I like Kids WB a little more so...since they had a show with Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons, and Animaniacs combined! The Cat&Birdy Warneroonie PinkyBrainy Big Cartoonie Show



And if they added H-B Shows from Tom and Jerry to Secret Squirrel...I'd be in Hog Heaven! Too bad it was only on for a year...

Kids' WB retrospectives:

Fox Kids was a big part of the 90's animation renaissance. Alot of what made the 90's toons successful, was they paid homage to the golden age of theatrical animation. Even shows like Batman the Animated series took inspiration from the Fleischer Superman cartoons.

They also borrowed alot of inpiration from classic comic books and comic strips during that period. Disney afternoon cartoons such as Tailspin, Ducktales and Darkwing Duck was inspired by the Carl Barks Disney Duck books, Terry and The Pirates and Batman.
