Fields of Honey

Old cartoons never die

Am not only a fan of &apos;Tiny Toon Adventures&apos;, but am equally a fan of older animation in general, Looney Tunes and animation as an overall whole. The concept of &quot;Fields of Honey&quot; sounded great and very nostalgic, though it had the danger of being potentially a clip-show/cheater which can come off as lazy. It was a Babs-centric episode, and she is such a great character. Will admit to not being the biggest of fans, while not hating, of Bosko (Warners&apos; first cartoon star so he is of historical interest), Honey and their cartoons.

This proved to not be a detriment in any shape or form and actually helped to make the episode stand out among the others. &quot;Fields of Honey&quot; is not just one of the best Babs-centric episodes, it is a gem of an episode for &apos;Tiny Toon Adventures&apos;, one of the show&apos;s very best even, and for anything. And it makes such affectionate use of Bosko, Honey and their cartoons that on subsequent re-watches of the episode it has helped me appreciate them more while still not loving them, after being relatively indifferent to both characters and their cartoons for a while. Just to say, it is not a cheater or anything similar, nothing of the kind.

&quot;Fields of Honey&quot; is well animated, with lovely vibrant colours, rich attention to detail in the backgrounds, inventive facial/eye expressions, reactions and body language and smooth enough drawing. One can definitely see how animation has generally evolved so much in quality and feel since the era of Bosko, Honey and their cartoons, but that is not a bad thing as that is one of the main points of the episode. The music is full of hip lively character and is at its best it&apos;s dynamite and a joy to listen to, no wonder it won an Emmy. The theme tune is still a classic nearly thirty years on (how time flies, it really does not feel that long).

Moreover, &quot;Fields of Honey&quot; is a brilliantly written episode. One of the show&apos;s best written, because the dialogue is so intelligently done, has the wit as sharp as a razor, is wonderfully hip and most of all it is funny. No, make that hilarious. All of Babs&apos; dialogue is gold, but another favourite is Hamton&apos;s best ever line referencing Winnie the Pooh. The references and parodies here are ingenious, one doesn&apos;t really have to be familiar with what is being referenced (though that does help) to find the dialogue and plentiful gags funny. The dialogue and delivery of it are more than enough. The story is clever and affectionate and one of &apos;Tiny Toon Adventures&apos; finest examples of merging the old school with the modern without clashing, same with the nostalgic nods to the past and with ideas that must have inspired &apos;Animaniacs&apos; and &apos;Pinky and the Brain&apos;.

Babs is on tour-de-force form, the episode always playing to her strengths and personality traits non-stop. Buster and Plucky are always great to watch and that hilarious aforementioned line makes Hamton shine more than usual. Tress MacNeille likewise with the tour-de-force thing, how she has such a ball with Babs&apos; classic imitations shows how talented and versatile she is.

In conclusion, a gem. This is one of the finest examples as to why &apos;Tiny Toon Adventures&apos; is considered a classic to many. 10/10
