The Tiny Toon Adventures (original title: Tiny Toon Adventures ) are an animated series by Warner Bros. , which was produced in collaboration with Steven Spielberg in the early 1990s . The name "Tiny Toon" means tiny cartoon figure.

The figures (Tiny Toons) are based on the world-famous Looney Tunes from Warner Bros., such as B. Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck . Bugs Bunny even has two Tiny Toons, Babs and Buster Bunny (not related), that match him.

In contrast to other series of the time that deal with children's characters from well-known series, such as the Muppet Babies , the Tiny Toons are not children's versions of the originals, but independent characters that the adult Looney Tunes also encounter in the episodes. They act as teachers from the ACME Looniversity, which the Tiny Toons visit in their home, Acme Acres .

background

The series was produced from 1990 to 1992 and had three seasons with a total of 98 episodes and a full-length video ( Total Crazy Holidays ). After the rights went to FOX in 1993 , a 45-minute Halloween and Easter special was produced from 1994 to 1995.

In the German-speaking countries, the first season of the series was initially only shown on the pay-TV channels Premiere and Teleclub . From October 1, 1992, the free TV premiere followed on ProSieben . Seasons two and three had their German premiere in autumn 1994, also on ProSieben. The German rights remained with ProSieben until 2000, from 2001 the Tiny Toons were on Sat.1 , in 2004 for a short time (seasons 2 and 3) on kabel eins . Since 2005, the broadcasting rights for the second and third season have been with RTL II .

The Tiny Toons were followed by the Animaniacs in 1993 .
