Tiny Toons Looniversity

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.

Its about a school for cartoons aspiring to be like the Looney Tunes. The main characters are Buster and Babs Bunny. In this verison they are sibblings instead of best friends who are in love with each other. That is a very creepy change. Just like the original, it tries too hard to be funny. Normally I like physical humor but this ain't it. The biggest issue with this show is it likes to bombard the audience with cliches. Their idea of a joke is droping an anvil on someone when we have seen that type of joke a billion times. When Looney Tunes did those types of jokes back in the day they were more fresh. If you want a funny newer CN show with lots of physical gags turn on Gumball.

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?

Lemme just say, I'm a sucker for classic cartoons of my childhood and even at age 29, I can say I watched the OG Tiny Toons still to this day. When i first heard about the reboot, I was skeptical of it due to the main change of Buster and Babs Bunny being siblings but I gave it a chance, watched an episode and I can safely say they still got it despite the changes. Some parts I feel like somethings missing... I guess its the slapstick comedy style? Its hard to tell but the show itself definitely holds up well. You cant kill a classic but you can revive nostalgia. Its a great show overall. Love it.

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.
