It is ''also'' rumored that the company is related to Encore Enterprises, who did numerous TV specials and the 1997 version of ''WesternAnimation/ChucklewoodCritters'', though this hasn't been confirmed.

* OutOfOrder: All three Encore episodes had very low production order numbers (103, 106, and 110), but they aired in the later half of season 1. The numerous outtakes are the reason.
--> '''Tom Minton''': The first several ''TTA'' eps were animated by various overseas shops, and one domestic, very local one whose work was so embarrassing it was buried deep for as long as possible. The very first short I wrote for Warners, "The Toxic Revenger", fell victim to that abysmal situation. At one point, Steven visited and wondered where that cartoon was. Ruegger told him "We didn't want to bum you out." It was heavy in major retakes and the thing was not improving.

Encore Cartoons was a very obscure animation studio which only worked on three episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' (those episodes being "Strange Tales of Weird Science", "Hero Hamton", and "Looniversity Daze"). According to Tom Ruegger, it was located in Nevada, making it one of three domestic studios to work on the show (the others being Creator/KennedyCartoons and [[Creator/JonMcClenahan Star Toons]]). That said, all three episodes were inked and painted by Creator/FilCartoons.

* EnhancedOnDVD: Zig-zagged. "Looniversity Daze" contains three sequences where Creator/JonMcClenahan did some retake animation to replace lower quality Encore work. One of his sequences made it onto the version that was released on DVD (that is, Hamton asking Buster to beg for mercy when he goes to the principal's office). However, for the other two sequences (Buster's "That's my name, don't wear it out" in the same short, and Sweetie being smashed by a hammer in "Eating Between the Lines"), the original Encore animation is what made it onto DVD, much to the annoyance of fans.

* StockFootage: An odd example: The opening of "Strange Tales of Weird Science" (that is, Elmyra forcing Buster and Babs to play with her) was actually stock footage, though wasn't used in any aired episode. It was originally intended for "The Looney Beginning", but was cut for time. Since "Weird Science" was running short, this bit was inserted into the episode and had some new dialog ADR'd into the scene to change the context that Buster and Babs are late starting the show because they're being hounded by Elmyra. It's easy to tell this footage was meant for another episode, however, because it was animated by Kennedy and WangFilmProductions, while "Weird Science" was by Encore.

It was allegedly run by Bill Hutten and Tony Love, though it is unknown who the animators were. It is rumored that the company is related to Encore Enterprises, who did numerous TV specials and the 1997 version of ''WesternAnimation/ChucklewoodCritters'', though this hasn't been confirmed.

* DependingOnTheArtist: Very much. This is exacerbated because all three episodes feature animation by Kennedy Cartoons to fill in some gaps (possibly because Encore's work was poor quality). To say the animation is all over the place is an understatement.
* DerangedAnimation: Slow-mo the "Furrball gets rehabilitated" sequence in "Pit Bullied".
