I\'m not sure that\'s the reason that scene was done by Wang. It was 48th in production order but aired first, so my guess is that Wang was called in to crank some footage out fast.


** The first episode, "The Looney Beginning", apparently had some scenes that were so bad, they were redone by Wang (mainly the climax in Monty's mansion).

Kennedy Cartoons was an animation studio founded in UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}} by animator Glenn Kennedy in the mid-1980s, with a branch in the Philippines. It is known among animation fans for its varying animation quality and its many OffModel moments. The studio is also known for its stretchy and bouncy character animation.

Compare StarToons, which worked on some of Kennedy's cartoons.

!!Tropes found in Kennedy Cartoons' work:
* AnimationBump: Certain animators from the studio (such as Glen Kennedy) went above and beyond by producing full animation for their sequences. For a TV production, this was (and still is) rare, especially from a domestic studio.
* DependingOnTheArtist: And ''how''. One of the major differences between Kennedy and other studios is how easy it is to differentiate between different animation styles during an episode. Opinions differ on whether this is a good thing; proponents like that an individual's thumbprint is still seen in the final animation because it gives the work a more personal touch, while opponents consider this is a sloppy practice because to them, if the designs/animation style aren't 100% uniform throughout the episode, it's considered OffModel.
* DerangedAnimation: Some scenes Kennedy animated for ''TTA'' that usually lasted for a split second or two.
* EverybodyDoTheEndlessLoop: In the Tiny Toons work, sometimes characters would do a rather nutty dance move reminiscent of Kennedy's earlier work on ''APupNamedScoobyDoo'', and on occasion, characters may break out into dance ''for no reason'' (such as on "Buster And the Wolverine")
* OffModel: It was fired after the first season of ''TTA'' because of this; according to rumor, episodes like "The ACME Bowl" and "High Toon" had to be almost entirely re-animated from scratch. However, they quickly found work over at Disney anyway.
** The first episode, "The Looney Beginning", apparently had some scenes that were so bad, they were redone by Wang (mainly the climax in Monty's mansion).
