Warner Bros. Cartoon Classics watch order

Old Warner Bros. Cartoon shows in order, by release and rating. Updated October 20, 2026.

These Warner Bros. cartoons don't share a story, so this nostalgia marathon runs in premiere order, from Tiny Toon Adventures (1990) through Animaniacs (1993) and the Kids' WB years to the Animaniacs revival (2020). Pinky and the Brain started inside Animaniacs, so watch a few Animaniacs episodes first.
