This review is going to be short and sweet. I was born long after the the original looney toons was taken off of the air. I would spend my weekends comming home from pre-school and watching the golden collection of looney tunes that my mother had accumulated. Looney tunes shaped my style of comedy and made me the person who I am today. That being said, I have always searched for a modern alternative to looney tunes. I first found the animaniacs, it was great...but it was also off the air. Then later on I found the modern remake of looney tunes, and I absolutely hated it. It lacked all the charm and comedy that the original had. And then I remembered a vague old memory. I would remember sitting in my grnadma's house and watching "Tiny toons adventures: how I spent my summer". I couldn't remember much, just some specific scenes, the colors, and a certain...feeling I wouldn't be able to desribe if I wanted to. And then after that day at my grandmothers house, I went searching for the special movie that made me feel that way. I found it, and along with it the show "Tiny toons adventures". Rewatching the movie, I was unable to attain that feeling again, it must've been the subtle undertones that my childhood creativity had conjured up. But then I decided to watch the show, at first I was little off put by the idea of my childhood heroes now being mature professors, but I eventually came around. I realized that after all my searching, I had finally found a show that was able to give me the same joy and satisfaction that the originals had. Granted it was far from perfect, I can't imagine how many restrictions the directors were put under. It laked the certain creativity and brazenness of the originals, but it made up for that with it's attention to detail. Who would've that that dodo bird from one episode of the originals, would be important enough to have included in the opening theme song? Another great they thing did was creating new and innovative characters. They could've just as easily used a younger version the original characters, but by creating new ones they were able to avoid the high expectations of characters like Bugs bunny and Daffy duck. The show has a sense of pandering to young children, which I dislike, but I feel would've been an inevitability with the changing world. TLDR; tiny toons tried to follow up the original cartoons, succeeded in some parts, but failed in others. As far as looney tunes remakes go, you won't be able to find one that is more true to the originals, than "Tiny toons adventures".
