Ever wonder what your favorite cartoon characters would be like as kids, babies, or even teens? Some of the best shows took our beloved characters and gave them an age flip, letting us see them in a totally new (and often cuter or more grown-up) way. Whether they’re solving mysteries, causing trouble, or just figuring out life, these spin-offs brought a fun twist to nostalgic cartoons.
1. Tiny Toon Adventures
Who could forget Tiny Toon Adventures? This show features energetic students at Acme Looniversity. With characters like Babs and Buster Bunny, Plucky Duck, and others, we got to see the next generation of toon stars in their own wacky, wild adventures. The show was a perfect blend of humor, slapstick comedy, and clever nods to the original Looney Tunes gang.

2. The Flintstone Kids
The Flintstone Kids took us back to Bedrock with a fresh twist. Instead of the grown-up Flintstones we all knew and loved, we got to see Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty as kids navigating the ups and downs of prehistoric school life. It was fun to imagine what these iconic characters might have been like as kids, with all the same charm and humor of the original series.

3. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo
What’s better than Scooby-Doo and the gang solving mysteries? How about seeing their younger versions solve mysteries in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo! This spin-off took the beloved characters from the classic mystery series and made them kids, giving us a glimpse into their early days of crime-solving. The show had all the fun and mystery of the original series, but with a cute, kid-friendly twist.

4. Muppet Babies
Technically, Muppet Babies started in the 80s, but it was a staple for so many of us growing up. It featured a bunch of adorable baby Muppets—like Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie—living out their wild imaginations and adventures in a playroom. The show was pure magic, turning everyday moments into epic adventures and reminding us just how fun being a kid could be.

5. Tom and Jerry Kids
Tom and Jerry Kids took the classic cat-and-mouse duo and turned them into adorable, pint-sized versions of themselves. With their playful antics and endless chase scenes, the show managed to capture the same humor and excitement of the original series, just with a cute, kid-friendly twist.

6. Yo Yogi!
Yo Yogi! took the classic Hanna-Barbera characters and gave them a fresh, kid-friendly twist by turning them into cool, hip versions of themselves. Yogi Bear and his friends were reimagined as kids, hanging out in Jellystone Park and getting up to all sorts of fun adventures. It was a perfect mix of retro charm with a modern twist!

7. Rugrats: All Grown Up!
While Rugrats was all about babies, Rugrats: All Grown Up! flipped the script by aging up Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, and the gang. We got to see them as tweens and teenagers dealing with more grown-up issues while still keeping their classic personalities. It was fun to revisit our favorite babies in a whole new stage of life!

8. Baby Looney Tunes
Baby Looney Tunes is such a cute and nostalgic throwback! Seeing Bugs, Daffy, Tweety, and the gang as little babies brought a whole new vibe to the classic Looney Tunes. It was funny, adorable, and just one of those shows that makes you think of simpler times growing up in the 90s and early 2000s. Total feel-good memories!
