Why did the old guards at Looney Tunes (Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Walter Lantz, etc..) hate Tiny Toons and Animaniacs?This is what Chuck Jones had to say about them

JealousyChuck made absolute repetitive and mundane shit like his seasons of Tom & Jerry, Road Runner and then repeating the same 5 Bugs Bunny gags and then these guys come along and make something that can have substance beyond 7 mins

>>147164811Tom and Jerry is shit from the start and he elevated them.
>>147164749Imagine having your craft- your work at the peak of you and your friends' and peers' careers- be given such a poor homage (with the bulk of the work outsourced no less) You'd hate it too.

Not often you see two totally wrong opinions at odds with each other like this.
>>147164749Overused anvil gags and pop culture references. Aged like milk.
>>147164749No respect for their craft
>>147164749Script writers and not cartoonists.
>>147164749tiny toons was literally "the old looney tunes are old, they are now TEACHING the new looney tunes" and then those characters never appeared again.* Whether you like them or hate them, that's stupid.Though it did give us some neat rules about how like, cartoons only grow old if they're forgotten. but that episode was cowardly and refused to depict bosco and honey accurately.Animaniacs on the other hand was a brilliant followup to what Looney Tunes was about. You set up a simple scenario (weirdos annoy a square, a dog tries to save a baby, organized crime pigeons, etc) and let it play out.
>>147165278*Elmyra did appear one more time, but she only got into Acme Loo on the affirmative action scholarship for humans. Also that show sucked, and Steven just made that happen because he loved Elmyra so much.
>>147164884I'm almost convinced it's bots
>>147165234I’m sure the old LT veterans probably loved R&S a lot more.
>>147165042>pop culture referencesAnimaniacs and Tiny Toons were just Family Guy but with a higher budget.
>>147165746dunno, but i hear chuck jones very much loved disney's aladdin
>>147165234It was a script driven cartoon but still done by cartoonist.>ButIt's still a fucking cartoon. It doesn't matter if it falls out of line of John K's "rules". Whether its a GOOD cartoon is debatable.
>>147164749Pretty sure Jones was just a contrarian or had a touch of the 'tism.
>>147164749Zero soul
>>147165278If he hated them it was more likely because of the work not the concept
Chuck Jones was a notorious curmudgeon who hated everything. He was basically an older John K.
