\u201cwhat were the Goodfeathers segments of Animaniacs about, were kids supposed to recognize these gangster movies\u201d

I dunno were the original Looney Tunes kid viewers supposed to recognize the pre-Code Edward G. Robinson \u201cnyaa\u201d gangster movies?

(like how the Rita & the Runt bits mapped to the way Looney Tunes riffed off famous movie musicals)

The whole point of Spielberg (as a producer) was reactionary, he recasted his 50s childhood compatible with 80s-90s adulthood

You know who saw that and tried to live up to the promise, to reconcile musicals and Hollywood tradition and everything to the real post-Reagan culture?
