टिनी टून्स लूनिवर्सिटी

I have an obsession with Tiny Toons. I've even had the change to meet and spend time with the original artist. But this show is a pale comparison of any other Tiny Toons show.

The voice are all off, the voice actors delivery is horrible, the jokes aren't funny. The storylines are just bad.

I was excited to seen this pop up on Max. But watching it has just been a disappointment.

I can usually deal with voice changes, but everyone is new. But everything else about the show is just a letdown as well.

What happened to the voice actors and writers from the previous show or if anyone is a carryover how did it all go so wrong.

And where did Steven Spielberg go this time around !

So bad he insisted his name be removed I expect.

The truth is that the series left some things to be desired but it is still something enjoyable, the character designs adapt well to today but the plots I feel were not enough to show what it was made of, there are things that did give a lot . It's a change that Buster and Babs are now siblings and it's something that bothers them a little or a lot to the others. Not all the voices felt like they fit the character but they did what they could, however they made an effort. The series seems decent to me because there are positive things, although they didn't do it correctly in certain episodes, it's still good. To enjoy, not all tiny toon fans are going to see what they showed us in a great way, even so as the season progresses the above improves a little, the series may have potential but it was not enough for itself I have no complaints about the animation, at least that looked good until now, but it seemed to be acceptable since it is obvious that it does not surpass the original in several things but if not I will say that it is bad, it is good but not the best.

Remember in the original when the episodes animated by Kennedy Cartoons were deemed atrocious and had to be corrected? Well compared to the static episodes by the current Philippine studio Snipple Animation, they look like Disney in comparison! Because what made Tiny Toon different was that compared to other series they had double the frame count. Now we are returning to even worse frame numbers....

Season 1 main issue was that the episodes were mostly limited within the school.

Season 2 and Spring Break Special at last make a venture outside the school, trying different settings and scripts and approaching the original series adventure element and trying to improve it. Or so I thought.

But alas, instead of trying to change pace for once, they fall into the same repetitive sitcom dialogues reminiscent of other non-LT related series. Of course original Tiny Toons had some sitcom too, but it was not exclusively a sitcom series like this one here!

The Spring Break Special especially was atrocious! There is no Break at all, just the same repetitive dialogues.

Only exception is the glimpse to the siblings family, but 1 good decision can not make up for 10 bad ones.

As if the writers and creators were one dimensional and had no idea to do anything different, which I do not believe is true. Eg the King Tweety movie had not much in common with the classic LT either, especially the atrocious art style, but at least it tried to do something different and kept my interest and had some action and adventure.

I feel that even the worst Tiny Toon Adventures episodes are better than this. Plucky is the exception but even so he can not compare to the original Plucky.

An exception was the space episode but only because they tried to follow the decent Duck Dodgers TV series.

Hope that season 2B is the last one and that they leave this franchise to rest. A pity that Steven Spielberg instead of reminding us that he was a TV animation innovator, surrendered Tiny Toons and Animaniacs to staff that never understood the old LT and WB cartoons.

Because the original producers even grew with Looney Tunes shorts on cinema as kids.

I'm sorry. Babs and Buster have never been related. They were romantic interests all throughout the 90s. They stated "no relation" as a catchphrase. Minnie and Mickey are both Mouse, but they're not related. It would be crazy for a reboot to occur and suddenly they're cousins. That's basically what they did here. It kills the nostalgia. Saved by the Bell did a college series too. Can you imagine if Zack and Kelly were suddenly fraternal twins? Sorry but it's a hard pass for me. I haven't watched but I'm assuming they also took away all of Bab's flirtatious personality. Why aren't cartoons allowed to be fun anymore?

I will be honest; I wasn't really too enthusiastic about this when it was announced. Not necessarily because I don't think the original series (which I grew up on) should be touched, or because I didn't like any of the changes made to the new series, but rather because nine times out of 10 most reboots or revivals of television series don't work out very well.

To my surprise though, this one actually is pretty good. I actually was interested in watching the whole first season on MAX. It is definitely different from its original series in more ways than one, but the people involved seem to really have done the work to justify and execute the concepts for this new production while still retaining the zany and optimistic spirit of the original. Most if not every joke lands to a degree, and there are actually pretty good messages that will resonate with most people.

The new voices are also pretty good, and I have to say the animation is for the most part very expressive and creative.

Here is hoping they don't drop the ball come the next season.
