Warning do not read unless seen episode.
This is my sixth favorite episode of the show, what I like about it is that it's two things, where on one half of the episode its educational but then the other half it's an animation anthology.
I really like that first half as it actually gave us a glimpse into the world of animation and all of the behind the scenes work, really made us appreciate the animators all the more, as it shows how creating beautiful and amazing entertainment takes hard work. Of course, there is some fun to be had as Pucky as usual he plays around with the flashback ability and of course it results in a lot of catastrophe on his part.
But of course, the second half is the real kicker as we see an anthology of animated shorts, from the Tiny Toons and each of them perfectly fit their personas. And even liked the judges which consist of all the familiar Looney Toon characters Bugs, Daffy, and Porky, they also had funny moment like Bugs snatching a Playboy like magazine from Daffy and then looking at it himself, hey it's nature what are you going to do.
I'll just say a few of the shorts that I really liked.
Hamptons Nightmare: This one was really funny, I remember seeing it the first time at from the black and white animation you think something cool and scary is going to happen, but then your hopes are dashed like rock at the end of the film. I remember thinking "wow, that was horror without horror." Did it ever occur to Hampton to animate the dream sequence first before cutting to reality? Though knowing Hampton, he was probably too scared to even do it.
How to Dance: This one is by Go Go which perfectly fits as I honestly have no idea what I just watched. It's really strange, it look like it could be a short for an episode of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" where were simply seeing two people dance though not very well, and what happens in that last part is just nuts, just like Go Go.
Montana Max's Christmas: It's simply Max's artistic or should I sad poor artistic revenge on both Babs and Buster, where he's simply dressed as Santa and beating and killing both of them, ok maybe not that last part but what he takes out in that film can kill people. Just like Babs and Buster I thought the film was offensive on so many levels, what really makes this funny is how riled up and angry it made everyone they literally threw Max out along with his film.
In a way this short sort of parodies on the film "Silent Night Deadly Night" and the controversy it produced in the 80's (on a side note that film is good, Max's isn't) after what happened to Max, made me wonder if the same thing happened to the makers of that film once they premiered the film in a theater on Christmas Time (not kidding, that really was the film's premiere date).
Even Toon have stories to tell.
