Fleeing from town to town, switching identities and toiling at countless jobs fuels Kimble’s obsession to catch the real killer – a one-armed man he saw leaving the scene of the crime.

Like most adult animation fans, I find this to be cartoon blasphemy. Turning Bugs Bunny and company into intergalactic superheroes is a bad idea. That being said, all my kids loved watching this. Ah, the generation gap widens.

In Takers Keepers, Daffy soon discovers it’s not nice to steal someone else’s toy…especially if that someone is Taz! Too much of a good thing can be bad when Taz gobbles up way too much candy in Spinout. And is there any Shadow of a Doubt what shadows are after little Tweety sheds some light on the subject? Plus four more fun episodes – from babies’ playing in snow for the first time to Christmas in July – and four separate sing-along tunes to dance and play to!”
CS Comment:
I don’t know why, but “Baby Loony Tunes” seems a bit more acceptable than “Loonatics Unleashed.” Maybe it’s because they still act like their classic incarnations. In any case, the kiddies love ’em.
