SDCC 2024 seems to have at least one panel a year dedicated to Looney Tunes and I'm here for it, but not there. I couldn't make it out to the Fan Capital of California, but my dear friend The Tooney Tenor was able to cover for me!

MeTV Toons brought out the Looney Legends from voice cast to animation historian, Jerry Beck who is also a producer on the channel! This panel was all about Saturday Morning Cartoons, favorite cereals, animation and the best Bugs Bunny voices you've ever heard.

The Panel Included:

• Bob Bergen: The official voice of MeTV Toons. You’ll recognize his voice as Porky Pig, Tweety, Marvin the Martian, Speedy Gonzales, and Sylvester Jr. He’s also lent his talent to projects like Spirited Away (No-Face). Not to mention various Star Wars video games (Luke Skywalker).
• Jerry Beck: Renowned animation historian, author of numerous books on the subject, and co-founder of the influential Cartoon Research website.
• Eric Bauza: Two-time Emmy-winning voice actor celebrated for his role as Bugs Bunny. Additionally, he has voiced Daffy Duck, Tweety, Marvin the Martian, Stimpy, and many more.
• Jeff Bergman: Celebrated voice actor who has brought life to classic cartoon characters like Fred Flintstone. Known for being Barney Rubble, Yogi Bear, and an extensive list of Looney Tunes favorites including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd.
• Candi Milo: A versatile voice actress known for her work as Dexter from Dexter’s Laboratory, Dr. Nora Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot, Snap from ChalkZone, and Granny and Witch Hazel from Looney Tunes.
