We're heading back to the world of Acme Acres to explore a proper episode of the early '90s classic cartoon, Tiny Toon Adventures! And if you listened to our episode of What A Cartoon Movie! about the direct-to-video feature, you'll know that Plucky Duck is by far our favorite character. That seemed to be the opinion of both Warner Bros. and Fox, because in 1992 he got his own cynical Saturday morning spinoff that consisted of mostly recycled content. But the single original episode produced for The Plucky Duck Show remains one of TTA's finest outings, and stands as a fascinating look into the Hollywood hubbub of 1991. So join us as we explore the hilarious and lavishly animated exploits of Tiny Toons' wacky, egomaniac-y duck!

Almost ALL of the Taz-Mania episodes are on the Boomerang streaming service (better go there before HBO Max closes it down). A lot of it is NOT very good - strictly mediocre middle-of-the-road. Startoons did a few good-looking episodes, and of course the phenomenal opening (animated entirely by Jon McC. himself) that promised a dynamic, exciting show that this intentionally lower-budget show never delivered. (The whole point was that these cartoons had to cost a LOT cheaper than Tiny Toons, but still look good.) The show did have a few genuine classics like "Willie Wombat's Last Stand" with the jovial titular character getting into a caffeinated rage over 12 minutes in a waiting room, one episode with Stan Freberg as a classic unimaginative executive... Some of it is better than it has a right to be, being a blatant attempt to produce more content with the early '90s most merchandised character (Taz was only in five of the classic era shorts). But it's an example of how artist-run shows (in this case the very talented Art Vitello) can favor heavy-handed/talky/overwritten content. (It's literally Jim Cummings never shutting up as every other character.)

Just a correction: Eddie Fitzgerald was only layout on S2 of Ren & Stimpy. Deets are in Sick Little Monkeys.

Jenny is a dear friend, BTW, and extremely talented.

In regards to the “fire that other guy” line you guys think they just couldn’t say Micheal Keaton for some reason, but I had a different reading. If Plucky said “fire Micheal Keaton,” Tim would immediacy say “no you’re the Stunt Guy.” and it’s over.It’s funnier for Plucky to think he is the lead (and doesn’t know Keaton due to his ego) and then later be shocked to learn he isn’t

I loved those McDonald's toys Henry mentioned. I had Super Bugs and Taz as The Flash and sadly never got Daffy as Batman. It's the only Happy Meal miss I can think of that actually still somewhat haunts me today. I have on numerous occasions sat poised and ready to pounce on an eBay auction for a set, but have never pulled the trigger. They're cheap too, as are most Happy Meal toys because they must have made millions of each, and even intact store display cases are reasonably priced. If I had the space in my rec room I probably would grab one of those, but I already have a toy addiction consuming far too much space as-is.

Also was flattered the beginning was Bob bringing up my POV and coming around to it. Plucky probably is their strongest character because they ARE just doing a Daffy Duck for the '90s, but by making it a wholly separate entity, it doesn't feel disrespectful as a reprisal of Daffy would be.

Speaking of reused characters in the big film fight scene, the little bald man who yells "Stunt Duck" is the same little man from the draft board that chases Daffy Duck from 1945's Draftee Daffy (without the Fibber McGee "Happy Postman" voice, unfortunately) https://photos.app.goo.gl/K9ba9GUKfkECxWf88

Correction for the Tiny Toons history section: Spielberg did not come up with the idea for Back to the Future, that was ALL Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. Spielberg really did just help produce it.

I just watched this on Dailymotion and it had all the commercials left in including Kidz Bop 5 which puts this particular airing sometime in 2004.

I offer a slight correction about Alaskey's Plucky performance being 'just Daffy'. He mentioned in interviews once vocal choice that differentiates them is that Daffy has a frontal lisp (tongue trilling through the lips) while Plucky has a lateral lisp (a wet hiss from the back of the teeth). Great episode as always, I just wanted to alert you to something I myself never noticed until Alaskey pointed it out in an interview I'm sure you can still find on youtube.

A bit off-topic, but I'd love for you guys to do a What a Cartoon about Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue! It's some anti-drug crossover with Ghostbusters, Alvin and Chipmunks, Smurfs and a few others. It's available on youtube and I'm sure it's terrible.

I had that daffy batman McDonald's toy

I was sure that a few years ago Sean Young had suggested that Ridley Scott made a pass at her and her rejection was part of her career downturn and naturally this podcast reminded me of that. I went to see if I could find it, and luckily I did via reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/bladerunner/comments/7mqxkp/sean_young_aint_holding_back/). Given what we know about Hollywood in general in a post-Me Too era, I'm inclined to believe her, and regardless of Scott, I'm sure this kind of thing had a lot to do with her career tanking and her bizarre behaviour surrounding Catwoman (assuming, of course, that this wasn't her intentionally creating drama). I still enjoyed this Tiny Toons ep a lot, especially for it taking potshots at Tim Burton, but it really sucks how awful she was treated in media because of this stuff. And two years later she's the butt of that awful, awful transphobic "joke" in Ace Ventura. She deserved a lot better.
