• Tiny Toon Adventures paid great tribute to Looney Toons 4 years before The Animaniacs Aired on TV.

Reason: Tiny Toons originated as an idea by Director Steven Spielberg & Terry Semel, then the president of Warner Bros, until 2007, who wanted to inject some new life into the Warner Bros. Animation department, and at the same time create a series with junior versions of Looney Tunes characters, straight from the golden age of animation . Semel proposed that the new series would be a show based on Looney Tunes where the characters were either young versions of the original Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters or new characters as the offsprings of the original characters. Warner Bros. chose to do the same because Spielberg wanted to make a series similar to Looney Tunes, as series producer/show-runner Tom Ruegger explained: "Well, I think in Warner Bros. case, they had the opportunity to work with Steven Spielberg on a project, But he didn't want to just work on characters that Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Bob Mc Kimson and Bob Clampett made famous and created. He wanted to be involved with the creation of some new characters. In the year 1990, the result was a series similar to Looney Tunes, including the long awaitted return of the same characters. Unfortunately, production of the series halted in early 1993 to make way for Animaniacs to air the following year.

• : Eli Roth’s upcoming horror film: “The Great Inferno” will be even scarier and much more faithful to the Cannibal Film genre. Plus it will pay homage to The New World, The Mission & Aguirre The Wrath Of God.

Very Recently, Eli Roth himself is looking to revive a dormant horror genre, the cannibal movie. Once a major export from Italy, cannibal movies have been on the decline for decades. Roth went deep into the Amazon to shoot it, and that while he was there he introduced some native tribes to the 1980s magic of Ruggero Deodato's best known work: Cannibal Holocaust. Also, what he really wanted to create was Something that was much more like a Christopher Columbus-esque kind of movie. He wanted it to look like a latter-day version The New World, The Mission, or Aguirre: The Wrath of God.
