"'''Daffy Magician'''" is a series of interstitial gags, starring [[Daffy Duck]] and [[Porky Pig]].
== Development ==
 
[[W:c:looneytunes:Sam Register|Sam Register]] and [[W:c:looneytunes:Pete Browngardt|Pete Browngardt]], creator of ''[[wikipedia:Uncle Grandpa|Uncle Grandpa]]'', are the executive producers for this project.<ref>https://www.cbr.com/looney-tunes-cartoons-2019-debut/</ref> The designs for ''Looney Tunes Cartoons'' were previewed in the Warner Bros. Animation logo that was first shown before ''[[wikipedia:Teen Titans Go! To the Movies|Teen Titans Go! To the Movies]]'' and shown in other Warner Bros. film subsequently.
 
   
 
== Gags ==
In 2017, after Browngardt finished ''Uncle Grandpa'', he had a lunch meeting with Audrey Diehl, the creative executive at Warner Bros. She was talking about a project that didn't interest him, so he talked about a project that did. As they wrapped up lunch, Pete said "You know, what I really want to do is to direct a ''Looney Tunes'' short." She was surprised that he liked the ''Looney Tunes'' and got him with a meeting with Sam Register. Browngardt said he wanted to do it like the old 40s cartoons. He then planned his cast, which was immediately set to Bauza, and he was really a fan of Jim Soper's art on Instagram, so he hired him as a character designer.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nukethefridge.com/talking-looney-toons-cartoons-with-producer-peter-browngardt/|title=TALKING LOONEY TOONS CARTOONS WITH PRODUCER PETER BROWNGARDT|date=2020-05-26|access-date=2020-05-29|website=Nuke The Fridge|last=Plummer|first=Alan}}</ref>

The [[:File:HBO Max Looney Tunes Cartoons Comic-Con@Home 2020|2020 San Diego Comic Con panel]] on ''Looney Tunes Cartoons'' revealed that the production took particular pains to preserve the aesthetic and style of the original ''Looney Tunes''. The supervising producer, Alex Kirwan, mentioned that while everything was created from scratch, some reporters mistook the faithful designs as reused backgrounds from the original. Aaron Spurgeon, the art director, was also noted as having used interior design magazines from the 1940s to help stay true to the old looks.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://youtu.be/rkyR9HDGmVY|title=HBO Max: Looney Tunes Cartoons &#124; Comic-Con@Home 2020|date=2020-07-26|accessdate=2020-07-26}}</ref>
