With the twists of my mind, a friend online waving to the folkses, made me start thinking about LotR, and in particular gollum, which then shifted to Elmer Fudd speaking gollums lines, ‘It’s my pwescious’…so, in the fashion of Chuck Jones does Wagner’s ring cycle…we have the:
Loony Toons casting call for LotR!!!
Gandalf - Foghorn Leghorn “I say, we go into the mines of Moria, I say”
Daffy Duck - Boromir “Its mine! Mine I say!!! I saw it first!!”
Bugs - Aragorn or Frodo (Being the hero is in his contract)
Henry ChickenHawk - Pippen
Taz - Gimli “We go into Kasphtapthack!”
Any more?
I would put Yosemite Sam in the role of Gimli instead. He just has the right look, and I can imagine him shouting “Never trust an elf carnsarnit!” then firing off some rounds.
Taz would get a lesser role, namely that of the Balrog.
Arwen would be played by Bugs Bunny in drag. Bugs in the Peter Sellers of animation.
Legolas is a tough one. Speedy Gonzalez could fire the arrows quickly (sorry Road Runner, but you don’t have hands), although Pepe Le Pew would be good too, considering how all the chicks seem to dig Orlando Bloom’s version.
Porky Pig would be Bilbo, of course.
I think Marvin the Martian would make a great Sauron.
As I already mentioned, I think the lack of hands disqualifies the Road Runner. Of course, we could always test him and see if he can fire arrows with his feet and still show some quickness…
Actually when I saw the thread title I thought of consumptionjunction (oh no, porno lotr already!) But Chuck Jones, hmmm…The mama chickenhawk is just weird enough to be Tom Bombadil. Speedy Gonzalez could be Frodo if anyone. Wile E. Coyote could be Saruman or Gollum (the villain that just can’t seem to do anything right.) And I agree with Marvin as Sauron. Oh and Bugs Bunny would just have to be Gandalf (What’s up, Witch King of Angmar?)
Lord of the Rings will never work with the Looney Toons gang. You simply give the Ring to Speedy Gonzalez and he races to Mordor in a couple of days and throws the Ring in the fires at Mt. Doom before he becomes corrupted, yelling “Areba, areba, andale, andale” all the way.
fluiddruid If you make Wile.e gandalf, would have amusing consequences…‘I trailed Shadowfax for days, trying to gain his confidence and tame him’ (paraphrase from TTT.)
