Taz-Mania "The Dog The Turtle Story" Review

 


Looney Tunes for as long as the Looney Tunes brand has been going there have been various spin off media featuring popular Looney Tunes characters. With one of their most popular character Taz getting his very own spin off TV show in the nineties and so join me as I review the very first episode of the TV shoe Taz-Mania with the episode in question being called simply just "The Dog The Turtle Story" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is one day Taz finds a turtle that barks like a dog and must hide it from his family. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty rather weak with this episodes plot practically being very none existent.


Starring in this episode is voice acting legend Jim Cummings as Taz and voice acting legend Rob Paulsen as Dog The Turtle and Axl Gator. Also starring in this episode is the original Gomez Addams and the father of The Lord Of The Rings star Sean Astin John Astin as Bull Gator , Miriam Flynn as Jean , Debi Derryberry as Jake , Kellie Martin as Molly and voice acting legend Maurice LaMarche as Hugh.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Since the actors that you wxpect great performances from really do deliver on that front in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Wang Film Productions Company. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty average at best since the characters movements weren't that fluid and the backgrounds just looked rather dull and uninteresting not to mention very flat looking as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


For those of you that perhaps don't know this show aired on Fox Kids from September 7th 1991 and finished airing on May 22nd 1995. With the show having sixty five episodes with each of those episodes being split up into segments totalling a whopping 121 segments with this episode being I think the only episode of the show to tell one full story across a twenty minute running time.

This episode really didn't need to tell it's story as one full twenty episode since all it's doing is setting up the status quo for the series and that's it. Which really could have been done in the standerd elevent or ten minuet segment since there really was no need for this one story to last as long as it did heck even Taz's family don't get across there personalities all that well with the samethibg also being said for the side characters as well and that is something that should have been with this longer running time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I will admit that Dog turtle thing is kind of cute but just like with alot of this episode there's nothing Looney about it. The same thing can also rather shockingly be said for Taz who seems like a much more watered down version of the character since even tho he still acts like himself he's lost a bit of what it was that made him actually Looney in the first place.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and thirty nine seconds. Which yeah as I've just said this episode really didn't need to be that long at all since you very easily could have told this episodes storyline in eleven or ten minuets and by stretching this story to twenty minutes your making an already thinly drawn out storyline seem even thinner that what it already is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Since a few of this episodes jokes did get a chuckle out of me but this episode has alot more bad jokes then good jokes.


Overall this episode wasn't as good as it perhaps could have been which is a shame because the freaking of Animaniacs Tom Ruegger developed this show and all we got was this terrible first episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Looney Tunes fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
