[[Hanna -Barbera]] based this early 1980s [[Animated Series]] on a group of animal characters from Hallmark greeting cards. In the ''Shirt Tales'' cartoon, the animal heroes had their base of operations in an [[Bigger On the Inside|old oak tree]].

This series provides examples of:
Line 8:
* [[Kangaroos Represent Australia]] (Kip Kangaroo)
* [[Expressive Shirt]]
* [[Five -Man Band]]
* [[Forgotten Theme Tune Lyrics]] (first season only)
* [[Friend to All Living Things|Friends to All Living Things]]
* [[Gang of Critters]]
* [[Half -Dressed Cartoon Animal|Half Dressed Cartoon Animals]]
* [[Overt Operative]]: Possible subversion. No one is supposed to know who the Shirt Tales really are, let alone that they are five (later six) talking animals. The mere fact alone that they '''are''' talking animals is the perfect cover since most humans would assume that the Shirt Tales were also humans. So, they aren't as "overt" as the trope would imply.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Fred Travalena's Bogey Orangutan was a voice caricature of [[Humphrey Bogart]], "schweetheart".
