It’s time for the Animanicast! Discussing Tiny Toons: SDCC Panel Audio!

Join your hosts Joey, Nathan and Kelly in the “Animanicast!” A podcast dedicated to Animaniacs and its sister shows. Today Joey and Nathan reflect upon their trip to San Diego Comic Con once again but specifically talk about the Tiny Toons Looniversity panel and share audio from the panel! While the big news first appeared to be that Babs would now be voiced by Ashleigh Crystal Hairston it turns out that the revelation that Babs and Buster Bunny will now be fraternal twins has the fans online incredibly upset and confused! Nathan and Joey talk about this development and how it impacts the Tiny Toons “Looniverse.” Feedback from Patreon supporters is also shared.  What do you think? Send us an email or reach out to us on social media or on the RetroZap discord!

The two hosts also bumped into artist and former StarToons animator, Dave Pryor at Comic Con! Audio from their quick meeting is shared.

 

Finally, take some time to listen to listen to the “80’s Cartoons” panel that Joey and Nathan attended. There’s some great behind the scenes stories from some classic 80 cartoons. Plus, lots more examples of how network executives often have no idea what they’re talking about!
