Reception and legacy

[edit]

In one review, Too Loud was described as a show which those of all ages can enjoy, especially "its message about the value of libraries."[6]

Vivienne Medrano, who worked on the series as an animator[7] and character designer,[8] referred to her experience on Too Loud as a "delight".[9] Another animator for the series, Ashley Nichols, has worked as an animator on Colaleo's Ollie & Scoops and on the pilot episode of Medrano's own series, Hazbin Hotel.[10]

In September 2019, series creator Nico Colaleo described the episode "Slumber Party Sneak-In" as important, arguing that it was his favorite episode of the show's second season, and a "pro-transgender episode."[11][12] It was later revealed that the episode was supposed to be the final episode of the series, but DreamWorks had posted it too soon.[13]
