Tiny Toons 25th anniversary

[JakeSully]

This month is the 25th anniversary to one of the funniest animated shows ever and one of the 90s animation greats.

I remembered seeing a sneak preview pilot episode on CBS when i was 9 and loved it, i watched the show on my local Fox every afternoon after school and taped every episode.

I even had a few t-shirts, Mcdonalds toys, ate the fruit snacks, ate the cereal and all that even played the games.

I watched it occasionally during its original run and a few years afterward. It was an interesting concept and it produced a couple of cool video games. It was weird seeing a reformed Elmer and Babs paved the way for Lola who slowly became cannon. Its one of my earliest T.V. memories since I was not even 3 at the time and it was cool getting to see it at the same tie Looney Tunes still aired its golden age cartoons regularly on both Nickelodeon and not long after the formative years of Cartoon Network. My age group is probably amongst the last that can say that.

Jake, check out the comic I linked you.

I love the show, saddens me that these characters haven't seen the light of day in many years.

I use to love this show, and I loved the snes and gameboy games. Kinda feel sorry for kid these days, they don't have these kinda wacky shows.

[ssjup81]

I remember when it was being talked about. In the Sunday paper, there was a short article about a new show that would start and it had a picture of Buster. I was stoked for it.

I watched Tiny Toons faithfully as a kid. I was going on 9 when it started. Everyday after school I would watch it on our Fox affiliate. It was funny and the characters were all likable. IMO, Warner Bros was definitely at its best during the 90s (comedy wise). We got some entertaining shows from that decade.

I used to love this show and watched it all of the time. We had the game for SNES, and my brother played it all of the time. Babs was always my favorite character and I even had a plush doll of her. We definitely had it good back in the day when it came to cartoons.

Kids today have wackier shows.

I loved this show, one of my earliest memories of laughing at a cartoon was the “Ahh Mango Juice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbepxXKCVRA)” bit. I’ll never forget the “Super Plucky-O Bros (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUa5AFVxKZM)" segment too. I was so amazed to see Mario referenced on TV that I actually ended up skipping school one day just so I could record it on my VCR.

It wasn’t as good as Animanicas, but Tiny Toons remains as one of the best cartoons of all time…in my humble opinion, of course.

Tiny Toon Adventures was a really really really good cartoon. It was nice to see reruns airing on The Hub.

[Wesley]

I liked the cartoon as a kid, but I don't remember much about it except the characters. I loved the intro. I read a comic based on the show when I was 7 or 8. I also played a Genesis/Mega Drive video game called Buster's Hidden Treasure when I was 11 or 12. I thought it was a decent platformer, but it got too hard for me towards the end, so I never finished it.

most of the new show today seem to be CGI, or hybrids :ohwell:

[Prowler]

Didn't watch much but I liked the little I did of it. Watched my VHS tape of How I Spent My vacation a ton of times as a kid. Despite being a Looney Tunes spin-off with mini-versions of Looney Tunes character, it really felt like its own thing and not a watered down version.

Also, I own 3 Tiny Toon games:

ACME All-Stars(Genesis)
Tiny Toons (NES)
Buster Busts Loose(SNES)

All pretty fun games. The didn't just slap the license on it. They actually made an effort. It's always a pleasure to replay Buster Busts Loose. ACME All-Stars was a fun sports game to play with friends. Have never gotten very far in the NES game, I must say.

I don't remember when The Hub dropped it, but I remember the last time seeing it there was in 2013. It's not that many years back.

[drgon78]

I am not talking about reruns, I mean they haven't used these characters in anything since. Well except a few cameos in Animaniacs but that was still a long time ago.

[JakeSully]

And who else thought Fifi was cute? i had a crush on her as a kid and thought she was a cutie.

[drgon78]

Yes, I had a crush on Fifi along with a lot of other animated and non-animated fictional characters.

I also dug Julie Bruin as well.

And is Plucky anyone's favorite character? he was soo funny and so was Buster.

And anyone surprised by that Beer episode? i remembered it aired 2 times and never again but luckily had it taped and glad it's on DVD. I remembered talking about in school with the other kids even in class when they were talking about alcholism on topics.

[Prowler]

Yea kinda surprising how Tiny Toons hasn't had a remake or some sort of revival. Wasn't the show quite popular? I mean, what kid in the 90s didn't like the Tiny Toons?

I also recall it took a long time for it to be released on DVD.

Plucky, everyone's favorite? Dunno who my favorite is, but it's a tie between Buster, Plucky and Hamton. I like Montana Max and Babs, too.

[drgon78]

My favorites were Buster, Babs, Fifi, and Plucky.

[ABrown]

Watched my VHS tape of How I Spent My vacation a ton of times as a kid.

I've never been able to figure out, is that an actual movie? Or is it multiple episodes combined?

I've always thought it as a movie. Unlike Quackbusters which was obviously a long episode compilation disguised as a movie, despite having some new stuff in it.

I remember playing Buster Busts Loose on the SNES so much as a kid. I LOVED the heck out of Wacky Sports Challenge. Me and my family use to play that game so much.

The fondest memories I have of the show was owning a VHS of How I Spent My Summer Vacation and a VHS which contained music video parodies.

Wacky Sports Challenge was the SNES game, I think. It wasn't as good as ACME All-Stars for the Genesis.

I also owned How I Spent my Vacation on VHS. And also owned a VHS with two episodes. The prom one and the one where Babs takes part in a soap opera called thirteen something.

[THGhost]

Hopefully we'll get "Spring Break" and "Night Ghoulery" released on DVD. It's all that's left before we have the entire series on DVD. I won't hold my breath though.
