In the premiere, \"Loud Mouth Librarians,\" Miz Abbott needs help finding the most obscure book in all of Chestertown, giving the pair a chance to use their large heads to save the day. In \"No Talking Allowed!\" the Mayor of Chestertown threatens to shut down the library because he cannot handle how loud Jeffrey and Sara are, and in \"Snowed In\" the siblings and Miz Abbott are trapped in the library under an avalanche.[3](https://www.peacocktv.com/watch-online/tv/too-loud/7304630027940547112/seasons/1)\n\n## Production and release\n\nSeason 1 ran weekly on YouTube from July 9 to August 14, 2017, with six episodes.[2](https://www.thetvdb.com/series/too-loud) A second and final season of ten episodes premiered on September 18, 2019 and concluded on November 20, 2019.[2](https://www.thetvdb.com/series/too-loud) • [6](https://www.tvtime.com/show/332596) Episodes run about five minutes, a length Colaleo chose deliberately; he later said he planned to make his next series, Ollie & Scoops, five minutes per episode as well because \"that's easy,\" though its scripts grew longer.[5](https://www.toonboom.com/nico-colaleo-on-showrunning-ollie-scoops)\n\n**Crew and cast.** Colaleo served as creator, writer, director, and art director, and voiced Jeffrey.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7121818/) • [8](https://www.marielumart.com/too-loud) Kelsy Abbott voiced Sara and [Gregg Turkington](https://www.edgepedia.org/gregg-turkington) voiced Miz Abbott across both seasons.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7121818/) The supporting cast included Emily Brundige as Molly, Matt Brailey as Patrick, Rich Evans as Logan, and Chris Dotson as the Mayor.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7121818/) Vivienne Medrano, later known as the creator of [Hazbin Hotel](https://www.edgepedia.org/hazbin-hotel) and [Helluva Boss](https://www.edgepedia.org/helluva-boss), worked on the series as an animator and character designer and voiced a character named Sarah in six 2019 episodes.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7121818/) Paul Fraser was composer and sound designer on season 1 and songwriter on season 2.[7](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5baeabfb840b160966e3ea03/t/5c40be2a7ba7fc301140ae89/1547746858734/Paul_Fraser_Animation_Advertising_011718.pdf)\n\n## The \"Slumber Party Sneak-In\" episode\n\nIn September 2019, Colaleo described the season 2 episode \"Slumber Party Sneak-In,\" in which Jeffrey finds a way to sneak into a girls-only slumber party, as important, calling it his favorite episode of the second season and a \"pro-transgender episode.\"[5](https://www.toonboom.com/nico-colaleo-on-showrunning-ollie-scoops) • [6](https://www.tvtime.com/show/332596)\n\n## Reception and comparison with The Loud House\n\nThe series holds a 5.0/10 rating on IMDb based on 106 user votes.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7121818/) Because the title contains the word \"loud\" and the main characters are boys with extremely light-colored hair, the show has often been accused of ripping off the [Nickelodeon](https://www.edgepedia.org/nickelodeon) series [The Loud House](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-loud-house); IMDb's trivia entry describes these accusations as erroneous, noting that other than those surface similarities the two shows differ in plot and characters.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7121818/)\n\nColaleo has said the series was intended to promote kindness, compassion, and characters caring about each other, and that he learned from Too Loud to give his later shows a more diverse cast.[5](https://www.toonboom.com/nico-colaleo-on-showrunning-ollie-scoops) After the series ended he created the independent, self-funded series Ollie & Scoops, and Too Loud was referenced in that show's fourth episode in 2019.[5](https://www.toonboom.com/nico-colaleo-on-showrunning-ollie-scoops) • [1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7121818/)\n\n## Availability\n\nThe complete series is available for streaming on Peacock, which carries both seasons under its Peacock Kids category, and on the DreamWorksTV Amazon Channel.[3](https://www.peacocktv.com/watch-online/tv/too-loud/7304630027940547112/seasons/1) • [4](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/too-loud)\n\n## References\n\n1.
