Although a fan of 'Tiny Toon Adventures', and have been for many years, "Inside Plucky Duck" is one of not many segment-structured episodes of the show where the segments are consistent in quality to each other (instead of the oft-seen "some better than others" quality seen in many of the segment-structured episodes). Although "Inside Plucky Duck" is made up of two segments ("Bat's All Folks!" and "Wild Takes Class"), it doesn't feel like two segments and instead like an individual story. Of all the other 'Tiny Toon Adventures' characters they are the only ones that could fill the "take the viewer on a fantastic voyage" type of roles in this way. Buster and Babs also fit their roles perfectly, both have such compelling personalities and like Plucky their comic timing is on point. His superhero persona that he adopts in "Bat's All Folks!" will be so nostalgic and relatable to anybody who was a fan of superheroes when younger and wanted to be one, and really plays to his strengths.
It was both fascinating and entertaining to see his inner thoughts and dreams, seeing how his mind worked. Plucky himself is a sheer delight, zany, great comic timing and easy to relate to. There are some fine Plucky-centric episodes and this is one of the best. While loving it as a child, "Inside Plucky Duck" is even better now in my opinion as a young adult due to getting more out of the premise and understanding the content more. It sounded great on paper and the execution is even greater, a long way from being something with a promising premise gone to waste like is the case too much these days. In fact it is one of my favourite 'Tiny Toon Adventures' episodes. And with Plucky centre stage, how could it go wrong? Go wrong "Inside Plucky Duck" does not. Superhero origin-like stories are always fun, and wild takes too when done well. Few, if any, of 'Tiny Toon Adventures' previous and succeeding episodes delved into a single character's inner thoughts in this way. Even as a child, the premise struck me as one of the show's best and most inventive. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that "Inside Plucky Duck" would be good at the least.
