Bonkers

***Bonkers*** is an American animated action-adventure comedy television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animationthat first ran from 1993 to 1994 on both the syndicated programming block *The Disney Afternoon*.

## Why Its the Good Toon Cop

1. It mixes slapstick and surreal humor and action into one awesome package. In fact, the humor is a huge love-letter to classic Looney Tunes and Tex Avery cartoons. Think of it as Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures if they were made by Disney.
2. Bonkers was the character from the formerly show *Raw Toonage*.
3. Similiar to *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*, the series served as inspiration for both the characters and the setting.
4. The fight scenes are great and they have a great use of slapstick and surreal.
5. It is a hilarious, yet great throwback to cartoons from the Golden Age of American Animation. such as Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones, Walter Lantz, Max and Dave Fleischer, Ward Kimball, Hanna-Barbera, UPA, Robert McKimson, Ub Iwerks, Jay Ward, DePatie-Freleng, Terrytoons, Norman McCabe, Famous Studios, Arthur Davis, Frank Tashlin, Van Beuren and many others.
6. Beautiful animation that captures the sprit of Richard Williams, even if it's 90's animated series quality.
7. Memorable characters, such as Bonkers D. Bobcat, Lucky Piquel, Fall-Apart Rabbit, Miranda Wright and Toots.
8. Memorable villains, such as The Collector, Al Vermin, Flaps the Elephant and Wacky Weasel.
9. Bonkers, despite is similiar to Roger Rabbit, is a wacky, naive and positive lunatic cartoon character. similar to SpongeBob SquarePants, both the Warner siblings and Slappy Squirrel from Animaniacs, Bugs Bunny, Heckle and Jeckle, Daffy Duck, Woody Woodpecker, Screwy Squirrel, the Aracuan Bird, Tigger and many others.
10. Disney characters, as Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Darkwing Duck and Ludwig Von Drake makes appearances in the show.
11. Awesome but underratedtheme song.
12. Fun and enjoyable soundtrack that is compressed very well.
13. Impressive use of Tex Avery/Jim Tyer/Bob Clampett-inspired wild double takes. ( similar to Courage The Cowardly Dog, Animaniacs, Taz-Mania, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and others. )
14. Funny gags, slapstick comedies, awesome and underrated moments and interesting episodes.
15. Is rightly the most under-appraciated 90s Disney show, also before *Freakazoid*.

## Bad Qualities

1. Bonkers D. Bobcat was flanderized in the Miranda Wright episodes.
2. We never get to see what Toontown looked like in the show.
3. Miranda Wright episodes are overrated.
4. Out of all the Disney cartoon characters, Winnie The Pooh and his friends didn't appear on the show.
5. The series finale "Stressed to Kill" is underrated. (but in the production, but fortunately, despite Lucky Piquel's farewell in New Partners on the Block, the producers decided to conclude the series positively, with the fourth part and with the last remaining episodes with Lucky Piquel (rightly including the series finale episode "Stressed to Kill) in which the detective will improve his sympathy for toons).
