Depends what you mean by golden age. In terms of sheer sum of quality, agreed. In terms of maximal amount of quality, and/or affect on the public psyche, Looney Tunes really does hold the mantle. Kids today aren't familiar with a lot of 90s cartoons (though they're familiar with a lot of the characters from other media. But to draw the distinction, what kid today knows who Jubilee is? She was a major character in the X-men cartoon, but only a bit character in the movies), but even though there hasn't really been anything major by Looney Tunes since Space Jam (there have been a couple of short lived things like the Looney Tunes Show, but hardly anything of note), kids still know who they are.
