The popularity of animated programming surged in the 1990's and Warner Brothers' answer to films like Disney's The Little Mermaid and the increasingly popular Nickelodeon was Tiny Toons, a series of afternoon cartoons aimed squarely at kids. While drawing inspiration from the Looney Tunes cartoons of the 1930's through 1960's, Tiny Toons featured a cast of all-new animated personalities in modern settings and situations. Buster Bunny and Babs Bunny (no relation) reside in Acme Acres, home of Acme Looniversity where Looney Tunes greats Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Yosemite Sam make the occasional appearance as professors.Buster and Babs, along with their many friends including Plucky Duck and Hamton Pig, are committed to foiling the ever-greedy plans of rich boy Montana Max, struggling to escape the overly-loving clutches of Elmyra Duff, and generally getting themselves into one crazy predicament after another. Silly humor; parodies of well-known movies, television shows, and fairytales; and sly social commentary abound in these 35 adventure tales. Kids ages 5 years and older will love this series and adults will thoroughly enjoy episodes like The Twilight Zone spoof "The Acme Acres Zone" and Star Wars spoof "A Quack in the Quarks" as well as the wacky appearances of Looney Tunes characters from their own childhoods. The bonus "From Looney Tunes to Tiny Toons: A Wacky Evolution" features interviews with executive producer Jean MacCurdy, several story editors, and a host of others involved in Tiny Toons and details the vision for Tiny Toons as well as some background on the original Looney Tunes cartoons and its creators. --Tami Horiuchi

- childhood memories
aaahhh! i used to watch this as a kid and still do after i bought this set. it's funny, great stories, and sort of you can learn something from the episodes.
Rating: - A must-have for people who remember Tiny Toons
I enjoyed Tiny Toons very much when I was a kid, and I enjoy it just as much now that I'm in my twenties.It's very funny (complete with classic cartoon gags and breaking-the-fourth-wall humor) and very creative (the first episode, for example, shows Buster and Babs designing the cartoon themselves).If you have children, I recommend this cartoon to them; it's much better than the neutered, saccharine garbage that is the modern cartoon.

Rating: - tiny toons before homework
I remember when this cartoon used to come on in the afternoons. I would rush home from school and catch every episode before doing my homework.Everything is exactly as I remembered. I definitely recommend this to everyone who still has love for toons.
Rating: - They're tiny, they're toony, they're all a little loony...but we love 'em :)
I've been really happy with this collection and would highly recomend it for familys.Also, this item is a must-have for any fans of Tiny Toon Adventures.I think the studio is testing the marketability of this series, so hopefully more seasons will follow.

- The beginning of WB silver age animation, with rough patches
I remember when this series first came out on weekday afternoons.I enjoyed it immensely and found lots of laughs and fun stories.Some of the humor is definitely dated to the early 90s, the culture and personalities of the day, but I think children, youths and adults can still find plenty to enjoy about it.This series was essentially the beginning of a string of animated hits from Warner Brothers during the 90s television animation revival, roughly coinciding with Disney's launch of a high-quality ...
