Class is back in session for the next generation of Looney Tunes, as the Tiny Toons are back and better than ever inTiny Toons Looniversity. Children of the 90s will remember theSteven Spielberg-produced animated seriesTiny Toon Adventures, which chronicled the many wacky scenarios that titular Tiny Toons got up to. At the same time, they trained to become the following members of the ever-exclusive Looney Tunes. Contrary to popular belief, the show’s characters are not younger versions of famous figures like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and so on. Instead, many of the Tiny Toons are mentees and family members of their more famous counterparts, such is the case for the lead character of Buster Bunny, who is learning everything he knows from his teacher Bugs Bunny.
Almost 30 years afterTiny Toon Adventuresended its Emmy-nominated run in 1995, the Tiny Toons are back forTiny Toon Looniversity. Though the Toons have clearly grown up a bit, with the prestigious school of Acme Looniversity now looking much more like a college than an elementary school, they still seem like the lovable little scamps we all fell in love with all those years ago. To learn more about the revival’s trailer, cast, release window, and more, here is everything we know so far aboutTiny Toons Looniversity.
