Audience reception in the main page


The show is very cute and has some charming writing, but being a show targeted explicitly at preschool audiences resulted in older fans of the ''Looney Tunes'' brand to look upon it with derision.

* LighterAndSofter: BLT is quite a radical departure from the wanton violence and other antics of the classic WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes, as well as WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures and WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}. It's an in-name only spin-off, considering how far the characters are removed from their signature personas.

* SoundEffectBleep: An episode involves Daffy swearing. (The episode in question has been memed on Youtube and is one of the funniest episodes.)



* YouCanTalk: In "War of the Weirds, the babies, minus Taz, have this reaction when Marvin agrees to play with them. Up until then, he only shyly mumbled. Taz's justification on why Marvin never talked to them before was because he didn't know them, as they had been ostracizing him because they found him "weird", to the point of never introducing themselves to him.
