This is my favorite episode of the show, it's basically Tiny Toons doing "Field of Dreams" even the episode is hilariously aware of it. However, what really powers the episode is that it has a heart to it, which really makes us care.
Babs is the main protagonist which is cool as she's my third favorite character in the show, because she always just this ball of manic and comedic energy that shows no signs of fatigue. But I also like her because she has a range of emotions that the other characters don't exercise enough, here she gets to exercise it all. Though she's not the only protagonist, I won't say who else it is as that's part of the mystery of the episode and in a way the episode is also about that person as well, it just doesn't seem that way at first.
The episode is also somewhat educational as it brings up the Looney Toons characters Bosco and Honey. Both of them were the very first Looney Toons characters, yeah it's true both almost seem like they could be knock offs of Mickey and Minnie Mouse but Bosco and Honey were actually unique because they both had their own style of comedy and fun, but also the fact that Honey wasn't always a damsel in distress and can get out of jams herself which was a bit revolutionary for it's time. However, as time went on both characters have been forgotten as the fame of the core cast, we know and loved grew.
You really route for Babs to win as she's found her heroine and wants the joy of her discovery to be shared and remembered with. Her pursuit is something we all could relate to, no matter what age you are there is sometimes that very thing that you remember and discover in your lifetime like a old TV show, movie, video game, etc. and your always striving to collect it so it will always be a part of your life never forgotten.
This episode is by its nature a love letter to the Looney Toons franchise in general. Without the characters Bosco and Honey, we wouldn't have many other animated comedies like "Animaniacs" and "Tiny Tunes" and the characters Babs and Buster Bunny who where inspired by both characters. Though also the Warner Bros and Sister from "Animaniacs" whose character designs are similar.
As Babe Ruth once said, "Heroes are remembered but legends never die." Bosco and Honey legend lives on to this day and always.
Rating: 4 stars
