I am not the biggest Family Guy fan but I really like the Stewie and Brian Have An Adventure episodes and this was a fun one. My favorite subtle gag was how the scenes in the past weren’t letterboxed.
That took me a second. At first I was wondering what was wrong or why they weren’t broadcasting it (or animating it) in widescreen then I realized it was an old episode (I hadn’t seen the title). I’m curious as to whether or not the used original footage or redid it from scratch though.
As for the time machine gag at the end. SpongeBob did it first, but I can’t seem to find it on youtube. But they did exactly the same way. Spongebob and Patrick went back in time and screwed something up, then a second copy showed up and told them not to screw it up, but the second copy screwed up the same thing and a third copy showed up etc etc etc until there were about 50 copies on the screen at the same time.
Oh my god whats wrong with Meg’s voice, she sounds like someone who is about to a give up a good opportunity. Talking about Lacey Chabert
I enjoy stupid jokes like that.
I’m pretty sure it’s a mixture. The fake old stuff and the real old stuff don’t have the same quality. For example, there are definitely points where Stewie goes off-model, like in the original. Yet nothing goes off-model in any subsequent scene.
I also thought they did a much better job converting a cartoon to CGI. They really just looked like CGI versions of themselves.
I thought it was pretty cool of them to revisit Season 1 style animation. The CGI scene looked more like 1996 than 2016.
I’m surprised they didn’t comment on how Stewie has been a baby for over 12 years. 
I liked the implication that it’s possible to replicate the success of the entire Harry Potter series based on a couple of minutes of explanation.
I think the writers messed up on that one. Brian and Stewie went back in time to 1999, but the first Harry Potter book came out in 1997.
Brain: My god did you carry a thesaurus around with you?
That was funny. Also when the two Stewies were talking to each other the 99 Stewie kept talking in his verbose style.
It was a very very funny episode. I liked all of Animation Domination actually, even the Simpsons.
“I used to have a lot more gadgets and stuff…”
Yeah, but Duckman did it first. Not really, all fiction is built up of tropes, that are redone in newer and more innovative ways. But still, Duckman did it … before.
