Looney Tunes is a Warner Brothers animated cartoon series which ran in many movie theatres from 1930 to 1969. During production over 60 Looney Tunes characters were born (see full character list). However the great majority has been forgotten (e.g. Bosko). The modern Looney Tunes characters are those that have been made famous by the movies Who Framed Roger Rabbit and more importantly Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back in Action and also by the TV series Tiny Toon Adventures, Taz-Mania, The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries and more recently Duck Dodgers. Another TV series would be Baby Looney Tunes but the only real character in it is Granny the other are baby versions of the originals. Some of the modern Looney Tunes characters rarely appear in the original shorts (Taz only shows up in five of them) and others do not appear at all (e.g. Lola Bunny or Queen Tyr'ahnee).
This list only folds the names of these modern characters and some data on them. For more info see the full character list, also for more info one each character see the Main Article links.
