The Tiny Toons is a name of a group of characters created as a collaboration between Warner Brothers Animation and Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment. They appeared on two animated series Tiny Toon Adventures and Tiny Toons Looniversity.

The core characters are young animated characters attending ACME Looniversity, where they being taught by the classic Looney Tunes characters.

They include:

• Buster Bunny- a blue rabbit based on Bugs Bunny
• Babs Bunny- a pink rabbit, also based on Bugs, she and Buster are not related and lovers in the original, but are twins in the revival series.
• Plucky Duck- a green duck based on Daffy Duck
• Hampton J. Pig- a pig loosely based on Porky Pig
• Fifi La Fume- a purple female skunk based on Pepe La Pew
• Dizzy Devil, a purple Tasmanian devil
• Sweetie- a pink bird based on Tweety
• Gogo Dodo- a dodo bird from Wackyland. Based on "The Last Dodo" who appeared in the classic short "Porky in Wackyland".
• Furrball- a blue cat based on Sylvester
• Shirley the Loon- a waterfowl with psychic powers who speaks with a "Valley Girl" accent.
• Lil' Sneezer- a tiny mouse who wears a diaper and emits powerful sneezes.
• Little Beeper- a red chaparral bird based on The Road Runner
• Calamity Coyote- a blue coyote based on Wile E. Coyote
• Arnold- a white pit bull dog based on Arnold Schwarzenegger.
• Montana Max- a rich human boy with a nasty attitude. Loosely based on Yosemite Sam
• Elmyra Duff- a ditzy human girl who loves animals and wants to make them all her pets. She also appeared on Animaniacs and Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain

In addition to the series, there was a direct-to-video movie, "How I Spent My Vacation" and a Christmas special were released in 1992. Two additional specials The Tiny Toons Spring Break Special and Tiny Toons' Night Ghoulery, a Halloween show, were released in 1994 and 1995 respectively. The show ended after it's 3rd season in favor of a new series Animaniacs, which featured much of the same crew. Some fans consider Animaniacs to be spin-off since some of the same characters appear.

In 2023, a reimagining called Tiny Toons Looniversity premiered on the streaming service Max and Cartoon Network. One notable change made is that Buster and Babs are twins.

Fandom

The Tiny Toons fandom is strongly linked to both the Looney Tunes and Animaniacs fandoms and crossovers are very common. Because many of the characters are anthropomorphic animals, it also has a large Furry following especially the character of Fifi La Fume.
