BURBANK, CA (June 3, 2008) –Warner Home Video (WHV) brings the hit, hilarious animated television series Tiny Toon Adventures and Freakazoid! to DVD July 29, 2008. Tiny Toon Adventures, Season 1, Volume 1, will feature 35 episodes and bonus material on four discs, and will retail for $44.98 SRP.

They’re tiny, they’re toony, they’re all a little loony! Executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Tiny Toon Adventures is a Daytime Emmy® Award animated series that spawned a whole new generation of madcap Looney Toons characters including Buster Bunny, Babs Bunny, Plucky Duck, Hamton J. Pig, among others. The characters reside in Acme Acres and are enrolled at Acme Looniversity, where they are schooled under the wise (guy) guidance of veteran toon legends such as Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd and others in hopes of graduating with a "Diploma of Lunacy." The series originally premiered in 1990 and aired for three seasons.
Freakazoid! made its television debut and aired for two seasons. Also, executive produced by Spielberg, this Daytime Emmy® Award-winning series chronicles the adventures of Freakazoid, a manic, insane superhero who battles a vast array of super villains. Freakazoid is the alter-ego of geeky teen Dexter Douglas, who upon surfing the web one night, is swept into a digital techno-electric smash up that zaps him in the gigabytes and he is transformed from geek to Freakazoid, a smart-mouthing, butt-kicking, mega-voltage superhero.
“Tiny Toon Adventures and Freakazoid! were both original, funny, refreshing and ahead of their time,” said Amit Desai, WHV Vice President, Family, Animation and Sports Marketing. He added, “Both series combined edgy comedic writing with vibrant animation that captured a wide range of audiences. We are delighted to add these two new titles to our animation library and believe they will be well received by consumers.”

Our Review of Tiny Toon Adventures v1
When the series was first aired in 1990, I was no longer a child, or at least I did not consider myself a child. However, the love of animation and cartoons is something that had not left with my adolescence (actually it is something that luckily has continued to remain a part of me even through today). This was a new cartoon that I may have been embarrassed to tell my friends, that I enjoyed. I may not have set my watch to make sure I was home to watch each new episode, but it was something that I did watch when I happened to have seen it while surfing through the TV stations. I do not know why the show was so compelling to me and other adults (although I am sure kids loved it as well). The characters, although created as younger selves of the animations we remembered while growing up, were still familiar friends. However, the characters themselves were developed slightly different than their older selves. Take Buster Bunny for instance. Obviously based on the beloved Bugs Bunny with the same charm and panache for trickery, but Buster still behaved a bit differently, with unique characters, such as loyalty and leadership that was not as profound in Bugs.
Besides Buster, there was Plucky Duck (Daffy), Hampton J. Pig (Porky), as well as younger reincarnations of the characters we knew so well. In addition, the series created a female counterpart to Buster -- Babs Bunny, for which there was really no equivalent in any of the original series. Each of these characters had their own idiosyncrasies about them that made them both enjoyable to watch as well as lovable to all viewers. I must also admit that although the series was geared for the younger (much younger) viewer, the writers provided many jokes and gags that were on two levels so that old fans of the show (or just old fans) were able to take away jokes and sarcasm that was on two different levels.
The show was well written and well produced and it was a shame that it only lasted three seasons, although was in syndication of the reruns for many years afterwards. However, the baby characters did create a secondary merchandising boom that went on well beyond the three years of the show, and even continues on today (although baby Buster is still many times misidentified as being a baby Bugs).
This is a great animated series not only for the younger viewers (who may have never seen this), but for us older viewers as well.
