Okay, sounds great.  But my telnet program says it can't connect directly
to a port (as in 128.2.254.5 2323) and I see "login:" ... Now what?

It must have been "settled" during the last two months, during which time
I haven't been able to read the news.  :-(

However:  first of all, it *is* called a Looniversity.  That rhymes with
"college."

Second, prior to "Buster's Guide to Dating," Babs says, "College?!" and a
backdrop of Acme Loo backs up her word.

Thirdly, the theme song states that they're earning a degree.

   Which episodes?  And specifically, which scenes?  Kennedy farms out a
good deal of their animation, and StarToons is one of the studios they 
use.

   I <think> I can tell the difference between studios (I once tore
apart 'Buster and the Wolverine' on the net)  and the K bits I like are
awfully StarToony - the ones that come to mind are the Faculty Meeting
Scene (Babs Goes Nuts) from HONEY, and the Rescue Scene (BUGS Goes Nuts)
from WHO BOPPED BUGS BUNNY?
   K can be really lousy at animating the Looney Tunes guys - the 'mentor'
scenes at the top of HONEY are kinda awful.  'Specially that routine
Bugs and Buster do.

   I've got oodles more.  R.A. Jung thinks I'm a loony tho.  (I suppose 
the amount of watching and re-watching Kennedy shows it takes to notice
such things does question my judgement :)

   HENNY YOUNGMAN DAY was kind of a letdown.  The Youngman bumpers looked
good, though.  I especially liked Buster slamming his head on the desk, 
and Furrball's question-mark tail.[


   Woo!  My first post in ages!  Anyway, I feel like typing more, so I'll
spout off on my favorite topic:

   HOW TO SPOT ANIMATION STUDIOS (or at least distinguish StarToons).

Eyes:  Kennedy draws flat, narrow (side-to-side), widely-spaced eyes that 
  are 'butterflied' out in a V-shape.  ST draws large, rounded eyes.

Height:  K toons are short and cute.  ST toons are tall and lanky, especially
  Plucky, who has a more rounded head and a short bill.  

Arms: K does regular cartoon arms with big puffy hands.  ST draws Babs'
  hands small and delicate (cf the Pep Rally in THE ACME BOWL, as opposed
  to the actual game cheers).

Movement:  K toons bounce and wiggle and shuffle.  ST toons stand on tiptoe
  a lot.

  MUCH better! Have Buster, Plucky, and Hamton be the Beach Boys, singing at
the beach (natch). A bikini-clad Babs chases after them throughout the song,
as they mockingly sing it and dodge her all over your usual beachside
attractions (under the surf, in a dune, on the wharf amusement park, etc.).
Slapstick, Babs-fan-inside-joke, good music, and quality TMS animation...

Whole episodes: 1.
However, Startoons has done maybe a dozen other episodes in part.  This
is because they are freelance and are often hired by Kennedy.  Today's
show (Acme Bowl) is an excellent example.  Most of the pep rally was
Startoons, for example.

I thought "Gang Busters" was excellent.  Giving it such lousy animation,
especially for the third act, was a travesty, IMHO.    OTOH I have to credit
Kennedy (if it was indeed them;  one never can tell) for the very start
of the third act, with Buster donning his gloves and leather jacket.  The
floodlight effect was perfect.

If you're not sure it's Kennedy ... then it's probably someone hired by Kennedy.
Remember, they can do that.  I've noticed Fil-Cartoons and Freelance Ltd. 
appearing with Kennedy in the TTA credits;  while neither of these is TMS,
they're both decent enough to outdo Kennedy and explain you observations.
(I think they might also be responsible for the parts of "Buster and the
Wolverine" that appear to be neither Kennedy nor Startoons.)

  Hasn't Mary's voice been done by different people in different episodes?

  (Rob rummages through his on-line copy of the TTA credits index [thanx
Synth!])

  Here we go. FURRBALL FOLLIES had "Cindy McGee" credited for Mary's voice.
I can't find any other entry for Mary in the credits; she's appeared in other
episodes, but if the voice was done by Cree Summer, that would probably be
listed as "Elmyra" instead of "Mary Melody". In any event, there's definite
proof that more than one person has done Mary before.

  Chicago, right?

  Officially, only HENNY YOUNGMAN day has Startoons credited. It's generally
believed, though, that Kennedy used to license some of their TTA work to
other animation firms, including Startoons. ST probably has done some work on
some of those first-season Kennedy episodes.

  I believe the semi-official word is that Warner Animation didn't like their
art. When the "Kennedy got dropped" news was first reported, someone (I think)
forwarded a message from CompuServe about it, where someone at Warners was
quoted as saying that Kennedy was being dropped because WB disliked the
Kennedy style (the original poster was a Kennedy fan). The Warner rep cited
the same reasons many Kennedy-haters cited: the shuffling feet, cigar-chewing
mouths, excessive bouncing/stretching. Unless someone from Warner Animation
wants to enlighten us officially, this is the closest we have to "fact".
