Tiny Toons: Looniversidad

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.

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 was a fan of the original, loved the art, jokes, could n't count the times my friends and family laughed and quoted the original.

I was excited to hear it was back, but boy, was I disappointed, the childish art, the change to the mythos Babs and Busters twins?

This is very disappointing that in this day and age with CG, and top notch art, we have to suffer this colouring book art, and terrible jokes.

Typical Max offerings for shows. I think i will go back to my streaming of the originals.

Hey, if this your jam, great. But as an old fan, this is a terrible mistake, lazy art, lazy writing.

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.

The comedy writing needs work; too cliché-y. It's mostly the boys are physical comedy and the girls go in a little deeper. Needs to be more random, less methodic. Feel like writers need to research more classic comedy and adapt that to the times. It's not about hitting certain marks to satisfy a checklist, but more about creating organic moments.

Aninarion is fine. Voices will take time getting used to since there are varying differences from the old one. I think the show has potential in creating iconic moments, but the writing has to be top priority, since it will be what people talk about the most.
