Baby Looney Tunes is an American animated television series that shows Looney Tunes characters as toddlers. It was produced by Warner Bros. Animation.

The show premiered on WB stations usually before or after the Kids' WB! block on September 7, 2002. The show is similar to Muppet Babies, with the main characters taken care of by Granny.

Characters

The main characters are:

• Baby Bugs - He is indicated to be the oldest of the babies, which validates him as the leader. His leadership however does tend to cause dispute, especially with Lola and most especially Daffy.
• Baby Lola - She is second in the lead after Bugs but sometimes she takes charge. Her independence is greater than the others and she has more boyish tendencies than the other girls.
• Baby Daffy - Often he is self indulgent and always wants his personal gain. When problems arise, he believes it is himself who is treated unfairly, not noticing the inconvience inflicted on the others. Half the time, he does show and mean good intent.
• Baby Melissa - She often sticks with Petunia. She is a highly ambitious and thoughtful sort with a good nature, but at times she can be a control freak and get on the others nerves.
• Baby Petunia - She often sticks with Melissa. She is smarter than the other babies with insatiable curiosity.
• Baby Taz - As much as Taz is well behaved, he often mistakes various objects for food and sometimes breaks things with his spin. He has a sense of fun which exceeds all the others and he is prone to being a cry baby.
• Baby Tweety - The youngest and the smallest of the gang. Depicted as the brainstormer, because he comes up with ideas when the others are fresh out of them. He is very sensitive about his small frame (which he must overcome in most episodes centered around him) and curious about what he encounters.
• Baby Sylvester - At times he is shy and hesitant and he makes an easy target for Daffy to hoax and trade with. He is rarely seen using his claws. He likes to get attention from Granny more than the others.
• Granny - She offers professional love and care for the babies to keep them happy. The babies are fascinated and touched by her wisdom and her ability to overcome problems when they arise.
• Floyd Minton - Granny's nephew. Sometimes he is overwhelmed by the responsibility he takes on the babies but he is determined never to let Granny down. He often keeps an eye on one of the individual babies in each episode during Season 2.

Throughout the first Season until episode 18 the babies wore diapers except for Taz and Tweety (but he was revealed diapered in a flashback in "The Littlest Tweety"). After that the babies wore nothing at all except Petunia who wore a pair of yellow frilled panties (Or rubber pants).

The show has also featured toddler versions of Baby Porky, Baby Elmer, Baby Sam, Baby Gossamer, Baby Michigan, Baby Wile E. & Road Runner, Baby Foghorn and Puppy Barnyard, Baby Pepé, Baby Marvin, Puppy K-9, and Baby Instant Martians (in same episode as Baby Duck Dodgers), usually during musical sequences between stories and in some episodes. Baby Speedy and Baby Penelope never appeared in the show.

Britt McKillip, the voice for Baby Lola, was the only child actress; she began the role at the age of 11. The other cast members were adults.

June Foray, the voice for Granny, was the only American actress, while everyone else is Canadian.

Music

Underscoring for the series was written by veteran animation composers Steven Bernstein and Julie Bernstein. They were nominated for a Daytime Emmy (Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition) in 2006. They also composed the score for the Easter special, "Eggs-traordinary Adventure", writing the music and lyrics for the featured songs.
