Baby Looney Tunes is an American animated television series taking place in an alternate universe depicting the Looney Tunes characters as infant versions of themselves taken care by Granny.. It was produced by Warner Bros. Animation.
The show premiered as a full series on July 28, 2001 and returned to WB stations usually before or after the Kids' WB block from 2001 to 2003 and continued to air on Cartoon Network when the series ended on October 16, 2006 and reruns from December 2006 to July 2010. Reruns of the show returned August 17, 2015 to help promote the premiere of the new Uncle Grandpa special, "Uncle Grandpa Babies" but stopped in 2016.
All of the other Looney Tunes characters even Speedy Gonzales have made cameos over the course of the show's run, mainly as guest spots or during songs. Penelope Pussycat is only shown in still portraits. For example, she can be seen in parody paintings of Caesar Augustus, American Gothic and Cupid during the "Vive Le Pew" song at the end of the episode "The Dolly Vanishes/Duck's Reflucks". Also, there is Baby Marvin in "War of the Weirds".
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 movie, Baby Looney Tunes' Eggs-traordinary Adventure, writing the music and lyrics for the featured songs.
Warner Home Video has released 15 of the 53 episodes of Baby Looney Tunes, including the DVD of the only Baby Looney Tunes movie: Eggs-traordinary Adventure.
