Goofs

The theme song says "The teaching staff's been getting laughs since 1933." No member of the Acme Looniversity faculty of classic Looney Tunes characters appeared in cartoons that early. The first to debut was Porky Pig, who first appeared in"I haven't got a hat" in 1935. They had to choose a number that ended in "3" so the opening theme song would rhyme, and 1933 is the closest year to 1935 that ends in a 3.

User Reviews

Best spin off series of the Looney Tunes

Unlike the average Looney Tunes, this series contains characters resembling Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, etc.

Their younger, hipper, and have different attitudes.

Buster Bunny and Babs Bunny are the stars of the show. While they're accompanied by other crazy and funny characters.

Every episode is like seeing a Looney Tune short. Only set in the 90s and the gags are the same.

You get to see the old school Looney Tunes appearing in a few episodes every now and then. The Tiny Tunes go to Acme University to learn how to be funny from the Looney tunes. Often you'd see Foghorn Leghorn or Bugs Bunny as a Teacher in most episodes.

Best of all this is one of the earliest Spielberg cartoons. Because Spielberg likes Looney Tunes so he produced this series. And sometimes includes himself in a few episodes.

It's a must see series. And probably one of the best things from the early 90s. It only lasted for 3 seasons. And hope one day it'll be available to own on DVD. It's also something that the whole family can watch. Those who grew up watching it still love it, and the new generation may enjoy it too.
