Tiny Toons' Night Ghoulery (1995 TV Movie) User Reviews

Horrorific

[emasterslake · 7/10 · 19 May 2007]

Of course, what's not there to like about a Halloween theme special of Tiny Toon? Hosted by Babs Bunny who impersonates various celebrities in the special. And featuring almost all the character you all like and admire. Containing several segments that parodied various horror/thriller/Halloween theme stories and movies. And like always there's the parodies, celebrity jokes, and running gags that makes this one connected to the Tiny Toons series.

I didn't see this one till 12 years after it's release. But I got to admit it does have it's moments that makes it memorable. In my opinion the "Gremlin" & "Fuel" segments are my favorite parts. And I guaranteed that there's at least one funny part to laugh at.

Fact is, this is the last Tiny Toons special to be made. As there hasn't been a new one for 12 years now. And this marks as the final appearance of Don Messick as the voice of Hamton Pig. Who past on 2 years later. May he rest in peace and remembered as a great voice actor.

And I'm sure they'll include this one in Tiny Toons special DVD collection if there'll ever be one.

Ghoulish fun with Tiny Toons

[TheLittleSongbird · 10/10 · 11 June 2019]

The second, better known and slightly superior of the 'Tiny Toon Adventures' specials, the other being the underrated 'Tiny Toons Spring Break', 'Tiny Toons Night Ghoulery' is a must see for any 'Tiny Toon Adventures' and animation fan. Both, and 'How I Spent My Vacation', complement the show very well, which is still held in very high regard by me through young adult eyes even with tastes in animation and in everything (would like to think so anyway) significantly broadened.

It is my strong feeling, once again, that fans of the show should be able to not any problem enjoying 'Tiny Toons Night Ghoulery'. As a big fan of the show and its humour, as well as of Looney Tunes and similar shows like 'Animaniacs' and 'Pinky and the Brain', for me there was an enormous amount to enjoy and cannot find anything at all wrong. Every Halloween fan should see it, it is suitably ghoulish without being too scary, having plenty for children and adults, and affectionately nostalgic, which is to me what Halloween in animation should be like.

Animation in 'Tiny Toons Night Ghoulery' is as beautiful and crisp as the show's, with bright and at other points nightmarishly colourful backgrounds, beautiful colours and well drawn characters. Have always considered music very important when reviewing films, television, cartoons, etc. and 'Tiny Toons Night Ghoulery' scores highly in that respect. The incidental music is beautifully and cleverly composed, always dynamic and full of energy and the main theme is very catchy.

Like the show, the humour is insanely funny and very smart, with sharply timed gags (physical and verbal), that the special is never in short supply of, and even wittier dialogue. There is enough for children to understand and laugh at, no this is not humour that is going to go completely over their heads, but like the show enormous effort was shown providing content to appeal to a wide audience other than youngsters. 'Tiny Toons Night Ghoulery' is highly successful in this, the humour actually is more understandable to young adults and older audiences. As ever the parodies and references, ranging from 'The Twilight Zone', 'Gremlin', the Devil and Daniel Webster are ingenious.

Same goes for Babs', an inspired host choice, celebrity impersonations, again something that young adults and above are likely to get more. That is not to say that it will go over the heads of younger audiences, as the timing is so brilliant and the dialogue and delivery on point.

Much goes on but it never feels over-stuffed. All the characters are on form, with Babs especially great, and can't fault the voice acting. Tress MacNeille's is a tour de force.

In conclusion, ghoulish fun. 10/10

Great Halloween Fun

[StreepFan126 · 10/10 · 19 September 2002]

This is a great spoof of all those horror anthology shows, such as "Night Gallery" and "The Twilight Zone." There is a spoof of the famous gremlin on the airplane episode of the Twilight Zone, a spoof of the Devil and Daniel Webster, and The Nightmare Before Christmas among others. Tress MacNeille as Babs Bunny is hysterical as the host.

Very Amazing

I love this movie, and Montana Max (My most favorite TTA character of all time), was the best in it. The segments were funny, and I enjoyed it! 10/10, perfect!
