WithSteven Spielberg serving as executive producer, the new characters were modeled onLooney Tunes characters but shared no familial relationship. The project was developed as an animated film for two years before being reworked into a television series. After character design sessions and story meetings, production began in April 1989 and concluded in 1991, with Spielberg approving every production aspect of each episode.

Originally titledTiny Tunes,[4][6] the series was conceived byWarner Bros. presidentTerry Semel, who wanted to revitalizeWarner Bros. Animation by creating a show based on theLooney Tunes series. He envisioned a story where the characters were either young versions or offspring of the originalLooney Tunes andMerrie Melodies characters.[7] In 1987, Warner Bros. approachedAmblin Entertainment chairmanSteven Spielberg to develop a film based on Semel's concept.[4][8] During discussions withTom Ruegger, Spielberg wanted the new characters to resemble the older characters and reflect the sensibilities of the 1990s.[9] Ruegger and Spielberg decided that the new characters would be similar to theLooney Tunes characters but with no relation, with Spielberg involved with the creation of several of them.[10]
Warner Bros. Animation initially plannedTiny Toon Adventures as an animated film, developing the project for two years.[7] By December 1988, the studio had turned the project into a television series.[10] In January 1989, Spielberg announced the series, and a 100-member production team was organized.[6][8] After three days of discussions between Ruegger, Warner Bros. Animation presidentJean MacCurdy, and animatorMitch Schauer, new characters were created; their names were finalized by Eddie Fitzgerald, Tom Minton, and Jim Reardon.[4][11] Animator Ken Boyer developed the series bible and designed 14 characters with a few modifications by other artists.[11][12] Spielberg approved the concept and its new characters,[4][11] which were finished in one week.[12]
Production ofTiny Toon Adventures began in April 1989.[8] Warner Bros. Animation established several production units modeled on the studio's theatrical shorts system.[13] Working at a pace three to four times faster than the previous Warner Bros. shorts, each unit had a director supervising the production of selected episodes.[13][14] To follow the tradition of Warner Bros. shorts,[15] many artists who had produced television animation in other studios had to be reeducated to achieve a "free-form" style for the series.[16] The production process for each episode took 34 weeks,[8] including four to six weeks of preparation,[17] 14 weeks of pre-production,[8] and four to six weeks of post-production,[18] at an estimated cost of $400,000 per episode.[19] Steven Spielberg was involved with the development, personalities, and designs of the characters as well as the overview of the series.[20] Each production aspect required Spielberg's approval, and he wrote notes to the production team whenever he declined any.[4][8][20]
Warner Bros.' animation department produced the series with a budget of $25 million for the first season.[a] Production of the first season spanned a year and a half,[4][8][13][20] with the animation department growing from 15 to 120 artists in many weeks.[22][20] Each production unit created approximately 15 episodes during the first season.[13] By late October 1990, the first season was nearly completed,[9] and production concluded in 1991.[23]
In March 1989,Paul Dini was hired as story editor and tasked with developing the show's characters.[11] Later that year, Sherri Stoner joined Dini as story editor, with the two writing stories together in sessions.[24] The series was originally intended to consist of three six-minute shorts per episode, but ended up varying, ranging from a set of shorts to half-hour episodes.[16][25] The episode "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian" was co-written by Renee Carter, Amy Crosby, and Sarah Creek, who were fans of the series and in eighth grade at the time.[26][27]
Because the series did not focus onBugs Bunny,Daffy Duck, and otherLooney Tunes characters, the writing process during development was difficult.[28] Characters such as theTasmanian Devil andFoghorn Leghorn were developed to represent adults who "talk too much or are stick-in-the-mud types" as foils for the Tiny Toons.[28] Because the series wassyndicated, the writers could use physical humor that would be restricted by networks runningSaturday-morning cartoons.[19] Despite this creative freedom, Spielberg declined to letMontana Max and other characters use handguns and rifles.[19] War toys, tanks, and bombs were also not allowed, with violence kept strictly toanvils and dynamite.[8] To emphasize the show's humor, the writers entertained themselves by adding their own jokes, relying heavily on dialogue to propel the characters.[29]Adult humor was also applied to continue the legacy ofLooney Tunes.[20]
Besides the main cast, most one-off and background characters are voiced byJim Cummings,Jeff Bergman,Noel Blanc andGreg Burson.[30]

Voice directorAndrea Romano auditioned between 600 to 1,200 voice actors in less than three months, choosing several actors after a long casting process.[8][11] Recording sessions began in 1989 at B&B Sound inBurbank, California.[11][17] Ruegger and Romano sat in the studio and directed the actors, with an animation director joining them when scheduling permitted.[32] Some episodes were re-recorded with a different readings to revise the dialogue and the tone of the performances.[32]
Adler was cast asBuster Bunny for the first two seasons due to the energy he brought to the character.[11] MacNeille was selected to voice Babs because of her extensive vocal range, which supported the character's voice impressions.[11] Cooksey used a "tremendous mean voice" forMontana Max by screaming frequently.[33]
Before auditioning for Dizzy, LaMarche had wanted to work on a project produced by Spielberg, but was less optimistic about his chances because he felt he resembled a "shloob".[34]Mel Blanc was initially considered to reprise hisLooney Tunes roles; several of them were recast withJeff Bergman following Blanc's death in 1989.[11] Bergman, Alaskey, Noel and Burson alternated voicing otherLooney Tunes characters.[30][35] Guest vocalcameo performances were provided by actors includingVincent Price andCarol Kane.[33]
During development, Boyer created the original designs,model sheets, poses, and turnarounds of 14 characters by emphasizing their heads and feet, with Gimeno assisting with character design and Ruegger suggesting the "demented" design of Sweetie Pie.[11][12] Two character designs for Hamton J. Pig were created by Boyer and Jeff Pidgeon.[12] Pidgeon's design was ultimately selected to differentiate the character fromPorky Pig.[12] To allow Hamton J. Pig to scratch his head, approved model sheets were discarded to alter his proportions.[36]
Approximately 50 people worked onstoryboards, color keys, and character models,[37] including storyboard artists Reardon, Minton, and Fitzgerald.[38] Storyboard artists were assigned by an episode's director to illustrate one-act panels for two weeks.[39] After the storyboards were finished, they were reviewed by Boyer and sent to Amblin for approval.[16] Spielberg declined the storyboards of some episodes, demanding that the episodes be rewritten.[16]
Layout work was carried out over a two-week period, during which drawings were synchronized with the vocal performances, while key poses that included up to 40 drawings for some scenes were rendered.[40][41] During this stage, Boyer revised the storyboards by drawing thumbnail poses to fix missing beats.[32] In some episodes, the episode's director also served as the layout supervisor, overseeing the registration, field size, and backgrounds.[32] Background designer Ted Blackman recreated the visual style of backgrounds from late 1940sLooney Tunes shorts.[42]
With the use of 25,000cels per episode instead of the standard 10,000 cels,Tiny Toon Adventures was made with a higher production value than standard television animation, allowing for more fluid movements.[33] The animation also included a broader palette of colors than typical television cartoons, as well as fluid camera techniques and more detailed character textures.[9] However, time and speed constraints meant that the budget was insufficient for Warner Bros. Animation to in-between, paint, and clean up the animation in-house.[13] The animation was completed at other animation studios contracted by Warner Bros., includingTokyo Movie Shinsha in Japan,[32]AKOM in South Korea,[32] Kennedy Cartoons in Canada,[32]Wang Film Productions in Taiwan,[43][44][32] andStarToons inChicago (with ink and paint services provided by an animation studio inSeoul).[45]
To overcome language barriers with overseas studios, director Art Leonardi helped animators understand his intentions by acting out every scene and explaining back lighting and shadow effects on videotape.[46] For two days, a director collected backgrounds, layouts, models, and keys for shipment, checked exposure sheets against layouts, and delivered them to the overseas studios.[16] The animation—including in-between drawings, cleanup animation, painted cels, and camera shots—took between 14 weeks to four months to finish.[4][8][32] In some episodes, scenes were retaken due to issues such as errors in character designs, mistimed actions, wrong colors, or a character speaking another character's dialogue.[47] After examination by Ruegger and an episode director, an animation checker sent notes to the studio to fix any mistakes.[18]
StarToons provided the main animation for the episode "Henny Youngman Day" and contributed five to six minutes of animation for 18 other episodes.[45] Warner Bros. executives were impressed with Startoons's work, with Ruegger comparing StarToons's character animation to work done byChuck Jones.[45] In particular, StarToons's animation for the episode "Henny Youngman Day" was seen as a parallel to uncommon poses and expressions from Jones's cartoons in the late 1940s and early 1950s.[45] The completed animation was shot at Kinetics Camera Service in Chicago.[45]
Tiny Toon Adventures was among the few animated television series at the time that used an originalscore for each episode.[18][33] The series's main composer wasBruce Broughton. After an episode's animation was produced, a videotape copy was prepared for Broughton.[18] The episode's director or one of their assistants then reviewed the episode with Broughton and discussed the desired musical mood, instrumentation, and sound effects.[18] Under Broughton's supervision, one to three sessions were recorded using a 27-player orchestra per week,[48][b] with nosynthesizers used and no musical cues recycled from other cartoons.[4]
During post-production, the musical score and sound effects were mixed into each episode, and retakes were substituted for original shots in the print.[18] Technicians then completed an episode by cleaning up dirt, removing scratches, and balancing the color of an episode's print on thetelecine.[18]
Tiny Toon Adventures spawned several tie-ins and merchandise items. In September 1990,JCPenney released children's clothing and other merchandise based on the series.[52] In the same month, parties featuring costumed performers portrayingBuster Bunny,Babs Bunny, andDizzy Devil were held at thePompano Fashion Square,Palm Beach Mall, andBoynton Beach Mall.[52] Also in the same month,Landmark Books released theTiny Toon Adventures book series, aimed at children aged 2 to 9.[53] In 1991,Quaker Oats Company had a tie-in with the series that featured cut-outs and activities.[54]
The series premiered with the episode "The Looney Beginning", which aired as aprime-time television special onCBS on September 14, 1990.[55] Most of the first season was broadcast infirst-run syndication across 135 television stations, starting on September 17, 1990.[55][56] The third and final season ofTiny Toon Adventures was broadcast onFox starting on September 14, 1992.[57] Two television specials also aired on Fox after theseries finale. The first special, "Tiny Toon Spring Break", aired on March 27, 1994;[50] the second special, "Tiny Toons' Night Ghoulery", aired on May 28, 1995.[58] Reruns of the series continued to air on Fox until September 11, 1995.[59] The series later moved toNickelodeon and aired reruns from September 24, 1995, to September 1997.[60][61] In September 1997, it was moved to theKids' WB programming block.[61]
In 1994,Warner Home Video released three volumes of the series onVHS, with each containing two episodes.[62] The firstDVD release,Tiny Toon Adventures: Season 1, Volume 1, was released on July 29, 2008.[63][64] A second DVD set,Tiny Toon Adventures: Season 1, Volume 2, was released on May 5, 2009.[65]
The first episode, "The Looney Beginning", received a 6.9Nielsen rating (totaling 11.9 million viewers and a 13% share), ranking 72nd on the prime-time television ratings chart for the week of September 10–16, 1990.[66] Throughout its first season,Tiny Toon Adventures ranked as the third highest-rated television show during the first four weeks of the1990–91 television season,[67] became the highest-rated afternoon program in November 1990 and February 1991,[68] replacedTaleSpin as the highest-rated syndicated children's program,[9] and surpassed the ratings ofTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,DuckTales, andTaleSpin to become the highest-rated children's afternoon program.[69] By November 1990, the series averaged a 37% audience share among children and a 24% share among teenagers.[70]
During its third season, the show increased its ratings on Fox's programming blockFox Kids,[71] tying at number five withThe Addams Family on the chart of the most successful Saturday morning television series during the1992–93 television season.[72] In its first three weeks, the series ranked as the highest-rated television program among children aged six to eleven, earning a 7.1 Nielsen rating, and the second highest-rated program among teens (behindBatman: The Animated Series), earning a 4.4 Nielsen rating.[71] The series finale, "It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special", received a 6.2 Nielsen rating, ranking 90th on the Nielsen Ratings chart for the week of November 30 to December 6, 1992.[73]
After the series ended, it continued to receive high ratings in reruns. In 1993,Tiny Toon Adventures was viewed by 1.4 million children on Fox and consistently ranked near the top of the Nielsen charts for children aged two to eleven.[74][75] By December, it ranked among the top five highest-rated weekday afternoon programs.[76] In 1994, the series was placed within the top five highest-rated television shows for children aged two to eleven.[29] On the Nielsen Ratings chart for the week ending on March 27, 1994, the special "Tiny Toon Spring Break" received a 4.3 Nielsen rating (totaling 7.7 million viewers), tying at 84th place withSinbad Special 1 on the chart.[77][78]
Tiny Toon Adventures received generally positive reviews from critics. Most reviewers, such as television critic Jon Burlingame,[79] Noel Holston of theMinnesota Star Tribune,[68] and Bill Mann of theOakland Tribune, praised its animation.[21] Janice Kennedy ofThe Vancouver Sun called the series a "lovingly-crafted piece of artistry", deeming it "superior to most of the material churned by today's animators."[80]Times Colonist's Rick Forchuk lauded the characters as "beautifully drawn",[81] while Steve McKerrow ofThe Evening Sun wrote that the series "looks as good or better than the old, pre-feature movie shorts."[82] In a less complimentary review, animation historianCharles Solomon ofThe Los Angeles Times was critical of the animation and its originality, disliking what he described as "dull" explosions and expressions as well as Art Vitello's timing.[83]
Several critics highlighted the techniques used in the series. Holston focused on its cinematic techniques, such as "mixing long shots, extra-tight closeups, and odd perspectives."[68] Kennedy called attention to the show's contrast with previous Warner Bros. shorts and their techniques, such as the higher number of animated frames per minute, the use of live orchestration, and the application of the "wisdom of old masters."[80] Television critic Chip Sudderth lauded the show's appeal to both adults and children,[84] while Holston compared its appeal to adults to that ofTaleSpin.[68]
Some aspects received mixed reviews. Sudderth praised the voice acting as "expressive and distinctive",[84] whereas Mann criticizedPlucky Duck's voice, deeming it "a bit disconcerting" and "a bad version ofMel Blanc ['s] [Daffy Duck]."[21] While Forchuk praised the writing as "more interesting and complex",[81] Sudderth regarded the thirty-minute stories as inferior to episodes structured around three shorts.[84] Ranking the series as the "best afternoon [cartoon] show", Thelma Scumm ofAnimato! nonetheless was critical of the show's quality, satire, and repetitive focus on morals.[85] In contrast, Alanna Mitchell ofThe Globe and Mail ranked it as the worst children's television show.[75] In January 2009,IGN rankedTiny Toon Adventures 41st in their Top 100 Animated TV Shows list.[86]

On October 28, 1991, a Warner Bros. employee discovered that background artwork and cels of the characters from the series had been sold at aflea market inOrange County, California, without the studio's authorization.[103] As only 250 cels had been officially released for sale at a studio store, the employee notified his supervisors about the incident.[103] Warner Bros. privately investigated the incident without involving the police.[103]
Warner Bros. identified five individuals who stole the cels,[104] including three suspects who sold the material at flea markets in Orange County,San Diego County, andLas Vegas.[103] According to court records, privately filmed videotapes proved that suspects Travis Cowsill and Nicolette Harley had separately met private investigator Kevin Berman to sell cels from the series.[103] Cowsill stated that he had stole materials while working as a freelance animator after finding out that some boxes were marked for disposal.[103][104] Warner Bros. disputed this claim, stating that they were not meant for disposal and were to be kept indefinitely.[103][104]
Warner Bros. filed fivelawsuits against the defendants forcopyright infringement.[103][104] Three of the civil suits were settled after the defendants had their cels seized in their apartments by a court raid and agreed to cooperate with the investigation, leaving the remaining two civil suits pending.[103][104] On December 26, 1991, Warner Bros. announced that it had recovered more than 3,000 pieces of background artwork and cels from the series valued at over $500,000. Three cels remained missing and were believed to have been sold by collectors.[103][104]
Originally planned as a theatrical release,[105] the feature-length filmTiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation was releaseddirect-to-video on March 11, 1992, onVHS andLaserdisc.[105][106] It was later re-edited and broadcast as part of the television series, airing on September 5, 1993, onFox Kids.[107] It was released onDVD on August 21, 2012.[108]
