Why This Era Rocks

 * 1) This era is a huge improvement over the late 1964-1969 era.
 * 2) Many classic characters make a comeback after their departure from the Golden age of American animation such as Tweety, Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Foghorn Leghorn, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, and others.
 * 3) Many memorable shorts, such as:
 * 4) * “Carrotblanca” (the best one of this era)
 * 5) * "Daffy Flies North"
 * 6) * “Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers"
 * 7) * “Box Office Bunny”
 * 8) * "Little Go Beep" (also the best one)
 * 9) The shorts have ideas that have never been done before, much like Season 9 onwards of SpongeBob.
 * 10) Daffy Duck reverted back to his original post-1961-1963 self and remained likeable ever since, (except for “The Chocolate Chase”).
 * 11) Starting with "The Duxorcist", the animation got a slight upgrade in quality (as well as rediscovering the techniques of overlapping action and squash-and-stretch).
 * 12) The shorts started having original music scores again with "Box Office Bunny", after several years of stock music from earlier shorts.
 * 13) New talent of animators, such as Gregg Vanzo, Spike Brandt, Tony Cervone and Jeff Siergey. Brandt would later go on to direct "Little Go-Beep".
 * 14) Like Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, DuckTales and Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, this era was involved in developing the Renaissance Age of Animation.
 * 15) Characters such as Taz and Speedy Gonzales get a lavish makeover in tribute to the style of Chuck Jones' shorts from the late 40s-early 50s period.
 * 16) Cool Cat and Merlin the Magic Mouse are thankfully nowhere to be seen in this era, though they made cameos in The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries. Also, Daffy Duck is no longer paired with Speedy Gonzales (except for the aformentioned “The Chocolate Chase”).

Bad Qualities

 * 1) There are still some bad shorts such as “The Chocolate Chase”, "Marvin the Martian in the Third Dimension" and "Porky and Daffy in the William Tell Overture".
 * 2) *While it's decent, "Little Go Beep" is kinda out of place compared to the rest.
 * 3) The shorts would eventually go downhill one last time from 2003-2004, through it did got a good start.
 * 4) The animation prior to 1987 is still stiff and bland as it was before, resembling animation from the mid-1950s to the 1960s. Even some of Jones' new team of animators weren't safe from this.
 * 5) The 1979-1980 shorts were fairly decent or mediocre, due to WB following rules made by Moral Guardians.

Trivia

 * "Little Go Beep" was made while Baby Looney Tunes was still in development, and it features the show's logo at the end.
