Looney Tunes Active! program for kids

Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) launched the Looney Tunes Active! program  to support global efforts to promote an active and healthier lifestyle for children. Looney Tunes Active! aims to encourage an active lifestyle among its target market, primarily children, and their families, by engaging in sports and other physical activities while having fun at the same time. Looney Tunes Active! shows kids that being active is cool! 

Why Looney Tunes? 

They’re DYNAMIC. They’re HILARIOUS. And they’re ON THE MOVE! 

Looney Tunes characters are active by nature. Their high-energy humour continues to thrill audiences young and old.  And because of their active perpetual motion, they’re one of the few character brands that stand for an active lifestyle.  

WBCP sees this as an opportunity to use the popularity and positive perception of the Looney Tunes characters to support initiatives that promote a more active lifestyle for kids. 

Looney Tunes Active! in Other Territories 

Due to its success in Europe, the Looney Tunes Active! program is now being implemented in Southeast Asia and Greater China, specifically, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Hong Kong and China.

Looney Tunes Active! Fun Run in SM Megamall and SM City Cebu 

In 2009, WBCP, through its Philippine agent, Global Brands Group, launched a school tour where a running clinic was conducted by locally renowned coach Rio de la Cruz, in partnership with the Physical Education and Sports Clubs of participating schools in Metro Manila. This culminated with the first Looney Tunes Active! Fun Run in SM Mall of Asia on August 30, 2009.  The event was attended by almost 1,000 participants, consisting of children, parents and sports enthusiasts.
