"Tiny Toons Looniversity" Series Talkback (Spoilers)

[Fone Bone]

I'll do a review for it later but for now I want a safe place for people to discuss the series without spoiling people in the news thread. What are your in-depth opinions so far?

 

[Silverstar]

I'm going to try to avoid spoilers here, also, I've only seen five episodes so far; instead I'll just give my general thoughts on the show and the characters as a whole.

First, the whole "Buster and Babs are related now" thing: I don't know if opinions on this have changed now that TTL has debuted, but I remember when this was first announced a lot of people (including some folks here) were seriously up in arms about B&B being reclassified as twins. Me? I had and still have absolutely no problem with this whatsoever. As long as we're keeping it 100, I'll confess that I felt the Buster/Babs shipping moments were among the weakest elements of Tiny Toon Adventures; their 'romance' always felt forced to me; to me Babs and Buster always acted more like siblings anyway, so making the two of them twins wasn't that big a stretch. I actually related to how the Bunnies felt in the first episode when they found out they were being placed into separate dorms; that's how Goldstar and I felt in middle school when we were put into separate homerooms for the first time.

Sweetie Bird being upgraded to the fifth member of the core group: again, some people may have a problem with this, but I'm not one of those people. They had to give Babs a roommate, and while sure, they could've gone with Fifi or Shirley, they probably wanted a more popular Looney Tune equivalent and Tweety, while your mileage may vary on the character, is one of THE most popular Looney Tunes, so I can see whey they went with her. The main thing I had to get used to was Candi Milo not providing Sweetie's voice, but since they're going for a noticeably different characterization here, I see why they chose to recast. After the first two episodes I got used to the new voice.

(Speaking of Fifi and Shirley, they're still on the show, but redesigned--particularly Shirley--and Fifi is notably less sexualized here. I'm sure that annoys some fans, but again, not me. I was OK with Shirley's new design as well, but I do one small nitpick: her voice. It's not bad, it fits the character, but Shirley's new voice is so breathy now and she talks so fast I don't always pick up what's she's saying. Hopefully that'll change as I get more used to the new voice.)

Another thing I like about TTL is that the Tiny Toons aren't quite so joined at the hip to their Looney Tunes equivalents. Yeah, they're still basically kid (or young adult in this case) versions of the Looney Tunes, but here they seem to be trying to give them more their own identities rather than them just being Mini-Me's of their adult counterparts. The Tiny Toons don't even have their respective Looney Tunes counterparts as mentors here; the mentor thing so far has only been brought up in one episode, where

Spoiler

Bugs applies to have a mentor figuring he's going to be a lock for Bugs, only for his mentor to turn out to be Merlin the Magic Mouse*; Bugs even says straight-up that he doesn't mentor, how he's swamped apart from ski season and his usual wascally wabbit antics, so don't expect that shtick to be reprised here.

*Speaking of Merlin, not only is that a deep cut, but it speaks to a greater regarding Warner Bros. in general. It would've been too, too easy to just have Buster rag on Merlin the whole episode, saying how lame and not famous he is, but WB for all their faults, one thing they don't do is just dump on their older, more obscure characters. The Seven Arts make an easy target (as in "Ha-Ha! Look how cheap and dumb those cartoons were!") but I'm actually they chose to instead go high: Buster at first thinks he's gotten the booby prize, but over the course of the episode he grows to appreciate, even admire Merlin, so that was nice.

I'm not sure whose idea it was to give Hamton a Southern accent, but again, this wasn't a deal-breaker for me; I got used to it after a couple of episodes. Also the show has made it clear that

Spoiler

Hamton's calling is to help people rather than making them laugh; he clearly aspires to be a doctor or a therapist, but he's stuck with the stigma of his mom being a legendary comedienne. This will probably be touched upon more directly in a later episode.

Finally, hard to believe that's a woman voicing Dizzy Devil!

-Overall, while I still don't think a Tiny Toons reboot was 100% necessary, this was much better than I thought it would be. I'll probably binge the remaining five episodes tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Daikun]

I just watched the first 3 episodes today, and I think it's great so far! It's not like Animaniacs 2020 where it's just more of the same; TTL stands out as a completely different beast from its predecessor. Everyone's character and personality has been completely revamped, which leads to some interesting dynamics among the students and mentors. I like Buster and Plucky's rivalry and how it contrasts with Babs and Sweetie clicking right away, and I like how Hamton is the mediator for all of the students' problems. (Also, Furrball has a voice now.)

The biggest difference between this show and TTA is the change in scope. It's in the title: the main focus of the show is the Looniversity itself. It's not an anthology spread across Acme Acres like the old series. This new series also consists of one half-hour story per episode, not the three-short format with wraparounds like before. They also seem to avoid making real-world references. Remember when TTA made references to things like George Bush Sr., The Cosby Show, and MTV? That's gone here, likely to avoid quickly dating itself.

Rather than trying to replicate what worked in the 90s like Animaniacs did, this show threw out the rulebook for the old series altogether, and I'm glad they're taking these characters in a new direction.

 

[Frontier]

The Buster and Babs thing just weirds me out because I never really felt like they needed to be siblings? Even if you ship them. Wasn't the "no relation" joke a running gag for them too...

 

[Petran Markou]

One issue I find with the series, aside from the less experienced voice actors, is the chemistry.
Way too much reshuffling with questionable results.
Changes in script were expected too. Though in the OG it was surprisingly Fifi who was the anti-patriarchy figure. Here they relegated her to a background character and changed her nationality too.

As for the siblings relation, in the first episode I felt a little awkward how they made Babs and Buster obsessed with each other because of their siblings love. But after that they found friends and hardly mentioned their siblings relations. So what was the point of turning them to siblings for that matter if they were not going to use it anymore? Just for difference's sake? Old relation would have worked just as well.

To continue the comparison: granted, original series did not have that many good episodes or good animation either and in fact I would not recommed it to newcomers anymore aside from the 1992 movie, but at least it was carried by the experienced voice actors and the music, which saved even the most mediocre episodes.

Also the succession of full length episodes by short segments episodes or vice versa, guaranteed some variety.

The highlight and part of the identity of the OG series was the musical score, in tune with the animation like the classic Looney Tunes. This peaked in the Summer Vacation movie. Which is a marvel if you consider that aside from TMS, most of the other studios animation left a lot to be desired for such a quality and overbudget musical score. This also includes OG Animaniacs.
But here it is missing altogether. Bland and forgetable non-orchestral music. Side characters are soulless even when they speak. OG TT had some quality voice acting even in short segments and character appearances.

But the biggest drawback is the animation and character reactions. Unfortunately with the current transition, everyone, including WB and Disney, opt for a style that is totally strange and out of place to their decades old references and traditions. As if CN and Nicktoons suddenly swallowed everyone.

Most classic series of the 80s-90s were created with their classic full and short length movies as references.
But this does not feel like classic WB, not even old Tiny Toons at all.

Recently I fansubbed the Vacation movie and was watching and rewatching as a result the same scenes by TMS countless times. Which is basically Looney Tunes with Japanese anime flavour.

Cant go back to Looniversity after this.

 

[pallas]

So what was the point of turning them to siblings for that matter if they were not going to use it anymore?

I don't know but the co- showrunner said "“I think maybe a younger audience doesn’t want to see cartoons making out,"link: They’re Tiny, They’re Toony, They’re Packing Off to Uni

 

[Goldstar!]

As for the siblings relation, in the first episode I felt a little awkward how they made Babs and Buster obsessed with each other because of their siblings love. But after that they found friends and hardly mentioned their siblings relations. So what was the point of turning them to siblings for that matter if they were not going to use it anymore? Just for difference's sake? Old relation would have worked just as well.

The Babs and Buster being siblings' thing is such a non-issue. The flirtation moments between Buster and Babs were so few and far between that it hardly mattered at all. To be honest, I never really bought Babs and Buster as a couple, even back then. Granted, my opinion is somewhat biased since I've never been a "shipper", but I don't care if a pair of toon animals get together. At all. Buster and Babs were basically a split of Bugs Bunny anyway (remember that Lola wouldn't make her debut until Space Jam, which premiered in 1996, so Babs was not based on Lola, as some fans believe). Before now, I didn't even realize that the "no relation" joke was so popular with TTA fans. Frankly, I can live without it.

Also, Babs and Buster being twins does come up again in episode #8, where the Bunnies get a call from their mother, who unlike in the previous series, has a face. On Tiny Toon Adventures, Babs had a mother, a father and dozens of brothers and sisters. We knew absolutely nothing about Buster's family life. His family was never seen or even referred to. Here, the Bunny Twins have a single mother and around 84 siblings, according to their mom.

 

[SweetShop209]

So, I've only seen the first 2 episodes (I like taking my time when watching something), but I think this is a good start. Unlike the Animaniacs revival (which yes, is very clearly a revival despite its acknowledgements of being a reboot), this is very much trying to be its own thing. Your mileage varies, but at least the show is committed to these changes, particularly with the half hour format and emphasizing college life more. I do find it interesting how the Tiny Toons have new voice actors while the regular Looney Tunes are still mostly played by the same voice actors.

 

[Classic Speedy]

Now that I've watched four episodes, some random thoughts:

-Good reworking of the theme song, and the fast-paced visuals accompany it well.

-As I mentioned already, I love Sweetie's makeover. So much better than just being a naked pink bird. Also like that they gave her unique quirks that she didn't have in the original show, like being a messy roommate.

-Hamton as mediator is to Buster and Plucky makes sense. I still don't know why they gave him a Southern accent though, especially since his mother doesn't have one.

-Much as I love that they kept Plucky's egotistical/competitive personality in this new series, David Errigo Jr., try as he might, can't compete with the late Joe Alaskey.

-I also mentioned I'm not a fan of Babs so far. One of her big strengths in the original show was the multitude of impressions she did. That talent is absent here, at least so far. Instead, her biggest quirk is that she's OCD with organization? That's... not nearly as fun.

-Love Granny as the principal. It makes total sense due to her seniority, and I love the twist that she's a badass and secretly ripped.

-Merlin the Magic Mouse... sounds nothing like W.C. Fields in this incarnation. I guess they didn't bother, since kids today wouldn't get the reference?

-Snipple delivers once again on the animation. They're continuously proving why they're currently one of my favorite overseas studios. It does feel a little strange not having the variety of animation styles like the old series had, but to be honest that practice is part of a bygone era when they had to use a lot of different studios to reach that 65 episodes.

-Buster and Babs as twin siblings... here's the thing. It's an unnecessary change because after the first episode, it's not really touched upon after that (at least what I've watched so far). Like, if they had them not as twin siblings but as best friends but split them up, the plot of the first episode would've largely remained the same.

-The more consistent setting of the University is a mixed bag- it gives more continuity to things but I do miss the varied settings that the old series had. Not every episode of TTA took place at ACME Loo, in other words.

-Music's okay. It doesn't hold a candle to the crew that did the music for TTA and Animaniacs, but it is serviceable.

So, definitely some pros and cons. At least it's not all cons like I was fearing. More thoughts if I think of them as I continue.

Before now, I didn't even realize that the "no relation" joke was so popular with TTA fans. Frankly, I can live without it.

I think Babs was more based on the rather forgotten Daisy Lou because in the finale of Hare Splitter they both go loony, something rare for a female cartoon character of that era.

 

[Goldstar!]

I'm not seeing it. Daisy Lou was basically a fiil-in-the-blank secondary girlfriend/love interest. To suggest that Daisy Lou even had a character is being generous.

A more likely scenario, I think, would be if Babs was inspired by Honey Bunny from the old Bugs Bunny/Looney Tunes comic books. Honey Bunny was alternately Bugs' love interest or rival, depending on the situation. Honey was going to make her on-screen debut on Space Jam, but WB execs thought that she looked like Bugs in drag, so she was redesigned and eventually renamed as the Lola Bunny that we know today.

Wikipedia claims Buster is based on Chuck Jones Bugs Bunny and Babs is based on Bob Clampett Bugs Bunny.

I have no idea if Wikipedia is correct or if there's even a real difference between how either director did Bugs Bunny?

I refer more to the character archetype, even in early stages. Similarly like Suzanne with Sylvester was an early archetype for Elmyra with Furball.

 

[Goldstar!]

I have no idea if Wikipedia is correct or if there's even a real difference between how either director did Bugs Bunny?

Each of the Warner Termite Terrace directors had their own takes on the characters. In regard to the above statement, I can't say whether or not that's actually true, just that I've personally never heard that. I just know that Babs is Bugs' wilder side, while Buster is his cooler side. At least that was the case initially.

I refer more to the character archetype, even in early stages. Similarly like Suzanne with Sylvester was an early archetype for Elmyra with Furball.

That would be the short "A Kiddie's Kitty" (1995, directed by Friz Freleng), and while there are 1 or 2 similarities between Suzanne and Elmyra, I wouldn't say that the 2 characters were similar enough for anyone to claim that the former inspired the latter. It certainly wasn't a direct inspiration.

I still contend that Daisy Lou wasn't developed nearly enough as a character for me to think that Babs was based on her in any way. There's nothing to Daisy Lou beyond "girlfriend archetype".

 

[Fone Bone]

Tiny Toons Looniversity "Freshman Orientoontion"

I heard good things about this. I heard the show was good and that it was better than the Animaniacs relaunch.

It's only the first episode but so far I don't think either thing is true. At least not yet.

The original Tiny Toons had bad and hackneyed writing too, and I viewed the show as a cynic instead of a fan. But the truth is even if the quality was not up to my personal standards back then, it was actually average to above average to other cartoons of the era. This being not any cleverer 30 years later is not great.

Also, I understand the new Animaniacs was polarizing. But for me, it was still funny, particularly the Pinky and the Brain stuff. Now this IS the first episode and there are 9 to go. But I didn't laugh once. If I do in the upcoming episodes I'll note whenever it happens. Best case scenario is I get used to the show enough that laughing at it becomes routine instead of something worth noting. But I'm not impressed yet. **1/2.

Tiny Toons Looniversity "Give Pizza A Chance"

Second episode thoughts: I didn't like anything during it and I didn't laugh once. The second either of those things changes in an upcoming episode, you guys will be the first to know. I swear. **.

Tiny Toons Looniversity "Extra, So Extra"

I could spend every review for this show saying "I don't dig this," but where would be the fun in that?

I think what interests me at this point is why the reception has been favorable when I dislike it so much. I have some theories. Tell me if they sound crazy.

Despite the fact that I don't think the show is funny or well-written, I suspect the fact that it contains a certain level of heart and sincerity is something people find a bit refreshing, especially for a Looney Tunes-related project. I DID like the Animaniacs relaunch, but the truth is it WAS sour as hell. And while I will argue it was funnier and better written than the original series, in comparison many of the cultural critiques felt comparatively toothless. It was understandable in these hyperpartisan times, but I think the old show, as obvious as its jokes often were, took brave stands a LOT more often. Granted, not in the subtlest of ways but it felt a LOT more antiauthoritarian than the relaunch.

The Tiny Toons reboots similar lacks the edge of the original series, but instead of it feeling blunted, perhaps viewers who like it like it because it lacks the cynicism of most Looney Tunes projects. I don't think it's funny and I find the dialogue painful at best. But maybe it's getting a good reception for being a feel-good project in a franchise that famously always made you feel bad. Looney Tunes Cartoons were famously slavish to both the premises and tone of the original shorts, and they were famously hated anyways. Some people sniffed they simply hadn't caught lightning in a bottle the second time. I will argue the problem may have been modern audiences reject humor that routinely cruel. Maybe that's why this show is something people like.

While I could take or leave Looney Tunes Cartoons, I did enjoy the cynicism of the new Animaniacs. But I'm questioning if that's the reason people loved the original Animaniacs or not. Probably not. It might have been the catharsis of the Warners violently fighting back against the authority figures they did. I feel a lot more of their enemies were righteous for them to torture back then. Do I think the show was probably sloppily and lazily-written back in the day? "Goodfeathers" says yes. But while the relaunch sort of focused on bad vibes, the original focused on good ones. Maybe that's why people like THIS show.

I don't. It's not because I'm pickier than y'all, or dislike sincerity (I actually love it). I'm just not feeling that sincerity yet. And maybe that was why I never connected with the old show either. I felt a lot of both the scenarios and premises felt forced. And it still kinda does.

I think the reason I like the new Animaniacs and not this is that while Animaniacs feels a bit toned down from the original as far as wacky and broad humor goes, the comedy is more observational, and the performances by the classic cast are far more nuanced. That's what I respond to. The fact that this show is exactly as loud, dumb, and obnoxious as the original is not winning it any points in my book. Comedy evolves. By necessity. This being as dumb and badly written as 1990 standards is not a selling point.

I remember there was an episode of Tiny Toons written by a group of ten-year-old girls. They sent in the script to the studio via snail mail, and Spielberg excitedly greenlit it because it was exactly as good as everything else. They believed the girls deserved praise for that, and maybe on some level they did. But the original show also deserves shade for being routinely sophomorically-written and juvenile enough that a group of ten years olds can randomly write a script and you can't tell the difference. It's definitely a compliment to those kids. And damning to the writers of the original series.

My Gilda And Meek comics of the era were better written than Tiny Toons or Darkwing Duck. My friends thought so and I agreed. And they will never see the light of day again because they STILL suck ass and embarrass the hell out of me in hindsight. "Better than Tiny Toons" should not be the freaking bar. The fact that this reboot isn't even aware the bar exists is troubling as hell.

I will say this (and this goes for Hulu's Animaniacs too): The animation and character designs look great. Why is it both of those comeback cartoons have more recognizably Looney Tunes-style character designs and animation than Looney Tunes Cartoons ever did? Whatever else the show is, it's great to look at. **1/2.

Tiny Toons Looniversity "Tooney Ball Lights"

Still disliking things. Really, despite my theories in the last review, I'm STILL a little surprised people like this.

I do like that Daffy appears to be "Mine! Mine!" Daffy instead of "Woo hoo! Woo hoo!" Daffy. Selfish Daffy is not just the one I grew up with, but was the one in my favorite Looney Tunes TV projects over the years like Duck Dodgers and The Looney Tunes Show. I thought both Wabbit and Looney Tunes Cartoons resurrecting the loony Daffy was a strange choice I didn't agree with.

A kind and understanding Foghorn Leghorn however is that specific guy being written out of character. Full stop.

The original Looney Tunes cast has a bigger role on this show than they did on the original. Back then they were essentially cameos, that eventually faded into the background altogether. They are woven into the fabric of the entire reboot.

I liked the animation on Hamton's flying dream. I also weirdly like Shirley. Maybe because her voice doesn't sound specifically like a cartoon character, which is a bit refreshing.

I will call b.s. on the premise now. Buster used to be in high school? The cast are all college-age students? Wouldn't that make them freaking adults? It's a Looniversity because that's the correct pun. But you want to suggest "Tiny Toons" are actually young adults, I'mma call b.s. on ya.

This is totally not my jam. I should stop now. You'd probably thank me. Which is probably why I'm not stopping. How DARE you thank me for being sensible?!?! NEVER!!! **.

Tiny Toons Looniversity "Save The Loo Bru"

First impressions:

1. I will be very surprised if people who like the show actually like this episode. It is a special level of sucky.

2. The episode is so damn bad I'm embarrassed people like the show to begin with. Also, get offa my lawn.

When Bugs takes off the dress at the beginning to the class' "shock" and delight as they wildly applaud his "trick" I was like, "Crap like this is why I hated the old show." It wouldn't just venerate the classic Looney Tunes bits. It would venerate the crappy stuff as if it were an equal level of genius as the high points. No. No. And the bit at the end nightclub? This is why we shouldn't do this. 0.

Tiny Toons Looniversity "Prank You Very Much"

Stupid, boring, and badly written! Trifecta!

I'll tell you though, I liked the gag of when Plucky is talking about six weeks he holds up six fingers on one hand. Now it didn't actually make me laugh. But I liked it. **.

Tiny Toons Looniversity "General HOGspital"

Considering the premise, it's damning I didn't laugh once. And 7 episodes in, I still haven't laughed at ANYTHING.

I will not be back for season 2. *.

Tiny Toons Looniversity "Souffle, Girl Hey"

The irony is not lost on me that on a show that supposedly puts such a high premium on laughter, they brought back the least funny version of Lola.

I like that Granny has Plucky down as "Annoying Duck" in her caller ID.

Cool Cat was never a good character, and he was barely used here. Chillest Cat was quite lame, and a keen insight on what middle-aged writers erroneously believe coolness is. I mean, after Plucky's pathetic meltdown, the idea that the guy would praise the school for its friendship and authenticity isn't just a poorly written cliche. It's legit uncool.

Michigan J Frog is wasted, but he could have a bigger role later on. Since this is the only season I'm watching, I probably won't get to see it. *1/2.

Tiny Toons Looniversity "Tears Of A Clone"

A lot apparently happened in this episode. Nothing that I cared about. Not good. *.

Tiny Toons Looniversity "The Show Must Hop On"

And I'm out. Good time for me to leave. I was finding things tiresome. I don't often quit shows I start but I don't think I'd be able to offer anything constructive in further reviews.

I'm glad the show is resonating for other people. That's good you all like it. For me, I didn't laugh once during ten episodes. And I feel this is a good place to check out. *.

You sound like me after I watched Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain on Kids' WB! After watching the first 3 episodes and not hearing even 1 good joke, I walked away from that train wreck and never looked back.

Tiny Toons Looniveristy is not Tiny Toon Adventures. It's a different series that takes place in an alternate universe in which TTA never happened. Some people are going to like that, and some people aren't. Myself? I'm OK with it, for the most part. TTL didn't change my life, but I don't hate it. I'll say this much: TTL is definitely more of a reboot than Animaniacs 2020 was. The new A! was clearly a revival series despite it being promoted as a reboot (and it barely qualified as a revival, given that only 2 of the recurring segments were brought back).

Ten episodes was more than fair, no?

 

[Goldstar!]

Ten episodes was more than fair, no?

Definitely. I have a 3-episode rule: if a show doesn't pull me in after 3 episodes, I'm done.

Regarding Daffy Duck: Agree to disagree. I'm OK with Daffy being a little egotistical and self centered, as long as he doesn't cross over into being a villain. And he should never stop being a lunatic. One of the best depictions of Daffy that I've seen recently is the one on Bugs Bunny Builders, of all places.

 

[Fone Bone]

I am more liberal there and allow shows time to build and grow. I just sensed and got nothing from this so I'm checking out early.

 

[Silverstar]

Looney Tunes Cartoons were famously slavish to both the premises and tone of the original shorts, and they were famously hated anyways.

People hated Looney Tunes Cartoons? Who were these people?? I enjoyed LTC myself. They weren't perfect, they stuck too close to the basic formulas and not all of them landed, but I thought the pros outweighed the cons.

I will call b.s. on the premise now. Buster used to be in high school? The cast are all college-age students? Wouldn't that make them freaking adults? It's a Looniversity because that's the correct pun. But you want to suggest "Tiny Toons" are actually young adults, I'mma call b.s. on ya.

Now I thought Tiny Toons Looniversity was OK (not earth-shattering, just OK) but I can't lie, this is a VERY good point.
