Summary: childhood memories

Customer Rating:
Summary: A must-have for people who remember Tiny Toons
Comment: I enjoyed Tiny Toons very much when I was a kid, and I enjoy it just as much now that I'm in my twenties. It's very funny (complete with classic cartoon gags and breaking-the-fourth-wall humor) and very creative (the first episode, for example, shows Buster and Babs designing the cartoon themselves). If you have children, I recommend this cartoon to them; it's much better than the neutered, saccharine garbage that is the modern cartoon.
I don't know what the reviewer who said, "Dirt, weak color and a low-quality transfer make this really hard to watch," and gave it only three stars, was talking about. The pictures are great. Don't listen to this person. If you enjoyed this cartoon as a kid, there is no reason not to buy it.

Summary: tiny toons before homework
Comment: I remember when this cartoon used to come on in the afternoons. I would rush home from school and catch every episode before doing my homework. Everything is exactly as I remembered. I definitely recommend this to everyone who still has love for toons.
Customer Rating:
Summary: They're tiny, they're toony, they're all a little loony...but we love 'em :)
Comment: I've been really happy with this collection and would highly recomend it for familys. Also, this item is a must-have for any fans of Tiny Toon Adventures. I think the studio is testing the marketability of this series, so hopefully more seasons will follow.

Summary: The beginning of WB silver age animation, with rough patches
Comment: I remember when this series first came out on weekday afternoons. I enjoyed it immensely and found lots of laughs and fun stories. Some of the humor is definitely dated to the early 90s, the culture and personalities of the day, but I think children, youths and adults can still find plenty to enjoy about it. This series was essentially the beginning of a string of animated hits from Warner Brothers during the 90s television animation revival, roughly coinciding with Disney's launch of a high-quality series of television animated programs. The writing and music were great, with some stories and characters more memorable than others. This first volume features some of the most classic episodes that I remember best and most fondly.
However, the transfers on this set are rather poor. Much poorer than those of Pinky and the Brain and Animaniacs volumes. They look like transfers from old syndication tapes, the picture being somewhat soft.
Also, during this early period WB was farming out the animation work all over the world. Most of the studios did good to very good work animating these programs. Unfortunately one studio seemed to get a disproportionate amount of the work during these early days and did an absolutely terrible job. Kennedy Cartoons animated and for all intents and purposes ruined large portions of these cartoons and even whole episodes. How can I describe how unappealing their animation was? Basically the guilty parties should be hunted down and punished. How in the world they could receive the model sheets, do their sorry excuse for animation, look at the two in comparison and not see that their product looked like absolute garbage is beyond me. The characters are consistently off model, with stupid "cigar-chewing" mouths, goofy hand posture, shuffling feet, look like they're squatting on the floor all the time, and bouncing incessantly. To see this worthless junk animated over the lavishly painted backgrounds of this series is a bit disconcerting. It's even more egregious, almost criminal, when Kennedy got their dirty mitts on classic characters like Elmer and Bugs for short segments, such as in "Fields of Honey". I remember tuning in for re-runs of this show after school. If I saw it was one of the episodes that looked like trash I'd just turn it off.
Mercifully Warner Bros got fed up with the crap Kennedy consistently produced and finally gave them the boot. Later seasons and later WB series didn't suffer the indignity of being animated by those no-talent hacks. Here's hoping for future volumes of this series that will feature better animated episodes on the whole and have even more fun memories.
