Looney Tunes is an American animated comedy theatrical short film series produced by Warner Brothers.
Throughout the years, both Hanna-Barbera and Looney Tunes have made several references to one another.
Connections
Blast-Off Buzzard
- Main article: Blast-Off Buzzard
- The Blast-Off Buzzard shorts themselves share similarities to the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner theatrical shorts.
Fantastic Max
- Main article: Fantastic Max
- At the end of the episode, "Movie Star Max," there's a sequence where Max pops out to tell the viewers, "Th-th-that's it, folks!"
Flintstones
- Main article: Flintstones (franchise)
- In the Baby Looney Tunes episode, "The Wheel Deal," the Flintmobile makes a cameo when Bugs and the others are trying to make a brand new bike to fit Tweety's size.
- In celebration of Warner Bros.' 100th anniversary, they produced a special short which reimagined Looney Tunes characters taking a group photo together in Bedrock, but this is spoiled by Daffy who comes dressed as Fred and then Bamm-Bamm, even though Bugs and Sylvester were already covering them respectively.

Hokey Wolf
- Main article: Hokey Wolf (segments)
- The Hokey Wolf short, "Robot Plot," was likely inspired by the Looney Tunes short, Robot Rabbit.
It's the Wolf
- Main article: It's the Wolf
- The It's the Wolf shorts took partial inspiration from the Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog shorts.
Scooby-Doo
- Main article: Scooby-Doo (franchise)
- Scooby and Shaggy make cameos at the WB cafeteria in Looney Tunes: Back in Action, where they are voiced by Frank Welker and Casey Kasem respectively.
- Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner make cameo appearances in the What's New, Scooby-Doo? episode, "New Mexico, Old Monster," with the Road Runner's voice being from an archival recording of Paul Julian.
- Tweety also makes a cameo in Avery's bird watching guidebook.
- For Warner Bros.' 100th anniversary, they teamed up with Funko to release Looney Tunes Pops with a Scooby-Doo motif. A crossover short was made for Cartoon Network's Acme Fools month-long marathon, based on the same Funko Pop renderings with the Looney Tunes cast as Mystery Inc. attempting to unmask the Ghost of Mr. Hyde.
Other
- The concept for the unrealized project, Toing Tiger likely became the character Cool Cat.
