The cartoons themselves are fashioned after the old Looney Toons: silly and sometimes absurd the simple plots are mainly an excuse to get the action going. If one cartoon is a little lame or just doesn't hit, in a few minutes it will be over and the next one is more likely to hit. Many of the half hour shows consists of three short cartoons featuring one or more of the characters surrounded by a framing segment. There they take classes in how to be a funny cartoon by none other than Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Porky Pig and the rest of the Looney Toons gang. The whole group lives in Acme Acres where they attend Acme Looniversity. Hampton Pig is a shy hog with a speech impediment, and Calamity Coyote creates hair-brained contraptions that never seem to work.Īdded to the redesigned characters are a couple of totally new toons Montana Max, a filthy rich kid who loves to lord his wealth over everyone one and Elmira, a young girl who is constantly chasing the 'cutie bunnies' and wants to lavish possibly leathal attention on them.

They are joined by Plucky Duck, a greedy fowl who is always trying to hog the spotlight but totally different from Daffy Duck: Where Daffy has black feathers, Plucky has green. The stars are Babs and Buster Bunny (no relation) male and female version of Bugs. Not wanting to use Bugs Bunny and the other classic WB characters, this series consists of several younger cartoons that are none-to-subtle rip offs of the studio's famous icons. This classic cartoon has finally made its way to DVD, albeit in the dreaded half-season format. With inventive and comical scripts, high production values, full animation, and gags that appealed to adults as well as children, the show was an instant hit. They brought Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment on board and the result was Tiny Toon Adventures, a sort of second generation of Looney Toon characters. This trend was noticed by the execs at Warner who reasoned that if Disney could make money with a syndicated show, surely they could too.

Starting with 1987's Duck Tales, the company had a string of cartoon hits including Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers and Tale Spin (which would eventually be joined by Darkwing Duck and Goof Troop.) These half hour comic shows were well written and funny, and pushed the cartoons based on action figure lines off the schedule.

In 1990 Disney owned the syndicated afternoon animation market.
