Has Looney Tunes always been better than Tom and Jerry?
>>155436016No, the Tom and Jerry shorts of the 30s and 40s are way better than any Looney Tune short ever produced.
>>155436016pretty muchLT was the peak in its time
>>155436016I think LT benefits from having snappy dialogue. And the voices. The voices haven't changed in 90 years. LT, Scooby Doo, Popeye. That's how you know something is ingrained in the cultural zeigeist.
>>155436016Nah, Tom and Jerry was a master class of "show, don't tell" whereas Looney Tunes was written more like traditional comedy. They're both great but Tom and Jerry has an appeal where anyone of any age or language can love it.
>>155436016Yeah Tom and Jerry is just repetitive slapstick, very nice animation though
>>155436016Yes, but reminder that MGM was never "just" Tom And Jerry, esp. after Tex Avery came onboard.
Tom and Jerry can't carry a movie.
>>155436780and neither could Looney Tunes until "Coyote vs Acme"
>>155436016Tom and Jerry is harder to adapt to other concepts.
>>155436016Yes. But that's not a high bar to cross. Tom And Jerry fucking suck ass and always have.
