Sometimes simple is better. You don't even need any dialogue to tell a story! This amusing new short film is once again an example of the great power of visual storytelling. Snif & Snüf is a 5-minute animated short created by filmmaker / animator Michael Ruocco. He works in the animation industry in Los Angeles as a storyboard artist / animator and dabbles in filmmaking every once in a while with his own shorts (like this one!). This clever Looney Tunes-esque film is about two goofball characters who discover an interesting new object, and learn about what it means to share. It premiered last year and played at a few film festivals and is now online for everyone to enjoy. A nice review on YouTube really says it best: "This feels like it could've come out 60 years ago and stood with the giants, but feels just as fun and relevant coming out today.

Earlier this week, WB announced that it had decided to replace Elmer Fudd’s gun with a scythe for any upcoming Looney Tunes shorts that will be aired on HBO Max. While the decision to change the hunter’s arsenal was made in order to check the spread of gun violence, hundreds of people have since deemed the censorship unnecessary and ideologically-motivated.
Interestingly, outrage over the ban became so widespread that a Looney Tunes cartoonist saw fit to respond to it. Michael Ruocco, a veteran animator at WB, let fans of his work know that he was absolutely baffled by their disappointment. Noting that the range of gun-related jokes is rather limited – not to mention exhausted after decades of productions – he also pointed out that the gun, which many regard as an integral part of Fudd’s personality, is little more than a stand-in for the character’s “flawed, challenged masculinity.
