Tiny Toon Adventures is an American animated television series created by Tom Ruegger that was broadcast from September 14, 1990, to December 6, 1992. It was the first animated series produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Animation.[1] The show follows the adventures of a group of young cartoon characters who attend Acme Looniversity to become the next generation of characters from the Looney Tunes series.[2]

The pilot episode, "The Looney Beginning", aired as a prime-time special on CBS on September 14, 1990,[3] while the series itself was featured in first-run syndication for the first two seasons. The final season aired on Fox under the Fox Kids programming block. The series ended production in 1992 in favor of Animaniacs, which premiered a year later; however, two specials were produced in 1994.[4]

Tiny Toon Adventures won seven Daytime Emmy Awards, a Young Artist Award, and an Environmental Media Award, with nominations for one other Daytime Emmy Award, two Annie Awards, one Primetime Emmy Award, and one other Young Artist Award. Spin-off media include magazines, toys, video games, and home media releases. The Plucky Duck Show, a spin-off television series, was created for Fox Kids and ran for one season. A second spin-off series, Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain ran on Kids' WB for one season. A reboot/revival series, Tiny Toons Looniversity, was released on September 8, 2023, on Max and then premiered the next day, on September 9, on Cartoon Network.
