We are now less then a few short days away from the release of Tiny Toons Looniversity with the show set to premier it's first ten episodes this Friday on Max and the following day on Cartoon Network. As such you all just knew that I had to produce a tie in review and well I couldn't do the first episode of the original show as that's already been done and i've already done the movie so that only left me one of the episodes to review and so then join me as I review the episode that is a really very loose parody of the Star Wars franchise with the episode in question being called simply just "A Quack In The Quarks" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is when his show boating gets him kidnapped by aliens who want him to defeat an evil tyrant it's up to Babs , Buster and Hampton to rescue Plucky and save Planet X before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the 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 not that bad altho I will admit that this episodes was also very rather on the thin side of things as well but it was still a very rather entertaining and engaging plot as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is voice acting legend Joe Alaskey as Plucky Duck and the Director and voice acting legend Charlie Adler as Buster Bunny and Slate Guy. Also starring in this episode is voice acting legend Tress MacNeille as Babs Bunny , voice acting legend Don Messick as Hamton Pig ,voice acting legend Frank Welker as Chewcudda , Elder and a Computer , voice acting and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles legend Rob Paulsen as Frank , voice acting legend Jeff Bergman as Foghorn Leghorn and Duck Vader and Carol Kane as Ollie.
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 really good. Which really shouldn't be that much of a surprise as this episodes cast is made up of bunch of really good voice actors and actresses and it just goes to show that for this shows early run they always had really good acting in it with this episodes script being really good and so all the cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and boom a good performance will come out of them really naturally.
Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at AKOM Productions Co. 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 thought / felt that the actual animation thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes animation being more then up the already high standard of the shows quality of animation and heck i'd even go as far as to say that this episodes animation is movie quality as it's that good animation wise.
What I really loved is the fact that this film is loose parody of Star Wars with several of the shows main characters even dressing up like Star Wars characters. What would have made this parody even funnier was if the whole entire episode was just one big parody of a Star Wars movie think what Family Guy did but only better and funnier and heck you could even have the characters comment on the Star Wars fanbase as a whole and compare them to their own fanbase which given that this show is executive produced by Steven Spielberg that's something that they very easily could have done if they it's something that they really wanted to do.
I don't really like Plucky as the main character in this episode just because to me he's a character that's better suited for being a recurring character. As his personality makes him come across as being a really unlikable main character with him being very self involved so much so that it stops being funny and starts being annoying I get it he's meant to be the Tiny Toons version of Daffy Duck but even he wasn't always that selfish and that's something that should have been done with Plucky as while he is indeed a very funny character he's also a character that works best when he's not the main focus point of the episode.
This episode didn't just break the fourth wall it took a sledgehammer to it which was something that I really did like. As it makes sense in the world as the characters in Tiny Toon Adventures are all fully aware of the fact that they are all cartoon characters and heck even the shows first episode dealt with the characters being created ad so to me it makes sense that they would break the fourth wall and while not alot of the fourth wall breaks in this episode are actually funny they are pretty clever which does make them feel fresh and unique I just wish that they commented on the fact that Duck Vader s quite literally a rip off of Darth Vader.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and fifty two seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd for an episode of this show to have and Im will admit that this episode really does take full advantage of it's running time and while I would have liked it if this episode was a tad bit longer just so some of the guest characters could be fully fleshed out a bit if they did stretch this episode out even by just a couple of minuets then they'd be stretching an already thinly drawn story even thinner and I will admit that this episode does have some fairly solid pacing to it tho as well.
So now then as this is a comedy show 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. While this episode isn't as funny as the first episode was it was still a really funny episode that had a surprising adult joke which really did catch me of guard as it was a really funny joke that came out of nowhere and it's a joke that will go over alot of kids heads as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall Tiny Toons Looniversity has alot of live up and if the leaked episode of the shows fifth episode is anything to go by then we are in for one heck of a bumpy ride as we make our way back tom Acme Looniversity in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad thing that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from 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 Star Wars fandom wiki page , the official Tiny Toon Adventures 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 post being the official Tiny Toon Adventures fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the great freaking the official Tiny Toon Adventures fandom wiki page are all really fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as them all really being very fairly freaking high in definition.
