Tiny Toons Looniversidade

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 feel like this show has a lot of potential. The art style is awesome, i absolutely love the way that all the characters and backgrounds are drawn. Also, I personally always tend to enjoy when these looney tunes reboots eliminate/limit the side character segments and focus on the main characters. That being said, the episodes i've watched so far just haven't been all that funny. A lot of the writing tends to fall flat. Some of the jokes are good but i'd be willing to say that at least half of them don't land. I think this reboot definitely has the potential to be pretty good but comedy-wise the writing needs to be improved on.

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.

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.
