History Trivia / TinyToonAdventures

** The incident mentioned above where three fans of the show wrote the script for "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian", sent it in, and it was made, was one of the inspirations for ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E19TheFront "The Front"]].

* MissingEpisode: The episode "Elephant Issues" (a VerySpecialEpisode semi-parody that tackled illiteracy, prejudice and underage drinking) only aired once back when the show was on the FOX network, thanks to the anti-alcohol segment, "One Beer" (which came under fire by [[MoralGuardian concerned parents]] who thought the anti-alcohol message was cheapened by the ending where Buster, Plucky and Hamton walk off set, vowing to make a funny episode next time). However, it aired on Latin American Cartoon Network, appears on the Volume 3 DVD and, as of September 2013, the uncut version aired on The Hub. When the series was added to Hulu in 2018, the episode remains unedited.

** 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.

*** ''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 [[VideoGame/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.

** 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'', ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'', ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', ''Toys/CabbagePatchKids'', ''Tonka'', ''Literature/TheBerenstainBears'', ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'', ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'', ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', and the Happy Meal Guys.

* OldShame: Elmyra seemed to be one after the [[WesternAnimation/PinkyElmyraAndTheBrain spin-off]] with ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'', where she had become a CreatorsPet at that point judging by a TakeThat in the ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020'' segment "Gift Rapper" ("Wakko's even less likable than Elmyra").

** "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. Ironically this ep got banned on Fox Kids after it aired ''when it was trying to teach kids the consequences of drinking''.

* OneSteveLimit: 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.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Creator/DonMessick (Hamton J Pig) and Creator/FrankWelker (Furrball, Gogo Dodo) worked together on Franchise/ScoobyDoo over two decades prior to this show. In fact, Creator/CharlieAdler played Droopy's son Dripple in ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryKids''. Basically, any voice actor who has had a role in a Hanna-Barbera project has more than likely worked alongside Don.

* 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 voice talent on display.

It's presumed to be one of the major reasons she wasn't allowed to return come the announcement for the ''Looniversity'' reboot (the other being her humor revolved around animal abuse, a topic that's gotten more sensitive since the 90's, even if just for slapstick).

* OldShame: Elmyra seemed to be one after the [[WesternAnimation/PinkyElmyraAndTheBrain spin-off]] with ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'', where she had become a CreatorsPet at that point judging by her exclusion from the Creator/HBOMax reboot as well as a TakeThat in the ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020'' segment "Gift Rapper" ("Wakko's even less likable than Elmyra").

* DuelingWorks: ''[[VideoGame/TinyToonAdventuresBusterBustsLoose Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose!]]'' ([[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]]) versus ''VideoGame/TinyToonAdventuresBustersHiddenTreasure'' ([[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Genesis/Mega Drive]]), both developed by {{Creator/Konami}}.
** ''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 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.

* NamesTheSame:
** Buster Bunny is not the same rabbit from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''.
** The manga ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' contains a character also named Montana Max.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: 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 Furball's lunch.

* ActingForTwo: Creator/CreeSummer (Elmyra and Mary Melody) and Creator/FrankWelker (Gogo, Byron, Furball and Beeper) both voice several recurring characters, but surprisingly it rarely veers into TalkingToHimself territory. Several more minor characters are played by the cast as well - like Rhubella and Roderick Rat being voiced by [[Creator/TressMacneille Tress MacNeille]] and Creator/CharlieAdler (who also voiced Buster and Babs). In TheMovie, nearly everyone does a side character or two.

* {{Talking to H|imself}}erself: Creator/CreeSummer voiced both Elmyra and Mary Melody (the black girl who was often Furrball's owner, when he wasn't owned by Elmyra or established to be homeless), though they talked to each other very rarely.
** Same for Creator/KathSoucie as Fifi La Fume and Li'l Sneezer.

** 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 missing ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' parody as well as the special theme songs.

** ''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, 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}}.

* 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).

*** Many of Jeff Bergman's characters (namely bugs, Daffy, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn) were also voiced by Greg Burson for a few episodes.

*** Assuming, [[AmericansHateTingle unlike]] ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020'', the reboot show gets a Japanese dub and retain all the remaining living cast, considering [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff how popular the original series was in Japan]], the only character whose voice actor will have to be replaced would be Sweetie Bird, as her original dub voice actress, Creator/YukoMizutani, had passed away.[[note]]However, there's the awkward case of Plucky and Shirley's voice actors, Creator/KoichiYamadera and Creator/MikaKanai, as both their characters ''and'' their real-life voice actors were dating (and later get married, at least in Yamadera and Kanai's case) both in and out-universe. Since both voice actors are now divorced, both of them are rarely sided, at least in Japanese-made media, together, except when required due to RoleReprise from previous roles, which likely would cause to either bring them back regardless, or replace them with newer voice actors instead.[[/note]]
