Unexceptional follies
TheLittleSongbird2 September 2019
'Tiny Toon Adventures' had a lot of episodes not made up of just one story but instead made up of between two to four segments generally linked by a certain theme. Some episodes with this format did it more successfully than others, a lot of them execute this format very well but there are episodes where there is one segment that isn't as strong as the others (an inevitable and can be common problem with segment episodes, that being the matter of consistency).

"Furball Follies" is a not too bad watch, if more from personal view a one-time watch than repeat viewings and is on the whole on the unexceptional side of things. It has a good deal of strong things in all three segments ("K-9 Kitty", "Aroma Amore" and "Cross-Country Kitty"), with an interest point of being tied together chronologically. Other episodes of 'Tiny Toon Adventures' though do this type of episode much better, with them being funnier and more inventive.

In order to enjoy "Furball Follies", it does depend on what your stance is on Furball himself. From personal opinion there are funnier and more interesting characters in the show, but he is pleasant and amusing enough and he comes off quite well in all three segments (especially "Aroma Amore"). The best of the segments is "Aroma Amore". Anybody who likes the Pepe Le Pew cartoons, which is what this segment is reminiscent of in writing, spirit and plot structure though but with Furball being the pursued and Fifi being in the Pepe role, will be as amused and charmed here as when watching his series.

Didn't find the other two segments as good, with a lack of tension and they are more too on the cute side and not having enough laughs. What there is is amusing but not in a riotous way. Especially "Cross-Country Kitty". All the segments are slightly plotted, could have at times done with tighter pacing and are pretty predictable.

Lots of vibrancy and attention to detail in the animation for all three segments, while the music is typically characterful and dynamic. The hip and infectious theme song still delights and never will cease to. There is some amusing writing and the supporting characters come over well too, the most interesting being Fifi. The voice acting is as accomplished as one expects.

On the whole, pleasant but not much special. 6/10
