Tiny Toon Adventures: Difference between revisions

A revival of sorts for the [[Looney Tunes]] style of comedy, using teenage Toons ''highly'' [[Expy|reminiscent]] of several classic characters. But rather than pure rip-offs, they were actually being ''taught'' in school by the originals on being funny and the finer parts of Cartoon Physics and being a Toon. This continues the proud tradition of [[Warner Brothers]] Animation having a heavy dose of meta-humor, shtick and [[Lampshade Hanging]] of many cartoon tropes, but this also incorporated themes of teen adolescence, Aesops, and [[The Nineties|nineties]] sensibilities. It was executive produced by [[Steven Spielberg]], who, along with [[Show Runner|fellow executive]] Tom Ruegger, thought the Looney Tunes style was due for a make-over on television after the success of ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''. ''TTA'' started the Silver Age of Warner Brothers cartoons, resulting in [[Animaniacs|similar]] [[Pinky and The Brain|shows]] that shared many of the same tropes and were produced in much the same way (writing, storyboards, key animation and voice work done in the US, inbetweening done by Asian studios ([[T MsTMS]] excluded; preferring to do most of their own work themselves, albeit with an uncredited staff), [[Steven Spielberg]] as executive producer). It was also one of the first shows to contribute to the [[The Renaissance Age of Animation|'90s animation boom]], following ''[[The Simpsons]]'' by less than a year.

The show has been reaired in Russia since 2010, and "It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special" was reaired in the UK last month{{when}}, but doesn't appear to be reairing in America or the rest of Europe, unless Nick is willing to get back the rights for [[The 90s Are All That]] or [[The Hub]] gets the rights.

* [[Animation Bump]]: Different episodes were animated by different studios,<ref>They'd be [[AKOM]], [[T MsTMS]] (and through TMS, [[Kyoto Animation]], [[Nakamura Productions]], [[Studio Jungle Gym]], [[Mook DLE]], [[Anime Spot]] and others), [[Wang Film Productions]], [[Star Toons]], [[Kennedy Cartoons]] (and through Kennedy, [[Fil-Cartoons]] and Wang) [[Freelance Animators New Zealand]] and Encore Cartoons.</ref> so the animation style would noticeably vary between them.

** One can tell which animation team did which episodes. For example, several episodes (including the pilot) resemble ''[[A Pup Named Scooby -Doo]]'', being animated by [[Kennedy Cartoons]] (whose head, Glen Kennedy, was the animation director on the first season of APNSD).

** As mentioned in the intro to this page, [[T MsTMS]] animated several episodes, and their work was, as always, gorgeous.

* [[Barefoot Cartoon AnimalsAnimal]]s: Most of the main cast, with a few exceptions. [[The One Who Wears Shoes|Fowlmouth wears sneakers]] and so did Calamity Coyote and Little Beeper.

* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Babs does ''not'' like her whole name Barbara Ann. Buster calls her this twice, once in the show and the other in the ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation|Tiny Toon Adventures How I Spent My Vacation]]'' film. Her response: "Don't call me that!"

** Elmyra ended up starring in [[Pinky, Elmyra and& Thethe Brain|another show]] anyway, but her family (and even Furrball) got left out of it.
