Spin-offs
Though Animaniacs was not technically a follow-up to Tiny Toons, several of the characters from Tiny Toons made cameos. The most notable of all of these is Elmyra's in the short "Lookit the Fuzzy Heads." Believing the Warners were dogs, Elmyra chased Yakko, Wakko, and Dot out of Dr. Scratchansniff's office and through the city, until finally the three tricked Elmyra into following Mindy, which resulted in Elmyra continually getting hurt (not to mention saving Buttons the trouble of the pursuit). In a way, this ending was especially appropriate in that Mindy and Elmyra were similar characters. Both are young girls who love their pets but are oblivious to the pain they inflict upon them. She made a cameo in the following episode, "The Warner's 65th Anniversary special", wishing Yakko, Wakko, and Dot a happy anniversary, and appeared a couple of times on A Hard Days Warners, as one of Their fans. Incidentally Yakko, Wakko, and Dot made a cameo on Tiny Toons Spring Break Special, but not being chased by Elmyra.
Elmyra later acquired newly-homeless Pinky and the Brain in a short-lived series in 1998 (in which Pinky is adjusting well to his new life but the Brain has problems living with his mistress, Elmyra) — notable only for the Christopher Walken-esque madman who was pursuing the two mice for his own world domination plans. Although she has essentially the same personality and lives in Acme Acres, her character on Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain is different from her character on Tiny Toon Adventures in several ways: she goes to school with other human kids rather than her Tiny Toons co-stars, her family is absent, and she harbors an unrequited crush on a different boy, Rudy Mookich (voiced by Nancy Cartwright), who does not return her affections either. A running gag here is that Elmyra continually washes Brain's mouth whenever he says either something that she would find offensive or merely scientific jargon that she can't understand (she calls it "naughty-waughty potty talk"). Curiously, Pinky and the Brain had earlier made a cameo as two of Elmyra's caged pets in the Tiny Toons Spring Break special. Also, when Brain makes a cameo in the Tiny Toons Night Ghoulery Special, Elmyra remarks, "I'll play with you later," a possible foreshadowing. Elmyra appears in A.F.L.O.A.T. along with the rest of them like Plucky, Hamton, Dizzy, Little Beeper, Calamity Coyote, Shirley, Fifi, Furball, Sweetie, Sneezer, Concord, Barky Marky, Mary Melody and others for a cameo.
