Quote: Eddie Valiant:

"Toons.  Gets 'em every time."

This live action/animated feature is truly one of kind with the exception of Space Jam(but not really).  It has a bundle of oldies cartoons from the Golden Age and is set in the 1940s.  It's mysterious, dramatic, crazy, and the acting is pretty fantastic considering they were working with "cartoons".  I can't get over how insane and trippy Tune Town is, and how  the Acme devices from the old cartoons were incorporated in the film.  This movie really brings the old spirit of cartoons back into the viewer and makes them more real than ever, even if it's slightly cheesy because it was made in the 80s.  WATCH IT!  OH NO! THE DIP!
