Tiny Toons Looniversity
Parent and Kid Reviews
Based on 2 parent reviews
What's the Story?
Earnest twins Babs and Buster Bunny, spunky and supportive Sweetie Bird, overconfident Plucky Duck, and anxious Hampton J. Pig are all freshmen at Acme Looniversity. They're there to learn how to be funny, and their professors are none other than legendary pranksters Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Taz. The dean? Why, spry old Granny, of course. Even though they're at a special school, the crew still has to deal with the usual college problems: managing roommate situations, parental pressures, and knowing when to step out of their comfort zones.
Is It Any Good?
This zippy reboot stands on its own, though it's full of nostalgia and love for its classic characters. Tiny Toons Looniversity also adds some warmth to these often antagonistic animals without sacrificing any comedy. It's not quite as packed with quips and zingers as it could be, but each character gets their share of the jokes. The hijinks are fast-paced, but not too frenetic, making this a solid choice for kids and nostalgic parents alike.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
