We went there on Saturday on its second day of the experience to review it and it feels like I'm in an Warner Bros. cartoon as an Looney Tune character for an day (and forever). "Get Animated Invasion" head it all including several apps featuring animated programs streaming on Boomerang; taking pictures of scenes like "Duck Season! Rabbit Season!" from Looney Tunes, the living room from Tom & Jerry and hop on in the Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo!. There's also an exhibit on CalArts students show best color designs for their Martin the Martain's and for an treat to enjoy the party at the lot with an free Flintstones Ice Cream plus feel free to purchased an Warner Bros. item at the gift shop.

The "Get Animated Invasion" experience here in New York City was an huge success for Warner Bros. Animation for its Looney friends, something to enjoy while spending the weekend at the Comic Con is an recipe to Acme's success. We may see another one real soon, until then as the sign says as I leave the event.
