Changes in attitudes and tone notwithstanding, the new character designs are not so different from the reworkings of the classic WB cartoon figures who taught the Tiny Toons. In fact, I'd say they appear a little closer to the Chuck Jones-era versions than those on "Tiny Toon Adventures." The complaints seem like knee-jerk stuff from people who need to rant about things. Where were they when the truly abominable "Loonatics" came along? Now THAT was worth skewering.
