* ItsAllAboutMe: Daffy is prone to selfishness, much more than the other babies, although he usually [[AnAesop learns his lesson at the end.]] Justified, as he's a baby and most kids act like this.

** Daffy is a jerk a lot of times, but since this is a LighterAndSofter version of WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes and there is always AnAesop (usually involving Granny), he usually understands his behaviour was wrong at the end of the episode (most of the time).

* AnAesop: Almost every episode. Lampshaded towards the end of "Pouting Match" when Granny converses with Lola about her pouty behavior.
--> '''Lola''': Is this one of those life lesson things? 'Cause if it is, you're gonna have to run that by me again. Slowly.
--> '''Granny''': Instead of pouting next time, why don't you try asking nicely?
--> '''Lola''': Yeah but what if you still don't get what you want?
--> '''Granny''': Sometimes that happens and you need to accept it.

''Baby Looney Tunes'' is an animated program that ran from September 7, 2002 to April 20, 2005. It started out on Creator/KidsWB and was eventually [[ChannelHop moved]] to Creator/CartoonNetwork for the rest of its run. The series actually started out as an infant and toddler-oriented sub-brand for the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes during the '90s, which originally went under the name ''"Looney Tunes Lovables"''. Around 1997, when the animated series was announced, the brand was renamed ''Baby Looney Tunes'', and more merchandise featuring the logo that would become associated with the animated series became more readily available.

The animated series served as a breath of life for the long-stagnant SpinoffBabies formula made popular by ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984''.

* EverybodyCries: Happens in some episodes. In "Mother’s Day Madness", the babies get angry and fight on the Mother’s Day cards, and then they eventually start crying. "Takers Keepers" has this too: When Taz’s toy is gone, he starts crying and the other babies (save Daffy initially) all feel guilty and cry along with it. In "Move It!", The babies overhear what they assume is that Granny is moving to a new house and burst into tears under this deduction. It is revealed that all Granny was mentioning was to move around, as in ''exercise''.

Added DiffLines:

* ResortToPouting: In "Pouting Match", Lola finds that pouting to get she wants is quite useful when the kids refuse to put on her favorite show. However, the other kids start to use the same tactic so she can know how it feels. As such, Granny tells Lola that she can't always get what she wants, but she should at least ask nicely for it.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: In one episode, wherein Petunia is repeatedly crying wolf, we actually get a double subversion. Daffy's dinosaur book features an amazingly accurate (right down to Daffy pronouncing its name correctly) ''[[SeldomSeenSpecies Sinosauropteryx]]''. However, when Daffy goes looking for it, he apparently expects it to have broken down a bunch of trees. Unless the trees in Granny's yard are the size of daisies, a three-foot-long ''Sinosauropteryx'' would not be capable of that.
