Love everything about 'Tiny Toon Adventures', did so when younger and it gets better and better with every watch like a lot of, if not all, other animated childhood favourites. The colourful animation. The infectious music. The smart and wonderfully wacky writing and references. The fun stories that often parody films and television. The hugely engaging and personality-rich characters. The great voice acting from some of the best voice actors in the business.
"Prom-ise Her Anything" is one of the 'Tiny Toon Adventures' episodes to have one individual story, instead of having the double/triple/quadruple etc. bill structures of a lot of other episodes. It is not one of the best individual story episodes, do prefer "A Looney Beginning" and "Her Wacky Highness", but it is still great stuff and one of the episodes that gets better with each watch with even more gotten out of the humour and character interaction/personalities each time. Consider it among the better earlier episodes. It is, like the show overall, clever, creative and hip with something for children and actually especially adults, while containing the original Looney Tunes cartoons' zany wit.
Expectedly, "Prom-ise Her Anything" is very well animated. It is crisp, with bright colourful backgrounds, beautiful colours and well drawn characters. One could tell that the animators were having great fun with the visual side of things, as was always the case with 'Tiny Toon Adventures'. The music is as good as the old Looney Tunes cartoons (prime-Looney Tunes, not most of the 60s ones) in being characterful and adding to the action, if not quite enhancing it in the same way. It always helps to have a memorable theme tune, and the one for 'Tiny Toon Adventures' is suitably hip and very catchy.
Writing here is wonderfully wacky and razor sharp in wit, as well as being smart and spot on in comic timing. There were again some hilarious and knowing inside jokes regarding the entertainment industry, with lots of laugh out loud dialogue (i.e. Plucky's spiking punch and Babs' not surviving the loss of blood lines). The references are both inspired and cleverly inserted, none feeling random or misplaced. They are the sort though that the adults are likely more to get (am not trying to generalise), the most familiar thing referenced/included that children will get is the Bugs Bunny cartoon 'Hot Cross Bunny', with the Stephen Asche dance move, if Looney Tunes fans. The story is a lot of fun and affectionate in its nostalgia, prom nights have seldom been this wacky or funny.
Still love the characters, their interactions and how their facial expressions are animated. Gogo Dodo is one of those take or leave characters, his song being the most memorable thing about him, but Babs especially is on top form. Have nothing to fault the voice acting for.
In conclusion, great. 9/10
