example of the awful “YouTube Kids” style that most preschool shows have nowadays. The OG bus’ face looks like it belongs on a vehicle, with the headlights as eyes and the front bumper as the mouth. This one has a nose-less human face just sort of growing out of the front, so it’s disconcerting to look at. I’d be afraid to get on this bus.

Since today is Juneteenth, I feel compelled to mention this. The short is called “Rebel Without Claws.”

Sylvester is invited to all the cookouts.

1. Elmer Fudd—Looney Tunes. I think I prefer his original design, because his later one makes him look more babyish, which makes you feel bad for him when Bugs drops an anvil on his head or whatever.

2. Porky Pig— Looney Tunes

3. Mario

For those who don’t know, Loonatics Unleashed was a short- lived cartoon about descendants of the Looney Tunes who were superheroes and supervillains. Most of the characters looked exactly like their ancestors (the Loonatics’ weird colors notwithstanding), but the ones based on Pepe Le Pew (Images 1 and 2) and Foghorn Leghorn (Images 3 and 4) were humans. Hopefully, they weren’t supposed to be descendants! Pepe (or Pierre, in this case) smelled bad because of the cologne he wore.

I don’t dislike this, I just found it a bit odd, especially since it was just these two characters specifically. I’d be interested to hear the writers’ and character designers’ reasons for this decision.

Also, Sylvester’s descendant is still a cat, but he’s very tall and ripped (Image 5). I actually love this and find it funny.

For those who don’t know, having a “frog in your throat” means you have phlegm in your throat or some other sensation that makes you feel like clearing it.

Having “butterflies in your stomach” means that you’re nervous, usually in anticipation of something or around someone you’re attracted to.

“Cat got your tongue?” is what you ask someone when they won’t talk, especially when they won’t answer a question.

Having “ants in your pants” means you’re restless.

1. Phoebe from The Magic School Bus. She’s holding an ant larvae in the picture. She also shows compassion to praying mantises, even if they’re giant, and she thinks Gila monsters are cute.

2. Mabel and her grandmother from Hoppers. One scene shows them releasing a spider that was in their house. Mabel has no problem talking to snakes, spiders, and worms once she gains the ability to do so.

3. Steve Irwin, aka The Crocodile Hunter. Of course, he never actually hunts crocs or other reptiles because he loves them!

I stuck to the main characters. I only included Egghead Jr because the idea of him knowing while Foghorn doesn’t is hilarious. Do you agree with everyone’s placement?

1. Gilbert Gottfried has played many birds, including Digit (Cyberchase), Iago (Aladdin 1992), and the Aflac Duck.

2. Seth Rogen has played 3 different pigs: Pumbaa (The Lion King 2019), Bebop (TMNT Mutant Mayhem), and Napoleon (Animal Farm 2026).

3. Alan Tudyk has played many robots, including Sonny (I, Robot), Automaton 4 (Superman 2025), and K-2SO (Rogue One: a Star Wars Story).

The main character from Hoppers is Japanese-American, and there was a brief scene of her eating food with her grandmother. Can someone name the different foods in the picture?
