Taz - "Naughty or Nice?"
Tweety & Sylvester - "Twas the Night Before Christmas"
Bugs, Daffy & Elmer - "Tis the Season"
Each of them has a sound feature. You can actually hear the sound clips that each ornament plays on the Hallmark website. Be warned, the voice they got for Bugs & Daffy is possibly the worst I have ever heard. I know it's just a Hallmark ornament, but c'mon, why not at least lift the audio from original cartoon?

Damn! Talk about cheap voice acting. Mel Blanc's voice is a thousand times better that the cheap imitation voices from the ornamant.
Sounds like me on a beer run.
Warner Legal must be afraid that the cartoon soundtracks, or some element from them (music?) can't be reused outside the context of the cartoons themselves without incurring some kind of legal risk. Sure, this never bothered Warner before, but lack of precedent never bothered them either.
Nevertheless, none of this translates to a requirement that anything new be recorded by a guy whose Bugs and Taz are no better than mine. These really are the worst approximations of these voices I've ever heard, and Daffy isn't much better.
Why didn't they get Joe Alasky to play Bugs and Daffy?
Wow, they didn't even get Billy West to voice Bugs, that's a shock. He must have been told he wouldn't get paid, and decided to say screw it.
ramapith - I think there is some precedent here, although not with Warner Brothers.
Remember the fate of King Louie?

I don't know. I recall Hallmark using sound clips from the classic Looney Tunes on some of their sound greeting cards last year.
Happy 4th july!!
That's so sad, I can do a better Bugs Bunny voice!
I came across the other 2 at Hallmark. Those voices are just as bad. I don't think they hired a professional voice actor for these. eech!
