This is the Loonatics thing all over again with people overreacting. We forget sometimes that the Bugs and Mickey we love and remember today are redesigns of redesigns. I think it's good to try things out every so often to keep things moving. But if you do want to worship at the altar of Termite Terrace, pick up those Golden Collection DVD box sets.
