"Loonatics Unleashed" The Music Villain (2007)

Bootsy as toon

There is one reason to see this cartoon, and that is to see Bootsy Collins essentially playing himself as a toon. His character is perfect for a toon to begin with, colorful, high-pitched voice, all you need for a bad toon, the perfect "loonatic". I think they would be better off making an entire cartoon series with Bootsy instead of re-fitting old characters like Daffy.

The story is not much to speak of (cheesy crime-fighting hero team on endless missions, super-powers, boring fights... bah) and the music is disappointing. Bootsy/Bootes says "I want you all to be fonk'in baby" but I don't hear any funk, neither rhythm or tune. ("Get up for the down stroke" would have fit perfectly.) But his voice is as weird as ever and when Bootsy shoots missiles with the bass guitar, it is very much in-character. He carries the show and the only thing that is amusing except his voicing and character is Daffy/Danger Duck.

How about making a "Bootzilla" cartoon? But please, give it a stronger soundtrack with heavy funk, and a story that hasn't been reused as much.
