Line #67 Trivia/TinyToonAdventures


1	* AccidentallyCorrectZoology: In "Rock N' Roar", Buster finds a LostWorld inhabited by LivingDinosaurs and mentions that he "never did buy that extinction theory". It is now the scientific consensus that not all dinosaurs went extinct, since birds are the current lineage of dinosaurs that survived.
2	* ActingForTwo: Creator/CreeSummer (Elmyra and Mary Melody), Creator/FrankWelker (Gogo, Byron, Furball and Beeper), and Creator/KathSoucie (Fifi La Fume and Li'l Sneezer) all voice several recurring characters, but surprisingly it rarely veers where they talk to themselves. Several more minor characters are played by the cast as well - like Rhubella and Roderick Rat being voiced by [[Creator/TressMacneille Tress MacNeille]], Creator/CharlieAdler (who also voiced Buster and Babs) and in TheMovie, nearly everyone does a side character or two.
3	* AdoredByTheNetwork:
4	** The show got this treatment on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} getting constant promotion despite the fact that the show had not only already finished its run three years earlier at that point but they were also airing on Creator/KidsWB by 1997. It also had frequent inclusions in marathons and events that are otherwise exclusive to Franchise/{{Nicktoons}}, a couple of them even had the word ''Nicktoons'' in the title. It also got treated better than some of Nickelodeon's own shows at the time such as ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' which also aired during this period. It ''[[ScrewedByTheNetwork didn't]]'' get this same treatment when it returned in 2002, however, and its [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain sister]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} series]] were treated even worse.
5	** Creator/TheHub gave ''Tiny Toons'' this treatment too and while it didn't get adored to the extent of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' (which The Hub would just use holidays as excuses to give it marathons), it still got frequent promotion and they even aired the ''Spring Break Special'' which hadn't aired since ''1994''. And unlike ''Animaniacs'', ''Tiny Toons'' still lingered on The Hub for a couple months after it became Discovery Family.
6	* AlanSmithee: Credited as director on two shorts in "Strange Tales of Weird Science" (animated by Creator/EncoreCartoons).
7	* AllStarCast: This show has one of ''the'' most pedigreed ensembles when it comes to voice acting. Creator/CharlieAdler, [[Creator/TressMacneille Tress MacNeille]], Creator/JoeAlaskey, Creator/DonMessick, Creator/KathSoucie, Creator/RobPaulsen and Creator/FrankWelker are but a taste of the differing generations of beloved voice talent on display.
8	* AscendedFanon: One episode, "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian", was based on an idea by a trio of teenage fans. ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'' interviews one of them [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgc4jDp1Eg8 here]].
9	* CelebrityVoiceActor: In the Japanese dub, Hamton's first voice actor was late TV actor Yo Yoshimura, and, while he was also a voice actor by his own right, he was very-well known for playing Yoshi-san in a famous children's show named ''Ichi Ni no Sansū'', which lasted from 1975 to 1995.[[note]]Latin American viewers can recognize that show under the name "1, 2, 3 Matemáticas con Nico y Tap'' in that region.[[/note]]
10	* ChannelHop: The series was first pitched as a SaturdayMorningCartoon for Creator/{{CBS}}, who went as far as committing to airing the pilot episode as a prime-time TV special alongside a ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\|1987}}'' special that was promoting that series' move to CBS as well. Despite being well-received with test audiences, CBS ultimately declined to order a full series, and since the other three networks passed, Warner decided it was in ''Tiny Toon''[='=]s best interest to air in first-run syndication as a weekday afternoon cartoon. The strategy paid off handsomely. Eventually, its popularity led to Creator/FoxKids picking it up as part of their first-look production deal after the first season aired. However, Fox wouldn't air the show until season 3, as WB had already renewed the series' second season for syndication. Fox also aired two prime-time specials of the series even after it was canceled (Fox eventually pulled the series in September 1995, along with ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' once Creator/KidsWB premiered that show's third season).
11	* ChildrenVoicingChildren: Creator/DannyCooksey was only fourteen when he began voicing [[VagueAge (pre)]]teen Montana Max.
12	* CreatorBacklash: Not with the show's creators, but with John Flansburgh of Music/TheyMightBeGiants. While the band allowed their songs, "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" and "Particle Man", to be used in "Tiny Toon Music Television", and it did introduce them to a new generation of fans, Flansburgh, who has a bit of a weight problem, wasn't too pleased with his depiction, as stated in the DVD commentaries of the band's documentary, ''Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns''.
13	-->'''Flansburgh:''' There's something about being animated as a pig that keeps you coming back for less.
14	* CreatorBreakdown: According to Creator/JonMcClenahan, Glen Kennedy did not take kindly to his studio's episodes being criticized by Creator/StevenSpielberg.
15	* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Series creator Tom Ruegger has stated that his favorite episode is "The Anvil Chorus" (part of "It's Buster Bunny Time").
16	* CreatorsPest
17	** Elmyra is in a ''really'' weird place. She was utterly despised by the main writers and a majority of fans [[note]]Most didn't mind if she was just in an antagonist role, being the expy of Elmer Fudd and all.[[/note]] but ''someone'' in the higher-ups apparently couldn't get enough of her (presumably Spielberg himself). The constant demand for more Elmyra screentime by the higher-ups really got on the writers' nerves, which reached its peak when she was shoehorned into ''WesternAnimation/PinkyElmyraAndTheBrain'', which has even more BitingTheHandHumor than both ''Tiny Toons'' and ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' combined. This seems to still be the case today, judging by a TakeThat in the ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020'' segment "Gift Rapper" ("Wakko's even less likable than Elmyra").
18	** Clearly the creators weren't too crazy about Fifi back then, mainly because of her overblown popularity even going as far as [[TakeThatAudience making fun of her fans]] in "Night Ghoulery". This explains why she was [[OutOfFocus rather underused]] throughout the show.
19	** While Concord Condor wasn't as popular with the fans as Fifi La Fume, like her, he had very few shorts centered around him. The [[CreditsGag gag credit]] for "Toons From the Crypt", one of his final major appearances, is "We gave Concord Condor a new haircut - And he still isn't funny".
20	* CrossDressingVoices:
21	** Creator/KathSoucie (well-known for voicing young boys) as Li'l Sneezer.
22	** In the German dub, Santiago Ziesmer as Sweetie Pie, though that could just be ViewerGenderConfusion.
23	* TheDanza:
24	** Julie Brown as Julie Bruin.
25	** Henny Youngman as [[PunnyName "Henny"]] Youngman.
26	** The Roches as The Roches.
27	* DependingOnTheArtist: The show went through seven animation houses overseas[[note]]Two of them, Creator/WangFilmProductions and Creator/{{AKOM}} even getting two overseas supervisors each. [[/note]]As a result, no two episodes had the same quality. Kennedy and Encore Studios and the early Wang episodes are considered the worst of the non-TMS-produced episodes.
28	* DuelingWorks:
29	** This show was pitted against ''WesternAnimation/GravedaleHigh''. Both shows had a similar premise of taking place at a high school, with teenagers based on classic characters from the Golden Age of Hollywood (theatrical cartoon stars for ''Tiny Toons'', movie monsters for ''Gravedale High''). ''Tiny Toons'' won this duel, as it lasted a total of 98 episodes over the course of three seasons, whereas ''Gravedale High'' only lasted thirteen episodes over the course of one season.
30	** In terms of video games based on the show, ''[[VideoGame/TinyToonAdventuresBusterBustsLoose Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose!]]'' ([[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]]) versus ''VideoGame/TinyToonAdventuresBustersHiddenTreasure'' ([[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Genesis/Mega Drive]]), both developed by {{Creator/Konami}}:
31	*** ''Buster Busts Loose!'' has a lot of variety, humorous cutscenes and pop culture references that accurately reflect the show, and multiple difficulty settings that affect the ending; if you want to get to the end, you have to [[EasyModeMockery beat it on the hardest mode]]. Six levels are certainly not much, though, and hard mode can be beaten in about 90 minutes. The main gimmicks are the LocomotiveLevel where Buster has to stop a runaway train, and another set on a football pitch during the closing minutes of a game; the general laws of American football are mostly thrown out the window.
32	*** ''Hidden Treasure'' has more in common with the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] ''Tiny Toons'' titles, which are pretty basic. Nearly every feature is a {{platform game}} cliché. Buster has to collect carrots that are haphazardly scattered throughout the level, just like [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic collects rings]]. Springs send you into the air like Sonic, and Dr. Gene Splicer menaces you in a hovercraft at the end of each world. Levels take you to all of the familiar regions: [[GreenHillZone Forest]], [[UndergroundLevel Cave]], [[LethalLavaLand Volcano]], [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Ice]]... Still, one thing it has going for it is its length. It has an insane amount of levels, and each world contains one or two secret levels to seek out.
33	* EditedForSyndication: The show, just like its [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain sister]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} shows]], had its intro edited on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons. However, the edits were nowhere near as severe as in the others, the only real edit in the intro was the shot of the WB shield was replaced with a fade from black straight to the Tiny Toons logo. The oddity was Nickelodeon left the WB shield in when it first aired in the mid to late 90s. But when it returned in 2002, this edit was added in.
34	* FanCommunityNickname: Buster usually calls the fans "Toonsters", but sometimes he calls them "Toonatics". In at least one episode, he calls them "Tooniacs".
35	* HeAlsoDid: Backstage Edition: Creator/BruceTimm was a character designer on this show before he did ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. Elmyra and Montana Max in particular have a lot of Timm characteristics.
36	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes:
37	** A couple episodes in season one were released edited on DVD and on Creator/{{Hulu}}, such as "Tiny Toons Music Television" (missing a brief bit where Buster and Babs announce a number for the viewers to call, though that edit may have been done so viewers wouldn't get confused and try to call the number onscreen) and "Son of the Wacko World of Sports" (missing the title cards for some strange reason). Also, "Looniversity Daze" featured two versions of the same scene, the latter with re-take animation by Jon [=McClenahan=]. Only the original animation made it to DVD and Hulu, meaning Jon's version of that scene is lost.
38	*** Averted come 2014, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX9QJHtB7M0 where it can be found here]].
39	** The Spring Break Special was never released on home video (due most likely to its heavy music rights), and the "Night Ghoulery" VHS now commands outrageous prices online. However, this has changed on January 4, 2018, when both specials were added on Hulu. Hulu [[ZigzaggedTrope zig-zags]] the latter, as it's the broadcast version that is missing ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' parody as well as the special theme songs.
40	** ''The Plucky Duck Show'', the short-lived spin-off of ''TTA'' featuring nothing but Plucky-centric shorts, was never released on VHS or DVD. It's not surprising, since it would be redundant with the ''TTA'' releases (save for some footage from "The Return of Batduck" that was cut from the ''TTA'' version of the episode to fit in that show's opening titles), but it still counts. Every episode was uploaded to the Internet Archive in 2020, and it did air on several foreign feeds of Creator/{{Boomerang}}.
41	* KidsMealToy:
42	** In 1991, UsefulNotes/McDonalds released a set of four flip cars, each one having two characters; Buster and Elmyra, Babs and Plucky, Hamton and Dizzy, and Montana and Gogo.
43	** In 1992, [=McDonald's=] released a set of eight Wacky Rollers. The characters featured were Buster, Babs, Plucky and Hamton, Dizzy, Sweetie and Furrball, Montana, Elmyra, and Gogo.
44	** In 1994, [=McDonald's=] released a toy of Buster and Babs as part of their Happy Birthday Happy Meal, which also featured toys based on Ronald and Friends, ''Toys/{{Barbie}}'', ''Toys/HotWheels'', ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'', ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'', ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', ''Toys/CabbagePatchKids'', ''Tonka'', ''Literature/TheBerenstainBears'', ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'', ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'', ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', and the Happy Meal Guys.
45	** Burger King released a set of four toys in Europe in 1992. These consisted of Buster and Babs together, Plucky, Hamton, and Dizzy.
46	** Wendy's released a set of four toys in 1999, many years after the show had finished its original three-season run and ran for syndication. These four toys included a Dizzy top, an X-ray machine, colorful connectable figures of Buster and Babs, and a lenticular 3d photo frame where a photo of your head could be placed over Hamton's.
47	** Hardee's released a set of four toys in November and December 2000, many years after the show had finished its original three-season run and ran for syndication. These consisted of Babs on a bobsled, Plucky on a snowboard, a Dizzy top, and Furrball and Sweetie in a gift box.
48	* MidDevelopmentGenreShift: This was originally planned to be a feature length film for theatrical release, but was later changed to a TV series.
49	* MissingEpisode:
50	** The third season Halloween episode, "Toons from the Crypt", was banned from FOX and the WB because of the segment, "Night of the Living Pets", where Elmyra is haunted by the zombies of the pets she smothered to death with affection. Like "Elephant Issues", the full episode is on Hulu.
51	** The "Tiny Toons Spring Break Special" aired once on FOX in March 1994 and remained unseen for over 20 years until The Hub picked up the series. Supposedly the reasoning was music licensing issues (the special contains several hit song parodies).
52	** Despite being all but finished, ''VideoGame/TinyToonAdventuresDefendersOfTheUniverse'' never officially released for reasons unknown, though it is known that the publisher of the game, Conspiracy Entertainment, had dire financial issues at the time that caused them to quietly cancel several of their other projects around the planned release date of the game.
53	* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: The script for "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian", written by Renee Carter, Sarah Creef, and Amy Crosby. The 3 make a cameo addressing Buster's complaints about the Plane Scene. (see "Promoted Fangirls" below)
54	* OneSteveLimit:
55	** There are two characters named "Egghead Jr." in the series; there's a human one in "Plucky's Dastardly Deed" based on the Elmer Fudd prototype who Plucky swaps tests with, and the chicken one in "Hog-Wild Hamton" who is based on the character originally created by Creator/RobertMcKimson. To make things doubly confusing, both characters are extremely intelligent.
56	** There are also two characters named "Duncan" in the series; the first is Duncan Potter, a toddler rabbit who appears in "I Was a Teenage Bunnysitter" (part of "The ACME Home Shopping Show"), and the second is Duncan Duff, Elmyra's younger brother who appears in "Take Elmyra Please" and "Grandma's Dead".
57	* TheOtherDarrin: Buster's voice actor was changed from Creator/CharlieAdler (who quit after being rejected for a role on ''Animaniacs'') to John Kassir (the voice behind The Cryptkeeper for the live-action HBO series ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'', the cartoon series ''WesternAnimation/TalesFromTheCryptkeeper'', and the game show ''Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House'') for "It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special", "The Return of Batduck", "Spring Break Special", and "Night Ghoulery," as well as the second halves of both "The Horror of Slumber Party Mountain" and "Best of Buster Day." Adler, for his part, has said in interviews that the things people have said about his reasons for leaving are false, but thus far he's declined to elaborate on his side of the story, only saying that if he had been aware at the time that the show wasn't going to go on for much longer, he probably wouldn't have left.
58	** Subverted with Plucky Duck, as detailed in TheOtherMarty below.
59	** Creator/RobPaulsen voiced Furball on "Duck Trek" instead of Creator/FrankWelker.
60	** Hamton's dad, Wade Pig, was, in terms of production, voiced by Jonathan Winters in his debut appearance ("How I Spent My Vacation"). Creator/JoeAlaskey took over beginning with "Hog-Wild Hamton".
61	** Minor character Vinnie Deer was voiced by Broadway actor Brian Stokes Mitchell in his debut in "Mr. Popular's Rules of Cool", but for his cameo in "How I Spent My Vacation", he was voiced by Frank Welker.
62	** After Creator/DonMessick's death, Creator/BillyWest (who also voiced his mentor Porky Pig in the 2003 shorts and some commercials) became Hamton's new voice actor for newer media like video games and commercials.
63	** Many of the classic Looney Tunes characters had multiple different voice actors throughout the series, also being the first major project produced after Mel Blanc's death the previous year which necessitated this.
64	*** Bugs, Daffy, and Foghorn Leghorn were initially voiced by Jeff Bergman in season 1 and the season 2 episode "Elephant Issues". Greg Burson would take over those roles starting in late season 2.
65	*** Pete Puma is voiced by Joe Alaskey in "Going Places" instead of Stan Freberg.
66	*** Porky was voiced by Noel Blanc in 3 episodes, Bob Bergen in 2 episodes, and Joe Alaskey, Greg Burson, and Rob Paulsen for one episode each.
67	*** Sylvester's voice is split between Jeff Bergman and Joe Alaskey.
68	*** Elmer Fudd alternated between Jeff Bergman and Greg Burson.
69	*** Tweety is voiced by Bob Bergen in "Animaniacs!" instead of Jeff Bergman like other episodes.
70	*** Taz is voiced by Jeff Bergman and Greg Burson for 2 episodes each, and Noel Blanc and Maurice [=LaMarche=] for 1 episode each.
71	*** Yosemite Sam is voiced Joe Alaskey and Jeff Bergman for 3 episodes each, and Charlie Adler and Maurice [=LaMarche=] for 1 episode each.
72	** In the Japanese dub:
73	*** Shunichi Sugawara replaced the late You Yoshimura as Hamton at the half of the series
74	*** Creator/IkueOtani replaced Creator/MegumiHayashibara as Lil' Sneezer in the same way.
75	*** The Franchise/LooneyTunes are an odd case here, as some voice actors reprise their roles before Warner Bros' Japanese branch replaced the entire cast in 1995, being this show the last time the pre-1995 cast are together in the same place. Oddly enough, Creator/ShozoIizuka replaced Creator/{{Mugihito}}, who has being Taz's voice actor since the 1960s exclusively for this show, while some voice actors who began working as their official Japanese voice actors post-1995, such as Creator/TesshoGenda (Foghorn Leghorn, replacing Creator/HiroyaIshimaru) and Creator/WataruTakagi (Daffy Duck, replacing Creator/KenyuuHoriuchi), also began working here.
76	** In the Latin American Spanish dub:
77	*** Hamton went from José Gómez from the first season to Juan Guzmán in the second season onwards.
78	*** Dizzy Devil went from Carmelo Fernandez from the first season to Creator/RubenLeon in the second season onwards.
79	*** As a result of the show being dubbed in Venezuela rather than Mexico, the Franchise/LooneyTunes are dubbed by local Venezuelan voice actors, rather than Mexicans, being one of the few times those characters aren't dubbed in Mexico.
80	** While it's currently unknown if ''Tiny Toons Looniversity'' will go the way of [[WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020 the Animaniacs reboot]] and [[RoleReprise bring back the original actors]] or recast them with more modern actors [[note]] Though things seem to hint at the former, as how would Creator/CreeSummer know Elmyra wouldn't be appearing unless she had enquired about reprising the role. [[/note]] but either way, Plucky and Hamton will both have to be recast due to the respective deaths of Joe Alaskey in 2016 and Don Messick in 1997[[note]]on a handful of ''Tiny Toons'' video games released after Messick's death, Hamton was voiced by Creator/BillyWest[[/note]].
81	* TheOtherMarty: Creator/JoeAlaskey initially quit the series alongside Creator/CharlieAdler for being passed over for ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' (see The Other Darrin above) near the end of the third season. Because of this, Plucky was recast with Creator/MauriceLaMarche for the remaining episodes of the series. However, Alaskey ended up feeling guilty for what he did and made amends with the studio; returning for the final episodes and rerecording Plucky's dialogue for them.
82	* OutOfHolidayEpisode: "[[HalloweenEpisode Night]] [[Series/NightGallery Ghoulery]]" was originally intended to premiere in October of 1994, but ended up premiering on Fox on May 28, 1995.
83	* OutOfOrder: When released on Hulu, the order, if anything, remembers "The Loony Beginning" was first and cares nothing for the rest.
84	* PopCultureUrbanLegends: "Elephant Issues" is widely believed to have been [[BannedEpisode banned from airing on television]] due to its third segment "One Beer", which infamously depicts Buster, Plucky, and Hamton all getting falling-down drunk off a single beer and eventually dying in a DUI accident, resulting in outrage from MoralGuardians and the episode being pulled from syndication until the show aired on Creator/TheHub in 2013, never once airing on Creator/FoxKids, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, or Creator/KidsWB. However, as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4YjEbpBo2Q&ab_channel=poparena this video reveals]] after carefully going over old TV Guide listings and newspaper articles, the episode was ''never actually banned'' and did air on the networks/blocks it was supposedly withdrawn from at least once (though, granted, it still aired very infrequently), and there is no proof that there was even any kind of controversy over it either. The exact origins of the perception that the episode was banned are a mystery, with it mainly being attributed to GossipEvolution after Peter Paltridge, creator of Website/PlatypusComix, referred to it as a banned episode in a very early article on the site (which Peter himself admits was based entirely on fan discussions around the internet prior to the article's creation).
85	* ProductionLeadTime: Production started as early as January 1989. The series didn't debut until fall 1990.
86	* {{Promoted Fan\|boy}}girls: "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian" was actually a spec script written by three girls from Virginia. The producers liked it so much, they decided to greenlight it -- ''and have TMS do it.''
87	** The girls had mailed their scripts to Steven Spielberg, and the envelope accidentally got to him without being vetted by his secretaries. It was fortunate that he liked the story and decided to produce the episode with full credit to the fan writers, avoiding the possibility that they might try to sue him. This is referenced by the CreditsGag at the end of that episode, "Send your unsolicited scripts, along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: SOME OTHER SHOW".
88	* RealLifeRelative: At the time in the Japanese dub, Creator/KoichiYamadera (Plucky's voice actor) was married with Creator/MikaKanai (who voiced Shirley); they are now nowadays divorced.
89	* RecycledScript: "Two-Tone Town" is very similar to "Fields of Honey": Both plots are about has-been cartoon stars who are given a second shot at popularity from the ''Tiny Toon'' characters. The execution of both episodes are different, though.
90	* ReferencedBy: [[ReferencedBy/TinyToonAdventures See here]].
91	* RoleReprise:
92	** Both Creator/JuneForay and Creator/StanFreberg return to voice Granny and Pete Puma. The former also reprised Witch Hazel in "Night Ghoulery".
93	** Likewise, from the Japanese dub, Creator/HisakoKyoda return to voice Granny. Special note that she is the only voice actor who has voiced her or his ''Looney Tunes'' basically since day one in Japan since the 1960s, and voicing her in ''each and all her appearances'' to this day (as to 2022).[[note]]Creator/{{Mugihito}} is also another ''Looney Tunes'' veteran who has voiced Taz in almost all his appearances, except in this show. See above why.[[/note]]
94	* ScrewedByTheLawyers: The comics from Marvel UK are unlikely to be reprinted any time soon, as not only has Creator/WarnerBrothers licensed all WB-based properties to their own Creator/DCComics in all territories, but Marvel is now owned by Creator/{{Disney}}, Warner's competitor.
95	* ShortRunInPeru: The episode "Toons from the Crypt" made its world premiere in Australia on September 22, 1992 due to FOX declining to air the episode due to the content of the final segment. One of the segments first aired on ''The Plucky Duck Show'' in November 1992 and the offending segment would see a release in December 1994 on VHS. It wasn't until October 1995, when Nickelodeon got syndication rights, that the episode aired in its entirety.
96	* StarMakingRole: The Venezuelan Spanish dub deserves a special mention: Not only it was this for the voice actors themselves, the whole series was also for the '''entire voice acting industry''' of Venezuela. Previously of this series, Venezuelan dubs were in the SoBadItsGood territories. The outstanding perfomance of the cast caused Creator/WarnerBros to entirely dubbing almost all their animated series (Excluding anything related with the Franchise/LooneyTunes and also ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock''[[note]]Albeit in this case, it was dubbed in Mexico due to a nationwide strike against the then late president Hugo Chavez.[[/note]]) in Latin America in Venezuela rather than Mexico.
97	* TroubledProduction: The first season, while still acclaimed overall, had a hectic production schedule that was hampered by animation studios turning in less than stellar results:
98	** Several early-run episodes, specifically "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E38StrangeTalesOfWeirdScience Strange Tales of Weird Science]]", "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E42LooniversityDaze Looniversity Daze]]", and "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E44HeroHamton Hero Hamton]]", were outsourced to a domestic animation studio based in Nevada called Creator/EncoreCartoons. However, Encore turned in results that were ''far'' below the standards the crew was looking for, with sloppy character designs, continuity errors (one of the most infamous ones was one in "Looniversity Daze" wherein Plucky was inserted into a classroom scene when he was supposed to be sitting just outside the classroom, resulting in the duplicate Plucky being colored purple with a blue tank top instead of green with a white tank top in the final product to hide this as the production crew was out of time), and extremely LimitedAnimation out the wazoo ("Strange Tales" features points where the characters' mouths barely even move as they speak). When the crew sent for retakes, they ended up with results that were just as bad if not even worse. The crew eventually ran out of time to get better animation (by which point the episodes, meant to be the third, sixth, and tenth episodes of the season respectively, had ended up being pushed back to the middle of the season) and had no choice but to either use the best Encore takes in the final episodes or have other studios such as Creator/KennedyCartoons or [[Creator/JonMcClenahan Startoons]] replace some of the worst animation. Even with the best takes, these three episodes still ended up with some of the worst animation and OffModel moments of the entire series. The episodes' troubled production was lampshaded numerously in "Strange Tales" (via self-deprecating dialogue that was added in during its production and the obligatory CreditsGag: "Number of Retakes: Don't Ask"), which also notably had AlanSmithee credits for two of the included shorts. Needless to say, the crew never worked with Encore again after the disastrous production of these three episodes.
99	** The aforementioned Kennedy Cartoons itself had very inconsistent animation quality (going from fluid and energetic animation to horrendously sloppy OffModel animation and character designs at the drop of a hat) and the company didn't always concern themselves with emulating the classic ''Looney Tunes'' style that Steven Spielberg (whom company founder Glen Kennedy reportedly argued with over the vision for the series' animation) and the show's crew were aiming for, instead emulating the type of animation they used in shows such as ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo''. The inconsistent animation and squabbles between Steven and Glen resulted in a few episodes being held up in production[[labelnote:notably...]]"[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E18HareTodayGoneTomorrow Hare Today, Gone Tomorrow]], which was the first episode in production order (but became the 18th episode) and also threw shade at itself in its CreditsGag ("Moral of the Story: We Need More Animators") and "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E65HighToon High Toon]]", which ended up being held up until more than a month after the intended season finale "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E64KACMETV K-ACME TV]]"[[/labelnote]] and/or having the worse animation being filled in by Jon [=McClenahan=][='s=] crew, much like with Encore (or by Wang, as "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E1TheLooneyBeginning The Looney Beginning]]" credits both), and, also like Encore, Kennedy Cartoons was shown the door at the season's end.
100	** It wasn't just Kennedy that Steven Spielberg had a problem with; according to Tom Ruegger, when one of the first Wang episodes came back, he ''hated'' the ThickLineAnimation, basically saying it was the very look he was trying to avoid (going so far as to say "This is unconscionable"), prompting Ruegger to fly to Taiwan ''the next day'' to order the artists not to use thick outlines anymore. A few of the "thick line" episodes still made it to air, however, such as "You Asked For It", "Hare Rising Night", "The ACME Acres Zone", "Rock 'n Roar", and "Career Oppor-Toon-ities".
101	* UnfinishedEpisode: Creator/JohnKricfalusi, Bob Camp and Jim Smith wrote a Halloween-themed episode of ''Tiny Toons'' titled "Hi, Spirits" while waiting for Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} to greenlight ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''. It was never finished as a ''Tiny Toons'' episode, but [[http://www.thadkomorowski.com/2010/04/the-tiny-toon-that-got-rejected-and-became-a-ren-stimpy/ Spumco remade it]] as the ''Ren & Stimpy'' episode "Haunted House". The idea would later be reworked on ''Tiny Toons'' as the short "Boo Ha Ha". [[note]]''R&S'' creator John K. reportedly had [[CreativeDifferences a very bad relationship with the show's staff]] and would famously blast the show once it became more popular, later doing the same to ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' (under [[AlanSmithee the pseudonym]] Tom Payne, "animator and historian") [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch purely as vendetta]].[[/note]]
102	* WagTheDirector: Downplayed. The reason why Montana was made the protagonist in "Fit to be Toyed" and "My Dinner With Elmyra" was because his voice actor Danny Cooksey was upset about always playing the bad guy.

104	* WriterRevolt:
105	** The episode "Elephant Issues" was made out to be a VerySpecialEpisode, featuring three shorts that tackled television addiction, racism, and the dangers of under-aged drinking respectively, only to turn into a StealthParody instead. The showrunners grew annoyed at Warner Bros. wanting them to incorporate morals into each episode, so they purposely made the morals of each short poorly implemented in hopes of getting them to reconsider.
106	** "One Beer", one of said episodes, shows the writers were clearing doing this under protest and weren't even subtle about it. Soon as the Buster, Hamton and Plucky find the beer and Buster suggest they all drink it, Hamton notes how Out of Character Buster's acting as he obviously would never do that, with Buster responding he knows but the ep is just to "Teach kids the consequences of evil virtues". Once the episode reaches it conclusion, we see the three walking off the set stating they hope they can do a funny episode next time.
107	* WriteWhoYouKnow:
108	** In the episode, "Looking Out for The Little Guy" the final segment "Bird-Dog Afternoon" was based on a real event. The writer, Tom Ruegger had a basset hound named Lucy who once saved a flock of baby birds from a hungry cat, and Ruegger adapted that into this episode with Byron Basset saving fledgling birds from becoming Furrball's lunch. This gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in the episode's [[CreditsGag gag credit]]; "Basset Hound Model - Lucy Ruegger".
109	** Baby Plucky was based on Tom Ruegger’s youngest son Cody, who was 3 years old at the time.
110	* WrittenByCastMember: The episode, "Best of Buster Day", specifically the segments, "Compromising Principals" and "Maid to Re-Order" were co-written by Creator/CharlieAdler, Buster's original voice actor.
