I always love how much energy Danny Cooksey poured into the character - he was the youngest member of the cast, but he was already a pro who could hold his own with the likes of Adler, Macneille and Paulsen.
Actually, Elmyra got popular during the End of Season 1, because Cree Summer insisted they'd do more to develop her character. And they did. Giving her Parents, an older Sis voiced by Punky Brewster, a Younger Brother and a Cartoon Comic Strip Creation from herself "Mr Skullhead". You clearly didn't watch Tiny Toon Adventures.
To be fair Elmyra was never a bad kid she just needed to learn to calm down a bit. In order for Monty to be redeemed his parents need to learn to grow a spine and teach him he can’t get everything and anything he wants.
I’ll admit, I really love these Character Quest videos. Not only are they interesting, but they’re also very educational. Keep up the good work, Trevor!
Freakazoid! Was unironically one of my favorite cartoons growing up. I am in my mid 30s now and I've been quoting it every day. The network did them dirty.
Glad he’s not going to watch it. I know he would HATE what they did to him. Knowing Monty, he probably sold all of his character development for a couple grand.
I thought he was fine in the reboot but he wasn't in but one episode. It's been a while since I've seen the original series and I haven't seen it all though so I don't have a frame of reference I thought the reboot was good and I respect it for fully committing to being its own take on the same concept as the original cartoon, so I don't really take much issue with stuff like the new cast or some characters not being exactly like the original series
Looniversity Ruined EVERY Tiny Toon except kinda Hampton. DON'T even get me started on how idiotic and asinine it was to make Buster and Babs Siblings and how ANNOYING they made Plucky.
@Nonjola The people behind Tiny Toons did a really good job of making Monty and Elmyra feel different from their Looney Tunes counterparts, Sam and Elmer. Same thing with Furrball, the Tiny Toons counterpart of Sylvester. For one thing, Furrball is mostly a normal cat who just meows compared to the talkative Sylvester. For another, one of his targets is Li'l Sneezer, the Tiny Toons counterpart of obscure Looney Tunes star Sniffles the Mouse. (Lightning Rodriguez, a Tiny Toons counterpart to Speedy Gonzales was planned, but ended up being relegated to two blink-and-you'll miss cameos.) Finally, Sweetie, Tweety's Tiny Toons counterpart mostly tends to attack Furrball when the latter is minding his own business.
@@FlyingDuckMan360 Also keep in mind, that Ruegger in the Summer of 1989, hired Nicholas Hollander, Sherri Stoner, Bruce Pritchard and Paul Dini to head his writing team. There was a Sense of Camaraderie with Ruegger and his Four Horseman(Ruegger's nickname for Hollander,Stoner,Pritchard and Dini) and they all worked tirelessly to completely make sure each Little Looney Tune completely distinguished themselves from their Regular Looney Tunes Counterpart. (All alongside Reugger had worked on Shows like The Snorks, Dinosaucers, Jem, Pound Puppies, My Pet Monster). Buster and Babs were both Based off of Bugs Bunny. Honey was later retooled as Lola in Mid 90s, but Babs' was an algamation of Bugs' Female Drag Alter Egos, and Tress MacNeille's Impressions she created at Second City in the 70s and The Groundlings during the 1980s, that's why she was cast as Babs. Cryptkeeper himself John Kassir was originally considered for the Voice of Buster, but Charlie Adler's persona fit Buster Immaculately and since Buster was a more Fleshed out Mascoty Protagonist then the Smartass Bugs, Adler was picked to voice Buster. For Daffy's Counterpart, the idea was to make Plucky a complete Satire of Chuck Jones' often hated Interpretation of Daffy(Jones HATED TTA and insisted that Amblin and WB NEVER use the likeness of his image in the cartoon, that's why Jones is NEVER referenced or mentioned or seen in Tiny Toon Adventures) so Plucky was written as a Delusional Megalomaniac, but with a Heart of Gold, which is why L.A. Radio Personality Joe Alaskey was picked to voice him. Alaskey had actually pitch hitted for Mel Blanc since 1985 due to Blanc's Voice strained from decades of Chain smoking(Blanc Quit Smoking in '85 after he realized how much Cigarettes had ruined his voice) as the voice of Daffy(Blanc returned as Daffy in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Quackbusters in 1988) but Alaskey got Blanc's blessings to carry on as Daffy and thus he got cast as Plucky. For Shirley, the entire creation came from Gail Matthius herself. Matthius had a very brief and often little discussed unsuccessful stint on Saturday Night Live(During its Legendary Infamous Abysmal Season 6 in 1980-81) but she had broke though in Voice Acting and had Written and produced the Hit Sex Comedy film "Valley Girl" so the idea was to create a Modern Day Melissa Duck(Daffy's Wife, who had just recently cameod in Quackbusters) with a Valley Girl accent while mocking and satirizing Actress Shirley McClaine and her supposed involvement with Psychics and the Occult. Originally, Noel Blanc, Mel's loyal son was cast as Porky's NEW Counterpart, the Nerdy,Romantic, Timid Pig Hampton J Pig. Porky had been the Straight man and Looney Tunes' Mascot for 54 years at the time, so it made logical sense for Noel to voice Hampton, but word got out to Legendary Voice Don Messick that a NEW Modernized Looney Tunes Spinoff was in development, tired of being typecast in Hanna Barbera Cartoons, Messick wanted in. And so, HE was cast as Hampton instead of Noel. Noel voiced the New Porky instead. For Fifi LaFume. There had been heavy brainstorming on what a Modern Day Pepe would be. Hollander himself created a More Younger,Beautiful,Feminine and Seductive take of a more polished FEMALE Pepe, and named her Fifi. When Ruegger heard Kath Soucie's Voice Demo Resume provided by Andrea Ramano, they KNEW they had found the PERFECT Voice for Fifi. For Sweetie Bird, they decided a Yuppie laced, Youthful Groundlings member being trained to become a Voice Director by Ramano would handle the voice, so it was given to 28 year old Candi Milo. The LEGEND himself, nicknamed Mel Blanc's Apprentice Frank Welker was given the choice to voice not one, not two but THREE Characters in Little Looney Tunes: Furball, the Feral non English Speaking Kitty and Sylvester counterpart, Gogo Dodo a Zany NEW Take on the Obscure Tex Avery Creation "The Dodo" from the 1939 Merry Melodies short "Trouble in Wackyland" and Little Beeper, Road Runner's New Counterpart, Wild E's New Counterpart Calamity was made and written to be Mute. Finally getting to Montana Max and Elmrya Duff, there were several deep layers and nuances in the approach to how they would be written. Max's Early Drafts called for him to be a TRUE Villain. Who would use his Rich Spoiled Family's power to make Acme Acres a Living Hell. But the more, Ruegger and his 4 Horseman studied Yosemite Sam, the more they discovered he had few nuances and was Generally just a Punchline Villain with a funny Cowboy Persona and was Bugs Bunny's Foil. Originally, 14 year old Jason Mardsen was planned to voice him, but Mardsen fell short in his Audition demos, so his Counterpart Danny Cooskey also 14 got the Role. By this time, it was decided that Max would be Buster's Rival. Elmrya Duff's Early Draft called her, "Elmer Fudd's Niece" and she was originally written as a "More Malevolent, more Smarter Version of Elmer Fudd who wanted to Capture ALL the other Furry Toons and make them her Slaves". Cree Summer was ALWAYS considered for the voice of Elmrya right from the Get go, but she REJECTED the original draft as it called for her to do her Penny Gadget voice in a more Hammed up Form, she insisted they change Elmrya's Character to a more "Loving and Nice, but Misunderstood and Misguided Character" and Dini LOVED this idea of making Elmrya more of an Unintentional Villain and a Dimwit who treats all the other Furry Characters as Feral Pets and has no idea how to actually care for them. Keep in Mind, ALL the Voice Actors had dictation and control of how their Characters would be written. They each got to work together with the 4 Horseman. Getting back to the name "Little Looney Tunes" The Decision to Rename it came in November of 1989 after NBC Rejected the Pitch as a Planned Saturday Morning Cartoon. Interestingly, Nickelodeon/MTV Networks took Heavy interest in it calling "Looney Tunes Jr" and considered adding it to their Network, but Frank Redstone (Nickelodeon's Then Network Chief and President from June 1983 to April 1995 and son of Viacom founder Samuel "Summer" Redstone)became too concerned that he'd have nowhere on the slot to put it all(Looney Tunes took up the remaining Early Evening Nickelodeon Timeslot and on Nick at Nite as well at the time) so he regretfully passed on it. It was Sherri Stoner who came up with the name "Tiny Toon Adventures". The 80s were coming to an end, and she believed that if the name had a more "Stylish sounding name with more Pizzazz that reflected the new Decade", that the IP would be more viable. The First Season of Tiny Toon Adventures mostly ran in Syndication, but Fox had already decided to pick up its Exclusive Rights in September of 1990 when TTA debuted, by May 1991, it became part of the Fox Kids label and lineup Thanks to Margaret Louch, Manager of FOX Kids and President of Marvel Entertainment from September 1985 to June 1996.(Jim Henson and Stan Lee had personally picked Louch).
The reason for Montana Max being less effective as a villain as time went on, even being the protagonist of two shorts, is because his voice actor, Danny Cooksey, who was fourteen years old when the show began, complained about always having to play the bad guy. As someone who strongly prefers the original 1990 series to the Looniversity reboot, one of the reasons for it is because Monty is a much more prominent character in the original series than in Looniversity. Thus far, Monty's only appeared in one episode of Looniversity, "Save the Loo Bru", and he's also become a victim of "Adaptational Late Appearance", since "Save the Loo Bru" is Looniversity's fifth episode, whereas "The Looney Beginning" was the original series' first.
Would you believe that those two episodes where Monty is star actually came at the request of his voice actor? He was really tired of Monty not having any starring roles and wanted him to stop being bad all the time. If all voice actors did something like this, then the world would be a better place.
Same thing with Cree Summer. Elmyra's Character actually EVOLVED during Season 2 because Summer insisted on it. They gave her a Family(Including a Sister voiced by Punky Brewster and a Father Voiced by Max Headroom, I'm NOT joking), Made her less and less Dimwitted, made Furball her Pet Kitten, alot more practical and even gave her her very own Comic Strip Creation "Mr Skullhead".
@@KawikaProductions Cree Summer "Penny Gadget" Franks as well. Elmrya Duff went through Several Changes during the 1991-92 Season. Thanks to Ms. Summer.
If I had a nickel for every time a rich kid didn’t get redeemed by the creators, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
@@nevaehhamilton3493Oh hey, I was thinking the same thing. My Dexoverse is gonna enforce some rehab for Chloe and Morbucks, mostly because everyone in-universe is sick of their attitudes so it'll bend over backwards to get those two tyrants to finally get with the program and learn nothing revolves around either of them.
Angelica (AGU): WHAT!? SUSIE!? UGH! This isn't fair, I deserved to take a spot to sing that theme song, not that no-good showoff! Susie (AGU): Too bad, Angelica. I earned the spot.
I love that even though Max is rich he still looks like a hobo kid. They could have designed him to have a fancy haircut and tailored clothes, but his hair is a mess and he wears oversized gray clothes like they're second-hand. I would never guess that he's rich from looking at him, which adds a lot to how he probably feels about himself deep down.
because thats how he wants to look most kids feel uncomfortable when there too fancy i remember when i was a Kid my Grandmother put Brylcreem in my hair for a wedding and i hated it
He sounds a lot like ramon Salazar in the sense that he too was an antagonist in both re4 & its remake. Both characters are high in power & very lonely, which made them very bitter.
I’ve recently watched through TTA, and I’ll admit, while Max has a compelling backstory, I’m fine with him staying a villain. It’s good that Buster has an adversary that embodies some of the more obnoxious traits of the upper class western world, and which he can punch up to. I’m happy they gave Max some more sympathetic moments later on, partly written because his VA Danny Cooksey got tired of always playing a bad guy, but I feel like some social commentary would be lost if any future iteration tried to fully redeem him.
I remember watching TTA as a kid and "Prom-miss her Anything" and even thinking back then Elmira and Max was a weird pairing and didn't think they fit as a couple. If you're taking a break from Moral Oral, I would like Character Quest episodes about Dizzy, Hamton and Fifi because those are some of my favorite characters from Tiny Toon Adventures (excluding Buster and Babs obviously).
Danny Cooksey was also on Nickelodeon's Salute Your Shorts. As soon as I'd seen him on the show, I was like, "Hey, that's Montana Max's voice!" Also, Monty had some very touching moments, but they were quite rare. It's a shame that he couldn't have stayed with Elmyra. As annoying as she was, she actually cared for him. She shouldn't have given him up to that mean little girl. She should've fought for him. Also, Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain was a HUGE flop! I think the prom was one of Monty and Elmyra's best moments, in Promise Her Anything, when he finally realized just how cruel he'd been towards her, especially after being rejected by Mitzi, Dizzy Devil's date. This was where he learned how to be more empathetic towards her. I love how Buster and Babs had gotten them together. Ironically enough, though, in My Dinner with Elmyra, the two bunnies were laughing right along with everyone else, at the prospect of these two on a date. However, the evening had concluded with Monty's first kiss, so all wasn't lost. Redemption is the one thing he never got, though. Oh, well. Can't have everything.
Ah Promise her anything, it takes me back and speaking of how do a video on one of the most underrated tiny toon characters that being Shirley the Loon because I think she has so much potential
She's Based off of Daffy Duck's Wife Melissa Duck. She also is Plucky's Valley Girl Love Interest. Voiced by Gail Matthius who had a brief stint on SNL inventing the "Valley Girl" Voice.
Montana Max is my Favourite character his storys are really good like The Acme Acres Zone" "Citizen Max" "Love Disconnection" and "Sepulveda Boulevard" i hated it when they replaced him with Rudy in Pinky Elmyra and the brain but luckily that is none cannon i don't think Elmyra would just forget about Montana Max she had a big crush on him and loved him and cared about him. im Happy that Montana Max is back for Tiny Toons looniversity
I thought Monty was bad! Like really bad! So bad, I literally considered him one of if not the worst fictional characters of all time! Elmyra also sucked, but I will give her this. She doesn’t know she’s causing harm to them. The reason I hate him so bad is because he’s a rich spoiled brat and narcissist. I even created an original character after him to vent my frustrations on spoiled/bad children. I’m surprised to learn that even thought everyone hates him (which I think is well deserved), he’s lonely and got the short of the stick from the beginning. I think he has a hopeless social circle if he keeps this up. I also agree that the parents are the catalyst for him being a prick. Despite Elmyra, what if all Monty needs to be good is just a positive influence? Someone for him to be around and someone who likes/loves him unconditionally. But knows to put their foot down when Monty plays a trick. Pride and Greed are terrible sins.
Hell, I'd say the same is true for Chloe Bourgeois, they had ALL the setups in the world to fix her act but series creator Thomas Astruc is allergic to possibilities that don't make the show look like he's got his head up his bum. Seriously, you have NO idea how frustrating it was to see her be a hero during Malediktator and the Heroes Day duology and they DIDN'T want her to continue being a better person by working alongside her idol (who's actually her hated enemy Marinette aka the show's titular hero Ladybug), realizing all she had to do was admit she's unhappy and let people in so they can help her. But no, they want to make her allergic to selflessness and just keep digging her deeper into a crap-infested pit by having her get suckered by the series' main antagonist and WILLINGLY betray the heroes because she didn't understand that one of them could save her mommy and daddy better than she could! Are you starting to see why I hate how Astruc handles his own creation? I get he doesn't want to upset the status quo but at the same time Thomas is constantly changing that all the time but Chloe stays a pain in everyone's ass and gets worse every season after the second one? Bullcrap! You just can't do that, Thomas, you'll be hated and people are gonna stop watching the show! All in all, if it takes the fanbase to fix a hot mess like Chloe Bourgeois with their fanfics and comics as opposed to the creator's getting with the program, we have a problem here.
He got scaled back and dialed during S2. That's because they created a NEW Rival for Buster Also voiced by Charlie Adler named Rodney Rodent. And Yes, Tress MacNeille also voiced his GF Rubella.
@@ReapermaskhybridChloe Bourgeois turned out to be more evil than Pacifica from Gravity falls here's a different Chloe is selfish, narcissist, a spoiled bratt and worst of all she's an irredeemable monster On the other hand Pacifica started off as a mean popular girl because the show treats her as a one note villain but later on the show it turns out that Pacifica was manipulated by her narcissist parents who were the real villains but Thanks to Dipper he realized that Pacifica is a good person
@@sofiadominguezleon4106 Yeah, and that's honestly sad that Gravity Falls did a better job than the shiny CGI show that had freakin' Toei backing it up, as in the guys behind Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon. Pacifica felt like someone breaking the cycle of pain whereas Chloe is a natural born sociopath that wielded superpowers all willy-nilly like she found a gun in her daddy's desk drawer whether she was Akumatized or not, plus she screwed over everyone else because her nepo-baby status made it so she couldn't keep her mouth shut about having a Miraculous and that just made Hawk Moth more determined to sic his freaks of the week on our heroes. Is it any wonder I'm making it so that Chloe is actually a puppet of her mom? To be specific, Audrey Bourgeois in my too crazy multi-crossover thing is the resurrected/reincarnated White Diamond and she's quite literally trying to live through her daughter, why else would blondie act just a LITTLE human when her mom was under the control of her Akumatized dad? Not exactly fixing the issue in a way fans want, but at least it's better than letting Astruc keep beating a dead horse until all you see are shoe prints in the shape of a horse.
@@ReapermaskhybridYeah the writers just turned Pacifica into a stereotypical mean girl in the show but in the Lost Legends book she became a little more likeable
I know you’ve hinted at this in the beginning but now you’ve covered every Rugger show except Freakazoid! Technically Hysteria too but that’s kind of its own thing.
I think I might have been a Max. I grew up in a not rich family but was sheltered and somewhat spoiled, without other kids around. And here I am, in my 20s and no friends, only my family.
It took me almost 30 years to realize which classic Looney Tunes characters Montana Max and Elmyra Duff were based on. I figured out Montana Max just a little earlier but neither are anywhere near as straightforward as the likes of Hampton, Plucky, Dizzy, or Gogo.
Finally! We get to tiny toons adventures at long last! Animaniacs was the only reason I subscribed to media mementos to begin with. So I’m glad we’re getting to the other looney tunes counterpart. What a way to start of this character quest.
Montana Max secretly has feelings for Elmyra but keeps his feeling secret because he knows he will be laughed at he might be someone who gets embarrassed easily at if anyone knew his true feeling for her he got teased in Winnie Burger when he was seen with Elmyra in Love Disconnection in Prom-ise Her Anything he says and maybe if nobody was around i would consider dancing with you In the Playtime Toons episode segment, Fit To Be Toyed, while using his imagination to pretend to be a jazz player, Monty has Elmyra in his fantasy, suggesting he might have feelings for her . In the end of the Love Disconnection double-length episode segment, My Dinner with Elmyra, after Elmyra kissed Monty many times, he went back to his limo and said, "I think I'm in love", suggesting he may have feelings for her. in Hog Wild Hamton Before Elmyra asks Hamton about the party, she is sitting with Montana Max at the Milkshake shop this means that at some point they went on another date where they went to get milkshake and in Another Episode Montana Max and Elmyra can be seen getting Pizza and in another Episode when buster is on stage Montana Max and Elmyra are sitting together
It's funny you should mention the fact that kids (and the Tiny Toons by extension) aren't so forgiving towards people who are nasty to them. Danny Cooksey complained about constantly playing the villain, so Monty was given two shorts where he was the protagonist. These outings are genuinely interesting because their modus operandi is to be as mean as possible. Even when Monty's the main star, he's humiliated and kicked around at every turn. Given his personality, it's completely played off as Monty getting what's coming to him, so he's not undeserving. My Dinner With Elmyra, the second and last short, is the best one because we see a different side to everybody. In a nutshell, Monty is roped into taking Elmyra out because her family is a friend of his parents. He doesn't want to take her out and also doesn't want to be seen. You'd think he'd take her to an expensive restaurant which is off-limits to poor kids, but he doesn't want to spend that much and, in an attempt to sabotage his date, takes her to Weenie Burgers. Unfortunately, she loves the place and all the Toonsters are present. The whole Weenie Burgers sequence is the best part of the short because of how much you can read into it. Elmyra asks for the most childish item on the menu and Monty has to order it for him. The cashier practically bellows what Monty's asked for, prompting all the patrons to point and laugh at him. I get a sense of ambiguity from the cashier because, at face value, he's a nice guy trying to follow the "service with a smile" policy. Despite this, you can alternatively interpret his actions as passive-aggression. Monty often hangs out at the burger joint, he's probably bullied the staff. The cashier can see that Monty's in an embarrassing situation and trying not to be noticed. Therefore, the cashier can humiliate him and get away with it. To add insult to injury, the Toonsters begin singing "Sitting in a Tree" and Elmyra loves it, thinking they're serenading her and Monty. It's not just the likes of Buster, Babs, Plucky, etc. Not even Fifi, Hamton and Mary, the nicest characters on the show, are above mocking and laughing at Monty. It's not mean-spirited in the same way as a show like It's Always Sunny or Family Guy, but it is for Tiny Toons' standards. It's also one of the funniest shorts the show had to offer.
Cooksey only agreed to have Max as the Main Protagonist Villain until Season 2. In Season 2, Rodney Rodent replaced Max as the Main Villain. Rodney of Course was Adler doubling in Voice Roles. Rubella was also MacNeille Doubling.
It's probably good to remember that Monty is one of the youngest of the toons in Acme Acres, he's only 12 and Buster is around 14-15 ish at the start of the series and 17 or 18 by the final season, so Monty would only be about 15 by the time the series ended so who knows, maybe he would have matured more if the series continued.
Never really watched this show, but I wonder how Max would fair if he had a sibling to play with. Think about it: It'd be perfect for him. A sibling would be someone raised in the same household, who might have the same inflated sense of pride and love of material possessions. Max might see having a sibling as finally having an equal.
I feel like even in ANY cartoon pre-2000s even if a character has a redemption ark its always undone at the end of the episode. it was very common before the 21st century for cartoons to have one note characters with no complexity. Good is always good, bad is always bad. Modernly, cartoon characters are very well known for change. Also Montana Max has so far been in 1 episode of the new Tiny Toons , he tried to buy the Toons favorite hang out and fell in love with Buster in drag. I think it would be interesting to look at other wealthy kids and see how THEY stack up if you have the same Insite in to them too Some to look at Beebe Bluff Roger Klotz Rhonda Lloyd Wellington Amity Blight Louie Duck David Xanatose Princess Morebucks Seto Kaiba Gary Oak Mr Krabs Zuko Pacifica North West Andrea Davenport Diamond Tiara Angelica Pickles Courtney Gripling Brandon Higsby Remy Buxaplenty Eustace Strych Kahn Souphanousinphone Muffy Crosswire just to compare, contrast, say if they are more or less relatable, well handled , enjoyable whatever.
And characters like Muffy are highly redeemable as she usually learns sometging new like not understanding that not everybody celebrates christmas, but she opens her mind and learns about Haunaka by spending time with Francine's family
Angelica has to be my third favourite character in Rugrats after Phil and Lil. I really feel for in general. It’s not her fault she’s bad. Charlotte is a workaholic and Drew tries his best, but it doesn’t always work out in his favour. I know you’ve told me before you’re not a Rugrats fan Trevor, but these are just facts.
Maybe someday you can do a video on The Plucky Duck Show and how it never meant to be an actual spin off, just a best of Plucky clip show, with the pilot being the only original episode
Love your video my friend but I have to politely disagree. Though in. the flashback episode with Buster, Montana Max's parents did seem like the type to make him forget his poor past; they wouldn't forsake certain friendships, such as the Duntz family ( Elmira). If you remember elmira's, let's face it call Mom backdoor pilot episode, you'll see that her family is a typical nuclear family that lives in a above middle class suburban neighborhood, and just try to get by in life . Not worried about money, but more concerned about the baby getting out of the playpen! Even Montana Max's father would encourage Max to use his imagination instead of wasting money on toys that he was going to destroy anyway . Even though the show has some inconsistencies, one thing was clear was that Monty's parents did not put up with a spoiled brat attitude and would usually try to make him be more humble.. they weren't always the type to spoil him rotten, they would usually try to lessen it if it meant him to be a better person, such as Elmira's date! The parents threatened to take his allowance away!😂
Montana Max is my favorite🤩character, too! I have this theory that his father👨is an alcoholic🍺, and he gets angry😡😤and abusive when he’s drunk🥴, but is fairly reasonable when he’s sober, and I believe that in the Fit to be Toyed🧸episode with Monty as the star🌟, by the time Monty’s father👨appears on the screen📺he had just come to the tail end of a drunken🥴state and was beginning to sober up⬆️, which would explain why his father👨was so angry😡😤with him when he simply found one1️⃣of the toys🧸Monty blew up💥in his drink🍹, and why Monty was so fearful😨of him when he heard his name, and why he hit his father👨with his paddle ball🏓as he approached him during one1️⃣of his imagination💭games. I also theorize that Monty may be on the Spectrum (no hate; this is coming from someone who is actually on the Spectrum!😁😁)
I always love how much energy Danny Cooksey poured into the character - he was the youngest member of the cast, but he was already a pro who could hold his own with the likes of Adler, Macneille and Paulsen.
Shame Monty never got redeemed when people loved his character, yet the show kept trying to redeem Elmyra when everybody wanted her to disappear.
Actually, Elmyra got popular during the End of Season 1, because Cree Summer insisted they'd do more to develop her character. And they did. Giving her Parents, an older Sis voiced by Punky Brewster, a Younger Brother and a Cartoon Comic Strip Creation from herself "Mr Skullhead". You clearly didn't watch Tiny Toon Adventures.
Believe it or not, Monty’s actor actually wanted him to have a heart of gold.
To be fair Elmyra was never a bad kid she just needed to learn to calm down a bit. In order for Monty to be redeemed his parents need to learn to grow a spine and teach him he can’t get everything and anything he wants.
@iamcat1797 Elmyra deserves more love and Monty needs a redemption arc and be sent to military school for spoiled children
Montana Max: Call me Monty, one more time, or I'll set the dogs on you!
I’ll admit, I really love these Character Quest videos. Not only are they interesting, but they’re also very educational. Keep up the good work, Trevor!
I remember LOVING this character and was obsessed with him. Idk why.. but he’s still funny and one of the best villains.
Freakazoid! Was unironically one of my favorite cartoons growing up. I am in my mid 30s now and I've been quoting it every day. The network did them dirty.
Enjoy the OG Version while ya still can't, because the reboot version of him really changed him for the worst.
Glad he’s not going to watch it. I know he would HATE what they did to him. Knowing Monty, he probably sold all of his character development for a couple grand.
I thought he was fine in the reboot but he wasn't in but one episode. It's been a while since I've seen the original series and I haven't seen it all though so I don't have a frame of reference
I thought the reboot was good and I respect it for fully committing to being its own take on the same concept as the original cartoon, so I don't really take much issue with stuff like the new cast or some characters not being exactly like the original series
Looniversity Ruined EVERY Tiny Toon except kinda Hampton. DON'T even get me started on how idiotic and asinine it was to make Buster and Babs Siblings and how ANNOYING they made Plucky.
@@Tornado1994 You spelled Hamton wrong.
@@dannypalin9583 It's Hampton.
As A kid, I never noticed, that Montana Max and even Elmyra were supposed to counterparts to Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd.
Same
I knew that very well. Since the Working Title for TTA was in 1989 was called "Little Looney Tunes".
@Nonjola The people behind Tiny Toons did a really good job of making Monty and Elmyra feel different from their Looney Tunes counterparts, Sam and Elmer. Same thing with Furrball, the Tiny Toons counterpart of Sylvester. For one thing, Furrball is mostly a normal cat who just meows compared to the talkative Sylvester. For another, one of his targets is Li'l Sneezer, the Tiny Toons counterpart of obscure Looney Tunes star Sniffles the Mouse. (Lightning Rodriguez, a Tiny Toons counterpart to Speedy Gonzales was planned, but ended up being relegated to two blink-and-you'll miss cameos.) Finally, Sweetie, Tweety's Tiny Toons counterpart mostly tends to attack Furrball when the latter is minding his own business.
@@FlyingDuckMan360 Also keep in mind, that Ruegger in the Summer of 1989, hired Nicholas Hollander, Sherri Stoner, Bruce Pritchard and Paul Dini to head his writing team. There was a Sense of Camaraderie with Ruegger and his Four Horseman(Ruegger's nickname for Hollander,Stoner,Pritchard and Dini) and they all worked tirelessly to completely make sure each Little Looney Tune completely distinguished themselves from their Regular Looney Tunes Counterpart. (All alongside Reugger had worked on Shows like The Snorks, Dinosaucers, Jem, Pound Puppies, My Pet Monster).
Buster and Babs were both Based off of Bugs Bunny. Honey was later retooled as Lola in Mid 90s, but Babs' was an algamation of Bugs' Female Drag Alter Egos, and Tress MacNeille's Impressions she created at Second City in the 70s and The Groundlings during the 1980s, that's why she was cast as Babs. Cryptkeeper himself John Kassir was originally considered for the Voice of Buster, but Charlie Adler's persona fit Buster Immaculately and since Buster was a more Fleshed out Mascoty Protagonist then the Smartass Bugs, Adler was picked to voice Buster.
For Daffy's Counterpart, the idea was to make Plucky a complete Satire of Chuck Jones' often hated Interpretation of Daffy(Jones HATED TTA and insisted that Amblin and WB NEVER use the likeness of his image in the cartoon, that's why Jones is NEVER referenced or mentioned or seen in Tiny Toon Adventures) so Plucky was written as a Delusional Megalomaniac, but with a Heart of Gold, which is why L.A. Radio Personality Joe Alaskey was picked to voice him. Alaskey had actually pitch hitted for Mel Blanc since 1985 due to Blanc's Voice strained from decades of Chain smoking(Blanc Quit Smoking in '85 after he realized how much Cigarettes had ruined his voice) as the voice of Daffy(Blanc returned as Daffy in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Quackbusters in 1988) but Alaskey got Blanc's blessings to carry on as Daffy and thus he got cast as Plucky.
For Shirley, the entire creation came from Gail Matthius herself. Matthius had a very brief and often little discussed unsuccessful stint on Saturday Night Live(During its Legendary Infamous Abysmal Season 6 in 1980-81) but she had broke though in Voice Acting and had Written and produced the Hit Sex Comedy film "Valley Girl" so the idea was to create a Modern Day Melissa Duck(Daffy's Wife, who had just recently cameod in Quackbusters) with a Valley Girl accent while mocking and satirizing Actress Shirley McClaine and her supposed involvement with Psychics and the Occult.
Originally, Noel Blanc, Mel's loyal son was cast as Porky's NEW Counterpart, the Nerdy,Romantic, Timid Pig Hampton J Pig. Porky had been the Straight man and Looney Tunes' Mascot for 54 years at the time, so it made logical sense for Noel to voice Hampton, but word got out to Legendary Voice Don Messick that a NEW Modernized Looney Tunes Spinoff was in development, tired of being typecast in Hanna Barbera Cartoons, Messick wanted in. And so, HE was cast as Hampton instead of Noel. Noel voiced the New Porky instead.
For Fifi LaFume. There had been heavy brainstorming on what a Modern Day Pepe would be. Hollander himself created a More Younger,Beautiful,Feminine and Seductive take of a more polished FEMALE Pepe, and named her Fifi. When Ruegger heard Kath Soucie's Voice Demo Resume provided by Andrea Ramano, they KNEW they had found the PERFECT Voice for Fifi.
For Sweetie Bird, they decided a Yuppie laced, Youthful Groundlings member being trained to become a Voice Director by Ramano would handle the voice, so it was given to 28 year old Candi Milo.
The LEGEND himself, nicknamed Mel Blanc's Apprentice Frank Welker was given the choice to voice not one, not two but THREE Characters in Little Looney Tunes: Furball, the Feral non English Speaking Kitty and Sylvester counterpart, Gogo Dodo a Zany NEW Take on the Obscure Tex Avery Creation "The Dodo" from the 1939 Merry Melodies short "Trouble in Wackyland" and Little Beeper, Road Runner's New Counterpart, Wild E's New Counterpart Calamity was made and written to be Mute.
Finally getting to Montana Max and Elmrya Duff, there were several deep layers and nuances in the approach to how they would be written. Max's Early Drafts called for him to be a TRUE Villain. Who would use his Rich Spoiled Family's power to make Acme Acres a Living Hell. But the more, Ruegger and his 4 Horseman studied Yosemite Sam, the more they discovered he had few nuances and was Generally just a Punchline Villain with a funny Cowboy Persona and was Bugs Bunny's Foil. Originally, 14 year old Jason Mardsen was planned to voice him, but Mardsen fell short in his Audition demos, so his Counterpart Danny Cooskey also 14 got the Role. By this time, it was decided that Max would be Buster's Rival.
Elmrya Duff's Early Draft called her, "Elmer Fudd's Niece" and she was originally written as a "More Malevolent, more Smarter Version of Elmer Fudd who wanted to Capture ALL the other Furry Toons and make them her Slaves". Cree Summer was ALWAYS considered for the voice of Elmrya right from the Get go, but she REJECTED the original draft as it called for her to do her Penny Gadget voice in a more Hammed up Form, she insisted they change Elmrya's Character to a more "Loving and Nice, but Misunderstood and Misguided Character" and Dini LOVED this idea of making Elmrya more of an Unintentional Villain and a Dimwit who treats all the other Furry Characters as Feral Pets and has no idea how to actually care for them.
Keep in Mind, ALL the Voice Actors had dictation and control of how their Characters would be written. They each got to work together with the 4 Horseman.
Getting back to the name "Little Looney Tunes" The Decision to Rename it came in November of 1989 after NBC Rejected the Pitch as a Planned Saturday Morning Cartoon. Interestingly, Nickelodeon/MTV Networks took Heavy interest in it calling "Looney Tunes Jr" and considered adding it to their Network, but Frank Redstone (Nickelodeon's Then Network Chief and President from June 1983 to April 1995 and son of Viacom founder Samuel "Summer" Redstone)became too concerned that he'd have nowhere on the slot to put it all(Looney Tunes took up the remaining Early Evening Nickelodeon Timeslot and on Nick at Nite as well at the time) so he regretfully passed on it.
It was Sherri Stoner who came up with the name "Tiny Toon Adventures". The 80s were coming to an end, and she believed that if the name had a more "Stylish sounding name with more Pizzazz that reflected the new Decade", that the IP would be more viable. The First Season of Tiny Toon Adventures mostly ran in Syndication, but Fox had already decided to pick up its Exclusive Rights in September of 1990 when TTA debuted, by May 1991, it became part of the Fox Kids label and lineup Thanks to Margaret Louch, Manager of FOX Kids and President of Marvel Entertainment from September 1985 to June 1996.(Jim Henson and Stan Lee had personally picked Louch).
The reason for Montana Max being less effective as a villain as time went on, even being the protagonist of two shorts, is because his voice actor, Danny Cooksey, who was fourteen years old when the show began, complained about always having to play the bad guy.
As someone who strongly prefers the original 1990 series to the Looniversity reboot, one of the reasons for it is because Monty is a much more prominent character in the original series than in Looniversity. Thus far, Monty's only appeared in one episode of Looniversity, "Save the Loo Bru", and he's also become a victim of "Adaptational Late Appearance", since "Save the Loo Bru" is Looniversity's fifth episode, whereas "The Looney Beginning" was the original series' first.
Would you believe that those two episodes where Monty is star actually came at the request of his voice actor? He was really tired of Monty not having any starring roles and wanted him to stop being bad all the time. If all voice actors did something like this, then the world would be a better place.
That shows that the voice actor cares about the character so much that Monty’s not just a one-note villain all the time.
Same thing with Cree Summer. Elmyra's Character actually EVOLVED during Season 2 because Summer insisted on it. They gave her a Family(Including a Sister voiced by Punky Brewster and a Father Voiced by Max Headroom, I'm NOT joking), Made her less and less Dimwitted, made Furball her Pet Kitten, alot more practical and even gave her her very own Comic Strip Creation "Mr Skullhead".
@@KawikaProductions Cree Summer "Penny Gadget" Franks as well. Elmrya Duff went through Several Changes during the 1991-92 Season. Thanks to Ms. Summer.
If I had a nickel for every time a rich kid didn’t get redeemed by the creators, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Let me guess, the other is Princess Morbucks?
@@Collie-King three nickels. I was thinking Chloe Bourgeois from Miraculous, but Princess Morbucks is a pretty good example too!
@@nevaehhamilton3493Oh hey, I was thinking the same thing. My Dexoverse is gonna enforce some rehab for Chloe and Morbucks, mostly because everyone in-universe is sick of their attitudes so it'll bend over backwards to get those two tyrants to finally get with the program and learn nothing revolves around either of them.
@@ReapermaskhybridMorbucks end up being poor and be adopted by a family that treats her like a maid
@@sofiadominguezleon4106 What comes around goes around, I say.
Did you know the voice of Montana Max Danny Cooksey is actually a musician been singing country music since he was a kid
@Nick-ty9us I have seen a music video where a young Danny Cooksey sang "Country State of Mind".
@@FlyingDuckMan360 Cree Summer also moonlights in singing. She preformed the All Grown Up Theme song.
Angelica (AGU): WHAT!? SUSIE!? UGH! This isn't fair, I deserved to take a spot to sing that theme song, not that no-good showoff!
Susie (AGU): Too bad, Angelica. I earned the spot.
As someone who only watched the first series years ago, I definitely remember Max and Buster being friends at first.
That wasn't until S2. S1 had Max as the main Villain.
Not a video I expected, but still one that I enjoyed nonetheless.
I love that even though Max is rich he still looks like a hobo kid. They could have designed him to have a fancy haircut and tailored clothes, but his hair is a mess and he wears oversized gray clothes like they're second-hand. I would never guess that he's rich from looking at him, which adds a lot to how he probably feels about himself deep down.
because thats how he wants to look most kids feel uncomfortable when there too fancy i remember when i was a Kid my Grandmother put Brylcreem in my hair for a wedding and i hated it
Monty was only in one episode of Tiny Toons Looniversity and they made it clear that that's the only episode he'll be in
He sounds a lot like ramon Salazar in the sense that he too was an antagonist in both re4 & its remake. Both characters are high in power & very lonely, which made them very bitter.
I’ve recently watched through TTA, and I’ll admit, while Max has a compelling backstory, I’m fine with him staying a villain. It’s good that Buster has an adversary that embodies some of the more obnoxious traits of the upper class western world, and which he can punch up to. I’m happy they gave Max some more sympathetic moments later on, partly written because his VA Danny Cooksey got tired of always playing a bad guy, but I feel like some social commentary would be lost if any future iteration tried to fully redeem him.
Which is weird because danny is now typecast as bullies and jerk
I remember watching TTA as a kid and "Prom-miss her Anything" and even thinking back then Elmira and Max was a weird pairing and didn't think they fit as a couple. If you're taking a break from Moral Oral, I would like Character Quest episodes about Dizzy, Hamton and Fifi because those are some of my favorite characters from Tiny Toon Adventures (excluding Buster and Babs obviously).
I Loved Tiny Toons Since The 1990's Yes I'm a old man reaching Middle Age
It aired on FOX kids when I was 7 all the way until I was 10. I'm old too.
First!
Also I know it’s Yosemite, not Yosemity. Didn’t catch that when I got the footage back. Whoops!
No Fair!
Gosh darn it!
Well, dang. At least I'm fourth.
Nuhuh
Danny Cooksey was also on Nickelodeon's Salute Your Shorts. As soon as I'd seen him on the show, I was like, "Hey, that's Montana Max's voice!" Also, Monty had some very touching moments, but they were quite rare. It's a shame that he couldn't have stayed with Elmyra. As annoying as she was, she actually cared for him. She shouldn't have given him up to that mean little girl. She should've fought for him. Also, Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain was a HUGE flop!
I think the prom was one of Monty and Elmyra's best moments, in Promise Her Anything, when he finally realized just how cruel he'd been towards her, especially after being rejected by Mitzi, Dizzy Devil's date. This was where he learned how to be more empathetic towards her. I love how Buster and Babs had gotten them together. Ironically enough, though, in My Dinner with Elmyra, the two bunnies were laughing right along with everyone else, at the prospect of these two on a date. However, the evening had concluded with Monty's first kiss, so all wasn't lost.
Redemption is the one thing he never got, though. Oh, well. Can't have everything.
i wish Montana Max had been in Pinky Elmyra and the brain i did not like Rudy
Ah Promise her anything, it takes me back and speaking of how do a video on one of the most underrated tiny toon characters that being Shirley the Loon because I think she has so much potential
She's Based off of Daffy Duck's Wife Melissa Duck. She also is Plucky's Valley Girl Love Interest. Voiced by Gail Matthius who had a brief stint on SNL inventing the "Valley Girl" Voice.
Montana Max is my Favourite character his storys are really good like The Acme Acres Zone" "Citizen Max" "Love Disconnection" and "Sepulveda Boulevard" i hated it when they replaced him with Rudy in Pinky Elmyra and the brain but luckily that is none cannon i don't think Elmyra would just forget about Montana Max she had a big crush on him and loved him and cared about him. im Happy that Montana Max is back for Tiny Toons looniversity
God damn yesterday I binge watched a ton of Media Mementos videos, now this uploads, god I love this channel im going to binge watch more
I thought Monty was bad! Like really bad! So bad, I literally considered him one of if not the worst fictional characters of all time! Elmyra also sucked, but I will give her this. She doesn’t know she’s causing harm to them.
The reason I hate him so bad is because he’s a rich spoiled brat and narcissist. I even created an original character after him to vent my frustrations on spoiled/bad children.
I’m surprised to learn that even thought everyone hates him (which I think is well deserved), he’s lonely and got the short of the stick from the beginning. I think he has a hopeless social circle if he keeps this up.
I also agree that the parents are the catalyst for him being a prick.
Despite Elmyra, what if all Monty needs to be good is just a positive influence? Someone for him to be around and someone who likes/loves him unconditionally. But knows to put their foot down when Monty plays a trick. Pride and Greed are terrible sins.
Hell, I'd say the same is true for Chloe Bourgeois, they had ALL the setups in the world to fix her act but series creator Thomas Astruc is allergic to possibilities that don't make the show look like he's got his head up his bum.
Seriously, you have NO idea how frustrating it was to see her be a hero during Malediktator and the Heroes Day duology and they DIDN'T want her to continue being a better person by working alongside her idol (who's actually her hated enemy Marinette aka the show's titular hero Ladybug), realizing all she had to do was admit she's unhappy and let people in so they can help her.
But no, they want to make her allergic to selflessness and just keep digging her deeper into a crap-infested pit by having her get suckered by the series' main antagonist and WILLINGLY betray the heroes because she didn't understand that one of them could save her mommy and daddy better than she could!
Are you starting to see why I hate how Astruc handles his own creation? I get he doesn't want to upset the status quo but at the same time Thomas is constantly changing that all the time but Chloe stays a pain in everyone's ass and gets worse every season after the second one? Bullcrap! You just can't do that, Thomas, you'll be hated and people are gonna stop watching the show!
All in all, if it takes the fanbase to fix a hot mess like Chloe Bourgeois with their fanfics and comics as opposed to the creator's getting with the program, we have a problem here.
He got scaled back and dialed during S2. That's because they created a NEW Rival for Buster Also voiced by Charlie Adler named Rodney Rodent. And Yes, Tress MacNeille also voiced his GF Rubella.
@@ReapermaskhybridChloe Bourgeois turned out to be more evil than Pacifica from Gravity falls here's a different Chloe is selfish, narcissist, a spoiled bratt and worst of all she's an irredeemable monster
On the other hand Pacifica started off as a mean popular girl because the show treats her as a one note villain but later on the show it turns out that Pacifica was manipulated by her narcissist parents who were the real villains but Thanks to Dipper he realized that Pacifica is a good person
@@sofiadominguezleon4106 Yeah, and that's honestly sad that Gravity Falls did a better job than the shiny CGI show that had freakin' Toei backing it up, as in the guys behind Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon.
Pacifica felt like someone breaking the cycle of pain whereas Chloe is a natural born sociopath that wielded superpowers all willy-nilly like she found a gun in her daddy's desk drawer whether she was Akumatized or not, plus she screwed over everyone else because her nepo-baby status made it so she couldn't keep her mouth shut about having a Miraculous and that just made Hawk Moth more determined to sic his freaks of the week on our heroes.
Is it any wonder I'm making it so that Chloe is actually a puppet of her mom? To be specific, Audrey Bourgeois in my too crazy multi-crossover thing is the resurrected/reincarnated White Diamond and she's quite literally trying to live through her daughter, why else would blondie act just a LITTLE human when her mom was under the control of her Akumatized dad?
Not exactly fixing the issue in a way fans want, but at least it's better than letting Astruc keep beating a dead horse until all you see are shoe prints in the shape of a horse.
@@ReapermaskhybridYeah the writers just turned Pacifica into a stereotypical mean girl in the show but in the Lost Legends book she became a little more likeable
In this situation money cannot buy happiness
I know you’ve hinted at this in the beginning but now you’ve covered every Rugger show except Freakazoid! Technically Hysteria too but that’s kind of its own thing.
I think I might have been a Max. I grew up in a not rich family but was sheltered and somewhat spoiled, without other kids around. And here I am, in my 20s and no friends, only my family.
that sounds like me
It took me almost 30 years to realize which classic Looney Tunes characters Montana Max and Elmyra Duff were based on. I figured out Montana Max just a little earlier but neither are anywhere near as straightforward as the likes of Hampton, Plucky, Dizzy, or Gogo.
Finally! We get to tiny toons adventures at long last! Animaniacs was the only reason I subscribed to media mementos to begin with. So I’m glad we’re getting to the other looney tunes counterpart. What a way to start of this character quest.
Tiny toons is crimaly underated
Montana Max secretly has feelings for Elmyra but keeps his feeling secret because he knows he will be laughed at he might be someone who gets embarrassed easily at if anyone knew his true feeling for her he got teased in Winnie Burger when he was seen with Elmyra in Love Disconnection in Prom-ise Her Anything he says and maybe if nobody was around i would consider dancing with you In the Playtime Toons episode segment, Fit To Be Toyed, while using his imagination to pretend to be a jazz player, Monty has Elmyra in his fantasy, suggesting he might have feelings for her . In the end of the Love Disconnection double-length episode segment, My Dinner with Elmyra, after Elmyra kissed Monty many times, he went back to his limo and said, "I think I'm in love", suggesting he may have feelings for her. in Hog Wild Hamton Before Elmyra asks Hamton about the party, she is sitting with Montana Max at the Milkshake shop this means that at some point they went on another date where they went to get milkshake and in Another Episode Montana Max and Elmyra can be seen getting Pizza and in another Episode when buster is on stage Montana Max and Elmyra are sitting together
Money can’t buy everything you know max
Max is the reason why people say "Money is the root of all evil" (the only WB cartoon to lampshade this, is Teen Titans Go
Fun fact:
The manga ka for Hellsing did a world war 2 era adult manga called coyote
and named one of his villians after Montana Max
It's funny you should mention the fact that kids (and the Tiny Toons by extension) aren't so forgiving towards people who are nasty to them. Danny Cooksey complained about constantly playing the villain, so Monty was given two shorts where he was the protagonist. These outings are genuinely interesting because their modus operandi is to be as mean as possible. Even when Monty's the main star, he's humiliated and kicked around at every turn. Given his personality, it's completely played off as Monty getting what's coming to him, so he's not undeserving.
My Dinner With Elmyra, the second and last short, is the best one because we see a different side to everybody. In a nutshell, Monty is roped into taking Elmyra out because her family is a friend of his parents. He doesn't want to take her out and also doesn't want to be seen. You'd think he'd take her to an expensive restaurant which is off-limits to poor kids, but he doesn't want to spend that much and, in an attempt to sabotage his date, takes her to Weenie Burgers. Unfortunately, she loves the place and all the Toonsters are present.
The whole Weenie Burgers sequence is the best part of the short because of how much you can read into it. Elmyra asks for the most childish item on the menu and Monty has to order it for him. The cashier practically bellows what Monty's asked for, prompting all the patrons to point and laugh at him. I get a sense of ambiguity from the cashier because, at face value, he's a nice guy trying to follow the "service with a smile" policy. Despite this, you can alternatively interpret his actions as passive-aggression. Monty often hangs out at the burger joint, he's probably bullied the staff. The cashier can see that Monty's in an embarrassing situation and trying not to be noticed. Therefore, the cashier can humiliate him and get away with it.
To add insult to injury, the Toonsters begin singing "Sitting in a Tree" and Elmyra loves it, thinking they're serenading her and Monty. It's not just the likes of Buster, Babs, Plucky, etc. Not even Fifi, Hamton and Mary, the nicest characters on the show, are above mocking and laughing at Monty.
It's not mean-spirited in the same way as a show like It's Always Sunny or Family Guy, but it is for Tiny Toons' standards. It's also one of the funniest shorts the show had to offer.
Cooksey only agreed to have Max as the Main Protagonist Villain until Season 2. In Season 2, Rodney Rodent replaced Max as the Main Villain. Rodney of Course was Adler doubling in Voice Roles. Rubella was also MacNeille Doubling.
@@Tornado1994 Ehhh, no. For one thing, it was Roderick, not Rodney. For another, Roddy and Rhubella more or less disappeared after Season 1.
@@dannypalin9583 Rodney appeared during S2, and ONLY appeared in One episode in the 1st Season. I guess you missed the "Smoking Episode" in Season 2?
It's probably good to remember that Monty is one of the youngest of the toons in Acme Acres, he's only 12 and Buster is around 14-15 ish at the start of the series and 17 or 18 by the final season, so Monty would only be about 15 by the time the series ended so who knows, maybe he would have matured more if the series continued.
Max: DON'T CALL ME MONTY!!! 😠
(3:44)
Max: DON'T CALL ME MONTY!!!
Max only apologizes to Elmyra in "Prom-ise her Anything" because he gets a taste of his own medicine.
Nice to hear the music from Buster Bust loose and so on.
My favorite character was is Montana Max
I was 7 months old when "Tiny Toon Adventures" debuted.
Never really watched this show, but I wonder how Max would fair if he had a sibling to play with. Think about it: It'd be perfect for him. A sibling would be someone raised in the same household, who might have the same inflated sense of pride and love of material possessions. Max might see having a sibling as finally having an equal.
I feel like even in ANY cartoon pre-2000s even if a character has a redemption ark its always undone at the end of the episode.
it was very common before the 21st century for cartoons to have one note characters with no complexity. Good is always good, bad is always bad. Modernly, cartoon characters are very well known for change.
Also Montana Max has so far been in 1 episode of the new Tiny Toons , he tried to buy the Toons favorite hang out and fell in love with Buster in drag.
I think it would be interesting to look at other wealthy kids and see how THEY stack up if you have the same Insite in to them too

Angelica has to be my third favourite character in Rugrats after Phil and Lil. I really feel for in general. It’s not her fault she’s bad.

Love your video my friend but I have to politely disagree. Though in. the flashback episode with Buster, Montana Max's parents did seem like the type to make him forget his poor past; they wouldn't forsake certain friendships, such as the Duntz family ( Elmira). If you remember elmira's, let's face it call Mom backdoor pilot episode, you'll see that her family is a typical nuclear family that lives in a above middle class suburban neighborhood, and just try to get by in life . Not worried about money, but more concerned about the baby getting out of the playpen! Even Montana Max's father would encourage Max to use his imagination instead of wasting money on toys that he was going to destroy anyway . Even though the show has some inconsistencies, one thing was clear was that Monty's parents did not put up with a spoiled brat attitude and would usually try to make him be more humble.. they weren't always the type to spoil him rotten, they would usually try to lessen it if it meant him to be a better person, such as Elmira's date! The parents threatened to take his allowance away!😂
Montana Max is my favorite🤩character, too! I have this theory that his father👨is an alcoholic🍺, and he gets angry😡😤and abusive when he’s drunk🥴, but is fairly reasonable when he’s sober, and I believe that in the Fit to be Toyed🧸episode with Monty as the star🌟, by the time Monty’s father👨appears on the screen📺he had just come to the tail end of a drunken🥴state and was beginning to sober up⬆️, which would explain why his father👨was so angry😡😤with him when he simply found one1️⃣of the toys🧸Monty blew up💥in his drink🍹, and why Monty was so fearful😨of him when he heard his name, and why he hit his father👨with his paddle ball🏓as he approached him during one1️⃣of his imagination💭games. I also theorize that Monty may be on the Spectrum (no hate; this is coming from someone who is actually on the Spectrum!😁😁)
