However, this does go to the general problem Looney Tunes has had for decades, which is they were really cartoon shorts meant for general cinema audiences, not necessarily kids. (Contrast this to Disney, who has always been on demographic).

IMO I think it's worthwhile to pull the curtain back a bit, because I think there's a bit of a risk of historical overfit. https://acoup.blog/2026/06/05/collections-pre-modern-armies-for-worldbuilders-part-i-why-they-fight/29 Aug 2026 03:33 +0000at://did:plc:xiespymypueiexeutsofthi5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu6wxmlr7k23https://bsky.app/profile/sashotodorov.bsky.social/post/3mu6rglom322mIt's a Lionel O Scale set, so 0/10, absolutely unloveable, would not purchase if it was on sale for $1.00.
