youtu.be/2V18HKAgO5cThis video reveals more details about the cast of the reboot. It looks like Sweetie will be joining Buster, Babs, Plucky and Hampton as one of the main characters, but oddly enough, Candi Milo is not reprising her role as her despite being in the cast. Also, it was noted that Elmyra will be in this reboot after all with Cree Summer reprising her role. They didn’t say anything about Fifi, but I would assume she’ll be in it, and Kath Soucie will reprise her role. It also looks like the characters are going to have much different personalities than they did in the original. What do you think on this new info?

Well, I knew they said they would try to give the characters individual personalities so they are more than just, at least at face value, "Looney Tunes Jr."
I know the Looney Tunes haven't had the most exposure especially to kids right now so this could work to their advantage.

So I just saw the first two episodes of Tiny Toon Looniversity. I will say, it certainly feels much different than the original.
Buster and Babs seem much closer to each other than they were in the original, and Buster’s rivalry with Plucky is a lot more like a real rivalry rather than Buster always winning, and I still ponder the choice of adding Sweetie to the main cast instead of Shirley and Fifi. Hampton is pretty much the same. The rest of the Tiny Toons we know and love are there, but they’re pretty much just standing in the background looking clueless, but once in a while, one will jump in and say something. No sign of Elmyra…yet.
Also, it looks like each episode is one full story rather than three shorts.
All I gotta say is…we waited 30 years for this? Well, so far, it’s not as good as the original, but I’m willing to give it the benefit of a doubt and continue to watch it and see if it improves.

Things are clearly going to be different because times changed since the early 90s.
I haven't watched it yet, but I look forward to it.

I'm also going to add that at least Shirley and Fifi were going to be on the show without question.
Remember for the 2020 Animaniacs series, they did cut Hello Nurse and Minerva Mink from the show.

I hear there is a new Raccoon character, isn’t there!? I haven’t seen nor heard of one yet, bab. I don’t know how many episodes are on Max right now since I’m watching them as they air on CN. That being said, if you guys would avoid revealing any spoilers until after their US air date on CN, I would appreciate it.

I am aware they are resetting the series with Tiny Toons Looniversity, and I think the fact that most of the characters are now voiced by still-active voice actors is probably testament to that.
On one of my clubs on Facebook, the founder of the Tiny Toons club there posted this:
The noticeable changes in Tiny Toons Looniversity are: * Sweetie was just a background extra in the original and now a main character * Babs’ best friends were Shirley & Fifi in the original and now she’s best friends with Sweetie * Lola Bunny was not in the original * Buster & Babs were not related in the original and now they’re twin siblings * Shirley doesn’t say “like” all the time anymore * Hamton never had a stutter in the original * Plucky hated Acme Loo on the original but now studies harder * Saul the Sheepdog looks more like his Looney Tunes counterpart now than what he did in the original * Fifi was mostly undressed in the original and now she wears a turtleneck * Acme Loo’s rival school was originally Perfecto Prep and is now “Aqua Loo” * Roderick Rat used to attend Perfecto Prep and is now a Acme Loo student * Buster & Babs lived in Burrowville and have moved to Acme Acres to attend Acme Loo. In the original they lived in Acme Acres * Hamton’s mother is called “Joan Swhinefeld (her maiden name) and is a totally different mother than the original. His original mother was named Winnie Pig and there is no sign of his father * Buster & Babs’ mother B’Shara Bunny was NOT in the original. Babs’ mother had orange fur and Buster’s parents were never in sight. B’Shara is a single mother. Babs had a mother and father in the original. Nothing was mention about Buster’s parents (except his mother in a old commercial) * The fast food place “Weenie Burger” is not in Tiny Toons Looniversity * Furrball talks a lot more than he did in the original (which was very rare) * Babs doesn’t do impressions in the new show * Buster went as Buster J. Bunny in the original and now he is called Buster Filmore Bunny * Plucky’s name is revealed to be Cruciferous Von Mallard Duck in the new show and seems to be from a rich family. Plucky was just Plucky Duck in a regular family in the original. * No Wackyland
