Unlike some other reviewers, I don't think this is a disgrace to Looney Tunes, but I agree that it's not as good as the original Looney Tunes and not entirely faithful to the source material. It's not without its flaws (more about that later), but it's better than The Looney Tunes Show (2011) and Wabbit. This is one of many prequel shows with the characters as babies or kids that I've come across, and it's not one of the best ones, but it's better than Yo Yogi and Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go (although I don't think the latter is supposed to be a prequel series to Thomas & Friends. It's a non-canon reboot with the characters as kids).
It has a completely different premise in place of the old one, and the characters' personalities may not be as fleshed out as their adult counterparts, but some of them still have a little bit of their original personalities in them. Taz is still the dimwitted "tornado" who eats everything, grunts, and blows raspberries, Daffy Duck is still the short-tempered and hyperactive duck who has a tendency to get jealous of Bugs Bunny and yell "Woo hoo!", Lola Bunny is still the tomboy who is good at sports, etc. Sylvester doesn't try to eat Tweety Bird anymore, but maybe the show would be darker than necessary if he did. I don't know, I can't imagine babies or little kids doing such a thing to each other. However, a couple of the songs from the show mention him trying to catch birds and failing at every attempt. In the original Looney Tunes, Granny smacks Sylvester whenever he picks on Tweety, but I find that so difficult to imagine happening here. She is a benevolent mother (or maybe it'd make more sense to say grandmother) figure, and I like that side to her. Most of the characters' voices sound the same but slightly higher, but that makes perfect sense because that makes them sound like younger versions of themselves, and they are. To put more bread on the table, June Foray has returned as Granny.
The character designs and stories are cute. The babies get into all kinds of appealing childlike shenanigans and adventures, like playing school, making a Mother's Day card for Granny, Sylvester tripping over a towel that wraps around his head and makes everyone else think he's wearing a cool hat, and more. The plots are relatable and perfectly capture childhood innocence. I don't know what else to say about them.
The songs are catchy and sometimes funny. Most of them are parodies of children's songs, but some of them have their own original melodies. My favorite one might have to be either The Looney Riddle or Born to Sing, and both of them have entirely original tunes. The album version of the latter is a little bit longer and mentions some of the Looney Tunes who aren't mentioned in the version from the show and singing about things they do or are into (e.g., it mentions Yosemite Sam singing country music and Pepe Lepew singing love songs), which makes the album version even better! Some of the music videos have nods to the original Looney Tunes that never appear in the main story, like Wile Coyote chasing Roadrunner, Elmer Fudd hunting Bugs Bunny, Pepe Lepew being a lovesick skunk, and more.
If the five Looney Tunes who are most commonly seen on merchandise (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Taz, Tweety Bird, and Sylvester) plus Lola all lived with Granny when the animals were babies, I'm guessing Granny has had Tweety and Sylvester since the two of them were babies (although Tweety is still a baby in the source material. Maybe he's slightly younger here and birds age much slower in the Looney Tunes universe than in real life. I don't know how that works), and Bugs, Daffy, and Taz moved into the woods later. Granny still being old makes sense because she's the babies' guardian, and I think she's supposed to be much older than most of the other characters. These items bring me to my next point.
Like I said, the show is not without its flaws. Lola is one of the main characters, and she and Bugs have known each other since they were babies according to Baby Looney Tunes. However, Lola is not an original Looney Tune, and she and Bugs meet for the first time as adults in Space Jam. Computers, video games, a modern telephone, color TVs, and a Blue's Clues parody are present in various episodes. This is obviously set before the original Looney Tunes as far as I know, and those things didn't exist when the source material was being made. These items make me think maybe Baby Looney Tunes is non-canon. There are a number of Looney Tunes characters who appear in post-episode music videos but never in the episodes themselves, like Yosemite Sam, Gossamer, Marc Anthony, Michigan J. Frog, and even important Looney Tunes like Porky Pig, Roadrunner, and Wile Coyote. Petunia Pig, Porky's girlfriend and a minor character in the source material, appears in both episodes and music videos from time to time, but why not Porky? Also, it's unclear to me as to how old this show is. This page says it ran from 2001-2005, and the episodes' end credits have the same dates in them, but my mother once told me she watched this as a kid. She wasn't a kid during the aforementioned dates, and the modern technology we have today didn't exist when she was a kid. The show would be close to my age if the aforementioned original airdates are the right ones. Maybe this is a reboot of an older show. Anyway, this is still a good show regardless of these flaws.
