Roddy is a decidedly upper-crust "society mouse" who lives the life of a beloved pet in a posh Kensington flat. When a sewer rat named Sid comes spewing out of the sink and decides he's hit the jackpot, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest by luring him into the "whirlpool." Sid may be an ignorant slob, but he's no fool, so it is Roddy who winds up being flushed away into the bustling sewer world of Ratropolis. There Roddy meets Rita, an enterprising scavenger who works the sewers in her faithful boat, the Jammy Dodger. Roddy immediately wants out, or rather, up; Rita wants to be paid for her trouble; and, speaking of trouble, the villainous Toad - who royally despises all rodents equally, making no distinction between mice and rats--wants them iced... literally. The Toad dispatches his two hapless hench-rats, Spike and Whitey, to get the job done. When they fail, the Toad has no choice but to send to France for his cousin - that dreaded mercenary, Le Frog.
The Looney Tunes Show is an American animated television series (based on the original Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters and series from 1930–1969) which premiered May 3, 2011 on Cartoon Network. It is produced by Warner Bros. Animation, the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner CGI shorts are produced by Crew972, with animation by Toon City Animation, Yearim, and Rough Draft Korea. The show is rated TV-PG, marking the first-ever Looney Tunes cartoon to carry this rating.
The concept of the show revolves around roommates Bugs and Daffy living in the suburbs of Los Angeles with "colorful neighbors" including Lola Bunny, Tina Russo Duck, Porky Pig, Foghorn Leghorn, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester, Tweety, Gossamer, Yosemite Sam, Speedy Gonzales, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, Marvin the Martian, Pete Puma and more. The show\'s plots are slightly more adult-oriented than has been seen in past Looney Tunes shows, such as dating, love triangles, employment, and rooming. This gives the show more of a sitcom feel than previous Looney Tunes series.
The show also features two other segments which wrap around the main plot. These consist of Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, computer animated shorts depicting Wile E. Coyote\'s attempts to catch the Road Runner, and Merrie Melodies, two-minute music videos showcasing classic characters singing brand-new original songs.
