It was the first animated series by Warner Bros.

Spin-off media include magazines, toys, video games, and home media releases. ''[[The Plucky Duck Show]]'', a spin-off television series, was created for [[Fox Kids]] and ran for one season. A second spin-off series, ''[[Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain]]'' ran on [[Kids' WB]] for one season. A [[Reboot (fiction)|reboot/revival series]], ''[[Tiny Toons Looniversity]]'', was released on September 8, 2023, on [[Max (streaming service)|Max]] and then premiered the next day, on September 9, on [[Cartoon Network]]. ==Premise== ===Setting=== ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' is a cartoon set in the fictional town of "Acme Acres", where most of the ''Tiny Toons'' and ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' characters live. The characters attend "Acme Looniversity", a school whose faculty primarily consists of the mainstays of the classic [[Warner Bros.]] cartoons, such as [[Bugs Bunny]], [[Daffy Duck]], [[Porky Pig]], [[Sylvester the Cat]], [[Wile E. Coyote]] and [[Elmer Fudd]]. In the series, the university is founded to teach cartoon characters how to become funny. The school is not featured in every episode, as not all of its storylines revolve around the school. Like ''[[Looney Tunes]]'', the series makes use of [[cartoon physics|cartoon violence]] (e.g. [[Anvil gag|anvils]] falling on someone, liberal use of explosives) and [[slapstick]]. The series parodies and references the current events of the early 1990s and [[Cinema of the United States|Hollywood]] culture. Occasionally, episodes delve into veiled ethical and morality stories of [[ecology]], [[self-esteem]], and [[crime]]. ===Characters=== {{Main|List of Tiny Toon Adventures characters}} [[File:Promo tiny toon .jpg|left|thumb|210px|Artwork displaying a majority of the [[List of characters in Tiny Toon Adventures|''Tiny Toon'' cast]].]] <!--please don't re-add the list to this section; see talk page--> The series centers on a group of young cartoon characters who attend a school called [[Acme Looniversity]] to be the next generation of ''Looney Tunes'' characters. Most of the Tiny Toons were designed to resemble younger versions of Warner's ''Looney Tunes'' characters by exhibiting similar traits and looks. The main characters are Buster and Babs Bunny, two young rabbits with "no relation", their friends, Plucky Duck and Hamton J. Pig, and antagonists Elmyra Duff and Montana Max. They are accompanied by a wide variety of supporting and recurring characters, such as Dizzy Devil, Furrball, Gogo Dodo, Calamity Coyote, Little Beeper, Sweetie Bird, Fifi La Fume, Shirley the Loon, Li'l Sneezer, Byron Basset, Concord Condor, Fowlmouth, Arnold the Pit Bull, Mary Melody, and Bookworm, among others. Feeding off the characters are the more traditional Looney Tunes including (but not limited to) [[Bugs Bunny]], [[Daffy Duck]], and [[Porky Pig]]. Most of the adults teach classes at Acme Looniversity and serve as mentors to the Tiny Toons while others fill secondary positions as needed. ==Production== ===Development=== According to writer [[Paul Dini]], ''Tiny Toons'' (originally title ''Tiny Tunes'') originated as an idea by [[Terry Semel]], the then-president of [[Warner Bros.]], who wanted to "inject new life into the [[Warner Bros. Animation]] department", and at the same time create a series with junior versions of [[List of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters|Looney Tunes characters]]. Semel proposed that the new series would be a show based on ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' where the characters were either young versions of the original ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[Merrie Melodies]]'' characters or new characters as the offspring of the original characters.<ref name="creation">{{Cite magazine |last=Miller |first=Bob |date=1990 |title=NEW TOONS ON THE BLOCK: They're attending Acme Looniversity & hoping to graduate as classic cartoon characters |url=http://www.framwinkle.com/tta/TTAArticles/ComicsScene15/ |magazine=Comic Scene |publisher=[[Starlog|Starlog Group]] |pages=33β39, 68 |issue=15}}</ref> The idea of a series with the basis of younger and junior versions of cartoon characters was common at the time; the era in which ''Tiny Toons'' was produced for had such cartoons as ''[[Muppet Babies (1984 TV series)|Muppet Babies]]'', ''[[A Pup Named Scooby-Doo]]'' (which Ruegger worked on), ''[[Tom & Jerry Kids]]'' and ''[[The Flintstone Kids]]''.

Animation studio approached [[Steven Spielberg]] to collaborate with Semel and [[Warner Bros.]] head of licensing Dan Romanelli on Semel's ideas.<ref name="creation" /> They eventually decided that the new characters would be similar to the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' characters with no direct relation. As series producer/show-runner Tom Ruegger explained: "Well, I think in [[Warner Bros.]] case, they had the opportunity to work with Steven Spielberg] on a project [...] But he didn't want to just work on characters that [[Chuck Jones]], [[Friz Freleng]], [[Robert McKimson|Bob McKimson]] and [[Bob Clampett]] made famous and created. He wanted to be involved with the creation of some ''new'' characters." The result was a series similar to ''Looney Tunes'' without the use of the same characters.<ref name="creation" /> However, ''Tiny Toons'' did not go into production then, nor was it even planned to be made for television; the series initially was to be a [[theatrical]] [[feature-length film]].<ref name="creation" /><ref name="collab" /> On December 27, 1988, ''Tiny Toons'' was changed from a film to a television series, with [[Jean MacCurdy]] overseeing production of the first 65 episodes.<ref name="creation" /> MacCurdy said that ''Tiny Toons'' was changed to a television series to "reach a broader audience".<ref name="collab" /> For the series, MacCurdy hired [[Tom Ruegger]], who previously wrote for [[Filmation]] and [[Hanna-Barbera]], to produce.<ref name="creation" /> In January 1989, Ruegger and writer [[Wayne Kaatz]] began developing the characters and the setting of "Acme Acres" with Spielberg.<ref name="creation" /> On January 9, 1989, [[Warner Bros.

After a successful run in syndication, Fox attained the rights for season 3. Production of the series halted in late 1992 to make way for ''[[Animaniacs]]'' to air the following year. ===Writers=== The series and characters were developed by series producer, head writer and cartoonist [[Tom Ruegger]], division leader [[Jean MacCurdy]], associate producer and artist Alfred Gimeno and story editor/writer [[Wayne Kaatz]]. Among the series' first writers were [[Jim Reardon]], [[Tom Minton]] and Eddie Fitzgerald. Other writers included [[Arleen Sorkin]]. The character and scenery designers included Alfred Gimeno, Ken Boyer, [[Dan Haskett]], Karen Haskett and many other artists and directors.

Legendary original Looney Tunes voice actor, [[Mel Blanc]], was initially set to reprise his roles as the classic characters, but due to his death in July 1989, his characters were recast to Alaskey, [[Jeff Bergman]], [[Greg Burson]], and [[Bob Bergen]].<ref name="creation" /> During production of the third season, Adler left the show due to a feud with the producers. Adler was angry that he had not been offered a role in ''[[Animaniacs]]'' while his fellow ''Tiny Toons'' voice actors with smaller roles, such as Paulsen, LaMarche and Welker, were given starring roles in the new series.<ref name="kennedy" /> [[John Kassir]] replaced Adler for the remainder of the show's run (although Adler would eventually return to voice Buster in the cancelled video game, ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures: Defenders of the Universe]]''). Alaskey, voice of Plucky Duck, briefly left for financial reasons, but returned when an agreement was reached with the studio.<ref name="kennedy" /> ===Animation=== In order to complete 65 episodes for the first season, Warner Bros.

''Tiny Toon Adventures'' was made with a higher production value than standard television animation. It had a [[cel]] count that was more than double that of most animated television shows then.<ref name="creation" /> The series had about 25,000 cels per episode instead of the standard 10,000, making it unique in that characters moved more fluidly.<ref name="creation" /> Animation producer [[Pierre DeCelles]] described storyboarding for the series as "fun but a big challenge because I always had a short schedule, and it's not always easy to work full blast nonstop". ===Music=== During development, Spielberg said that Warner Bros. would use a full orchestra, which some thought too expensive and impossible, but they ended up agreeing. Warner Bros. selected [[Bruce Broughton]] to write the theme tune (for which he would win a [[Daytime Emmy]] alongside Ruegger and Kaatz) and serve as [[music supervisor]]. Screen credits for the composers were given based on the amount of music composed for, or composed and reused in, the episode. Twenty-six other composers were contracted to create original dramatic underscore for each episode: Julie and [[Steven Bernstein (musician)|Steve Bernstein]], [[Steven Bramson]], [[Don Davis (composer)|Don Davis]], [[John Debney]], Ron Grant, [[Les Hooper]], Carl Johnson, Elliot Kaplan, Arthur Kempel, Ralph Kessler, Albert Lloyd Olson, [[Hummie Mann]], [[Dennis McCarthy (composer)|Dennis McCarthy]], [[Joel McNeely]], Peter Myers, [[Laurence Rosenthal]], [[William Ross (composer)|William Ross]], [[Arthur B. Rubinstein]], J. Eric Schmidt, David Slonaker, [[Fred Steiner]], [[Morton Stevens]], [[Richard Stone (composer)|Richard Stone]], [[Stephen James Taylor]] and [[Mark Watters]]. The composers conducted their own music. Of these composers, Broughton, Bramson, Davis, Olson, Stone, Taylor and Watters wrote the score to ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation|How I Spent My Vacation]]''. These composers would later write the musical scores for shows including ''[[Animaniacs]]'' and ''[[The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries]].'' ==Episodes== {{main|List of Tiny Toon Adventures episodes}} {{:List of Tiny Toon Adventures episodes}} ===Films and television specials=== A feature-length [[film]] was released [[direct-to-video]] in 1992, entitled ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation]]''.<ref name="Lenburg1999">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Specials |encyclopedia=The Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons |publisher=Checkmark Books |location=New York, New York |url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780816038312 |last=Lenburg |first=Jeff |date=1999 |edition=2 |pages=336 |isbn=0816038317}}</ref> This was later re-edited and aired as part of the series.

A few days later, on July 15, [[Jeff Bergman]] confirmed that he would be returning to the series as well, voicing [[Bugs Bunny]], [[Sylvester the Cat|Sylvester]], and [[Foghorn Leghorn]]. He went into detail on the characters' roles in the series, explaining Foghorn would occupy as Acme Looniversity's coach, while Bugs would take on a "[[Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]]-like" personality.

Numerous pieces of concept art were shown, revealing a revamped Acme Looniversity and its interiors. This also confirmed many of the original series' major characters would be returning, some with updated appearances. Most notably, Elmyra was included in one of these pictures, disproving the claims of her removal. Some have suggested this meant Elmyra was added back at some point or was always intended to appear. Spielberg referred to the series as "the best iteration of ''Tiny Toons'' he'd ever seen".<ref name=gizmodo/> Character design supervisor Leonard Lee and showrunner Erin Gibson confirmed that Buster and Babs would be presented as twin siblings in the reboot, as opposed to best friends and potential romantic partners. This decision was criticized by fans of the original series.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/animanicast/photos/a.2293685797601235/2937018433267965/?type=3&theater The Animanicast post]</ref><ref>[https://screenrant.com/acme-looniversity-tiny-toon-twin-retcon-comic-con/ Tiny Toons' Controversial Babs Bunny Retcon Is All Sorts Of Weird]</ref> A July 2022 interview had crew members giving more details.

Gibson provided an explanation behind the choice to make Buster and Babs related, saying, "They're fraternal twins, which was not an original plot point. I wanted to dive into a brother/sister relationship that looked really symbiotic and collaborative and supportive, not antagonistic. Seeing two people who are really on the same page, and then how do people who are so close make new friends? You know, find out who they are by these new relationships β these new college experiences while still having fun and doing the dumbest stuff you'll ever see on TV, but having story and plot points and character development." [[Nate Cash]] added, "And they look up to the faculty, they're established Tunes who are like their gods, but then they're like, 'Who am I?' and 'What's my voice?' β which is a cool place to develop them as their own characters and not just mini versions of their counterparts."
