Steven Spielberg Presents Tiny Toon Adventures (also known as
Tiny Toon Adventures or
Tiny Toons) is an
American animated series created and produced as a collaborative effort between
Steven Spielberg's company
Amblin Entertainment and
Warner Bros. Animation.
Tiny Toon Adventures began production when Warner Bros. reinstated its animation studio in 1980 after a decade of dormancy. During the 1980s, the new studio only worked on revivals of the classic characters.
Tiny Toons was the first of many animated series from the studio. A major precedent for the series was the success of
Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which featured appearances by many of its famous cartoon characters, and was co-produced by
Amblin Entertainment.
Tiny Toon Adventures premiered in as a syndicated cartoon in 1990. In the third season the show was licensed exclusively to
Fox Kids and later
Kids WB. It ended production in 1995, then began airing in reruns on
Nickelodeon.
