It seems that some of you may have confused Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs. Easy mistake. Allow me to help.


Here's some of the Tiny Toons cast. Steven Spielberg Presents Tiny Toon Adventures premiered on Fox as sort of a new take on the old Warner Brothers animation cast. They attended Acme Looniversity and studied under their golden age predecessors, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, et al.

When the WB Network debuted, TTA moved to that channel, but by then was done its run. Tiny Toons spawned a slew of video games, toys, and music albums, as well as a direct-to-video release, "How I Spent My Summer Vacation".


Here's some of the Animaniacs cast. Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs started on the WB Network, and was one of the flagship shows for the WB's Saturday morning lineup. It centered around the actual Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister, Dot), who were created in the 1920's, but deemed too oddball and crazy and out-of-control to be allowed to run free and were locked up in the studio's water tower. They would break out and cause mayhem, and along the way we met a cast full of nutzo characters like Pinky and the Brain, Slappy Squirrel and her nephew Skippy, Mindy and Buttons, etc, etc. It spawned toys and video games ranging from the Sega Genesis to the Gamecube and PS2, its own share of music CDs, and a 10-minute short "I'm Mad", which aired before the animated version of "Thumbelina".


This is Steven Spielberg. He used to make entertaining movies and shows, but then he won an Oscar and now he only makes Very Serious™ movies or Shitty Sequels to Established Films™.

I feel sad for the people that cannot distinguish their Animaniacs from their Tiny Toons. Both were glorious. But totally different animals of silliness.

I think the confusion that sponsored this post was concerning a segment that didn't involve identifiable characters, possibly involving TMBG. I'm personally unsure if TMBG did one show or both...

The episode I remember was on Tiny Toons. Istanbul (Not Constantinople) featured Plucky traveling the desert on camelback, and "Particle Man" was about him playing a video game and he ended up in a spaceship. Maybe TMBG did some Animaniacs stuff, but that's where I remember them primarily.

...THIS IS USELESS SHIT STUCK IN MY HEAD FOREVER.

No, my friend. "Particle Man" was about wrestlers. The bit with the video game was set to "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy".

...I'm scared I even remembered that.

I'm pretty sure Tiny Toons did a video to "The Sun" as well, but it's educational enough to be on Animaniacs...

I had Babs and Buster Bunny (no relation) in stuffed doll form, and my friends and I would bump their heads together to make them kiss all the time.

I am going to get a babs icon now.

I fucking LOVED Tiny Toons. Animaniacs was OKAYYYYY, but it didn't fill the gaping hole in my heart.
