Alternate idea--it's similar to the old NBC show The Duck Factory(works well since I plan on having Jim Carrey in the lead role): Carrey is an aspiring artist, gets a job at WB studios, finds out the Toons are real to his shock, and as their new boss he must try to keep them in line like a workplace comedy.

Jim Carrey was just an unknown stand-up comic in the days of NBC's The Duck Factory, but he's a big movie star now. It's doubtful that anyone could convince Mr. Carey to agree to working on a TV series, and the average network couldn't afford to employ him. I think that it would be best to hire an unknown actor for his part. Still, it's not the worst idea I've ever heard.

Just for the record, I merely pointed out that the gag blooper reel idea has been done before and that your premise doesn't lend itself to a feature length film. I never said anything about not liking it. It has potential. A short or a half hour special with this premise could conceivably work, if done well.

The Duck Factory-esque sitcom idea has potential, but let me ask you something: do you really need to use the Looney Tunes characters for it? You could just as easily create your own original characters for it; it could be like the late FOX/IFC sitcom Greg the Bunny, but with toons (and more suitable for a general audience, of course).

I prefer doing this as a feature film in lieu of a TV series because I would give it more time to develop the characters and not be constrained to a half hour special.

Well, it is suppose to be a Looney Tunes film and I am going to include original human characters so not really sure why you guys keep saying I'm not ever going to include original characters.

And honesty--wouldn't you guys pay to go see the Looney Tunes give Jim Carrey hell? I would!

And Starburst, I thought that "Looney Tunes At Work" was a good title because it was my take on the title "Men At Work" since it's going to involve a workplace.

But if you honestly don't like it, what title would you give? Because in all honesty, it took me almost a year to come up with that idea(I came up with it before "Back in Town" and "Back in Business").

You can't develop characters that you don't own; you can only give your own interpretations of them, and as was said earlier, this premise seems too simplistic to be a feature film. Movies typically have more complex plots. There's (usually) some sort of major conflict that needs to be resolved, a rising and falling action, as well as some overall goal for the main characters to achieve, and based on what I've read so far, LTaW doesn't have any of those elements. Frankly, I just don't see how you could stretch something like this out for longer than an hour before it starts to get old.

I don't see how it's "supposed" to be a Looney Tunes movie other than you just want it to be. This idea could conceivably work with any set of fictional characters, including original creations (which is what I would do. I also would do this as a TV series rather than a movie, but that's me). If you would rather use established characters, then just say that. Likewise, I don't how or why it has to be a movie, especially since you've already admitted that you have no plot or a complete cast as of yet.

And I wasn't counting human characters, as no one is going to tune in to a Looney Tunes movie to see them, but it's fine as long as you understand that as long as you insist on using the Looney Tunes characters, you can't do anything with your story other than post it on a public fan fiction website, because you don't own the LT characters, therefore you have no legal rights to them. Just as long as you understand that.

Why is it "supposed" to be a Looney Tunes film? You seem to be obsessed with rehashing the same, tired format of animated characters from Hollywood's golden age interacting with live-action ones. It's already been done... accept it and move on.

You initially said that you have no characters or actual plot; yet you're ready to cast a big-name star in a role that doesn't even exist on paper. Good night, nurse... if you're not beating the proverbial dead horse, you've got his sorry carcass standing behind the cart(!)

To be honest, this is really just a rehash of your previous ideas: namely, the Looney Tunes interacting with big name live-actors, which has been done. The only difference is this time you have 1 particular big-name actor in mind and the plot is basically copying 2 TV sitcoms instead of another movie. I find it interesting how you never pass up an opportunity to call Looney Tunes: Back in Action a bomb when all of your movie ideas are basically rehashes of LT:BiA.

Ah, no, dude. We're not doing that again. I give you 1 suggestion for an idea and the next thing I know you're bugging me and everyone else here for ideas everyday, and then it starts to feel like we're the ones writing your script. No. It's your fanfic idea, call it what you want. I really, really don't want to get involved this time. If you're truly committed to this idea, then you've also got to be committed to do the actual work. No one here is going to do it for you.

...and there are a few holes in this plot. If Toons are living sentient creatures in this universe, then why does WB studios need artists at all? Camera crews could just film the Toons doing stuff, just like live actors.

And why would Carrey be the Toons' new boss? He's just a newbie artist, not an established producer or director. Actors don't work for aspiring artists and writers, it's the other way around. This needs work.

I'm pretty sure I can seeing with how the Toons interact with everyone.

Now I keep hearing from you guys if I go with this idea people will get bored. Now what can I do with my idea to get people interested for over an hour? Because I plan on captivating people with as much comedy as I can get away with.

And also, me calling BiA a bomb is pretty much a coincidence!

Heck, I love that movie and I think it's almost the closet to the classics.

No, you can't. You can develop the original characters, but you can't develop the Looney Tunes characters because they're copyrighted characters that you don't own. You can only do your versions of the LT characters. You don't seem to understand what I'm saying.

I honestly don't know how to "get people interested for over an hour" because I don't think that this idea should go on for over an hour. If you don't know how to make an parody of The Office with the Looney Tunes characters and Jim Carrey work as a movie, then there's an easy solution for that: Don't do it as a movie. As was said earlier, this idea seems best suited for a short or at the most a half hour TV special.

Truth be told, the length is a moot point; since you don't own the LT characters and therefore can't go public with your idea, it's not a movie, a short nor a TV special. It's just a fanfic. You can make as long or as short as you need or want to make it.

The best advice I can give you is: if you really want to do this as a feature, then you need a more complex plot than just "The Looney Tunes and Jim Carrey do The Office". In its' current form, this idea works better as a short or a skit.

Then why do you keep asking if it's OK to call it a bomb in your movie ideas? Funny way to address a movie that you're allegedly a fan of. Just sayin'.

I'd like to get permission from WB to use their copyrighted characters in my script so I can develop them.

Well obviously, I'd like to get permission from WB to use their copyrighted characters in my script so I can develop them.

I'm not making it a parody of The Office. I'm simply using the mockumentary format. Other shows such as Parks and Recreation and Modern Family have used this.

Why? You said earlier that you're only writing this for fun, not for profit. You don't need to get permission from Warner Brothers to write a Looney Tunes fanfic. Just write it and remember to add a disclaimer that you don't own the Looney Tunes characters in the final print so there won't be any legal problems.

True, but The Office (the British series, not American version) employed this format first. Parks and Rec and Modern Family merely borrowed from it. Therefore, we can simplify by calling your idea a parody of The Office, since that was the series that started it all.

Also, no offense, but based on what I've read so far, the whole addition of Jim Carrey just seems tacked on to me. I see no real reason for him to be there

Exactly. Of course I was going to do that. I just started getting confused because you kept saying I can't develop Bugs Bunny and the other Toons in my idea even though I'd have their personality on par with the original.
