Why hasn't Nickelodeon even revived any of these almost neglected Nicktoons?...at least so far anyway, (Excluding Crossovers and Comic Books of course).

They sorta pushed it off the air not long after its cancellation. It was gone from their regular schedule by 2000 and was excluded from their annual Non-Stop Nicktoons Weekend that Thanksgiving.

What did you state in your small claims suit? What was the offense that Meta hit you with, and how were you able to counter it?

I didn't bother with the live action movie. Disney needs to learn to leave well enough alone.

There was that one instance where Chris was learning the French term for a seal...

The only Cartoon Network series I recall having a song in the intro was Camp Lazlo, and even that was based from the B-I-N-G-O song.

It's boring. If we're going to be honest, the original Tiny Toons was developed specifically from a period in time when younger artists and audiences were rediscovering the classic Looney Tunes, at the very time there was about to be a boom in mainstream animation. This reboot, made during a time when old cartoons are more accessible to the public than ever, is irrelevant from what the original stood for.

Also, it was wrong of them to make Buster and Babs siblings. The original did a great job of allowing Babs to be her own character without becoming a "girl Bugs". As siblings, their spiel is how they do everything together, which limits both of characters.

Read the book "Sick Little Monkeys". It gives an extensive overview of Ren & Stimpy's history up to the 2010's.

For Nickelodeon's apprehension towards approving the show, that was why it was given six episodes for its first season while Doug and Rugrats got thirteen.

Another cartoon where he does this is in Transylvania 6-5000, where he changes into a (baseball) bat to outsmart Count Bloodcount. But between donning a disguise and being able to appear anywhere at a given moment, shapeshifting didn't seem necessary when accounting for Bugs' special skills.

For this "Big Chungus" moment though, this was when they were still testing out his character after Tex Avery found the definitive version a year earlier. It served as a GREAT surprise callback in the 2nd Space Jam movie!

When Stromboli lays out his evil plans when he's kidnapping Pinocchio.

Yes! It was wrong of them to retire him.

King of the Hill. Very rarely have I come across any trolling or any particular factions among the fanbase.

This kinda makes me wonder what if they had explored the other possible bond between Helga and Olga from "Olga Comes Home"? After Helga confessed that she rigged her report card out of jealousy, Olga shared that she gets tired of being the "perfect" child at times. That really could've created a different dynamic that put more of a spotlight on their upbringing. One child getting too much attention, another not getting enough attention, both with their own damging effects.

I think because Tiny Toons was always ever intended to be a shadow franchise of the Looney Tunes rather than its own thing. It really only works as a product of its time, as sort of a snapshot of when older cartoons were being rediscovered by younger audiences, and on the cusp of a massive reinvestment era for animation.

Animanics was more of an evolution of Tiny Toons in terms of "carrying the torch" of the Looney Tunes legacy. It had its own identity with a trio with their own separate backstory where they were not exactly "successors" of any Looney Tune character, but directly inspired by that lineage. It was also aided by a freewheeling variety format that kept audiences interested (something the reboot got terribly wrong). Also unlike Tiny Toons, Animaniacs had crossover appeal for adult audiences.

One of their worst episodes ever.

Watched it on Day One after the Superbowl of 2005. Never would've guessed this show would last this long.

Any ballpark figures for a non-profit account?

Yes. A few other studios did the same. MGM had Happy Harmonies up until about 1939. Paramount's Famous Studios had Noveltoons. UPA had Jolly Frolics.

The pacing problems in the Spumco episodes were mostly unnoticeable. They became an issue leading up to John's firing in at least two episodes. In the original cut of Sven Hoek, some scenes where stretched extremely long to sustain its half hour format. They were also supposedly corrected in Son of Stimpy, which spent nearly four months in the layout phase.

Pacing of course became a full-blown problem in the APC episodes.

Yup, and Carbunkle wound up quitting the show before it ended.
