Kushi TV shot of the intro
There was a Tamil dub of Tiny Toon Adventures that was aired on Chutti TV from 2007-2010 and in 2011-2013, along with other classic cartoons made by Warner Bros and other companies. However, in 2010, these classic cartoons, including Tiny Toons, were removed from the schedule, and were replaced with another group of cartoons, including Dora the Explorer. They were probably returned in 2011, after Chutti TV stopped airing Dora the Explorer at the time. They probably were removed again in 2014. This makes the Tamil dub of the show lost, as no episodes have been found online. It is unlikely it will be found, as it has not aired for nine years and there are no plans by Sun Group to air it on Chutti TV again. There are sources of Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Loonatics Unleashed!, etc. being aired in the past on Chutti TV's sister channels Kochu TV, Chintu TV and Kushi TV. Tiny Toon Adventures was referred to as "Ciriya Tun Cakacnal", when it was airing on Kochu TV in Malayalam. There are sources of Animaniacs airing on Chutti TV in the past, first as "Vaal Pasanga!" from 2007-2010, and then under it's original name around 2011-2013. Pinky and the Brain aired on Chutti TV as "Chinnavaney Periyavanay!" from 2007-2010 and around 2011-2013. Loonatics Unleashed aired on Chutti TV around 2011-2013. Mickey Mouse and Friends aired on the channel in 2016. The Pink Panther (1993) aired on the channel in 2013. The Smurfs (1981) aired on the channel in 2015. The reason why Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Loonatics Unleashed!, Mickey Mouse and Friends, Pink Panther, The Smurfs (1981), etc. stopped airing on Chutti TV and it's sister channels and the reason why the shows are replaced with another group of cartoons, including Dora the Explorer are currently unknown, though it is most likely that these cartoons are very old and that the channel requires educational programming content. A person uploaded a video of the theme song of Tiny Toon Adventures on YouTube, supposedly containing the Tamil dub of the Tiny Toon Adventures theme song, titled "Tiny Toon Adventures|Cartoon Network|Nostalgic 90's Tamil". The3Kittens viewed the video and the video turned out to be the original version of the Tiny Toon Adventures theme song in English and the video turns out to be a hoax. A recreation of what the Animaniacs Tamil dub would look like was uploaded to YouTube, titled "Yakko's World Tamil Fandub", which is a Tamil fandub of the Animaniacs segment, "Yakko's World". The Tamil dub of the American live-action/animation hybrid sports comedy feature film Space Jam, released by Warner Bros. in 1996, that aired on Chutti TV's parent channel, Sun TV was released on DVD.
A recreation of a still of the dub was created by The3Kittens. Some people, such as Nintendofanpokemon2 claimed that they have seen the dub. It is unknown if Sun Group will air Tiny Toon Adventures on Chutti TV again as it is old and is 31 years old. However, It is becoming more likely for Sun Group to air Tiny Toon Adventures and other classic cartoons again, due to the fact that Animaniacs got it's reboot in 2020 and Tiny Toon Adventures will get a reboot by 2022. It is unknown if it was released on VCD (Video CD, a CD-based DVD-like format popular in Europe and Asia, albeit of lower quality than DVD.) and DVD. It is unknown if anyone owns a VCD or a DVD of this dub. It is unknown if this dub was even released on VHS. However, it is less likely, due to the fact that VHS was already an obsolete video format at the time of the dub. The information about the existence of the dub was initially very scarce, but when The3Kittens viewed an old TV programming list from 2013, from The Hindu. The3Kittens found out that Tiny Toon Adventures and Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain were on the Chutti TV programming list, so it became clear and became confirmed that the dub exists. The dub was unknown to most people. Even Sun Group didn't find this in their own media archives.
However, there is a petition to bring the show and other classic cartoons back onto the channel. If the petition succeeds, it is unknown if the same dub will air or if a new one will be produced. It is said by The3Kittens that it will call 99 Fandom users from Fandom Wikis such as Tiny Toon Adventures Wiki, Animaniacs Wiki, The Smurfs Wiki, Disney Wiki, Looney Tunes Wiki, Tom and Jerry Wiki etc to sign in the petition. After the petition succeeds, the petition through JPG photos will be sent to Chutti TV's Facebook page. If Sun Group, owner of Chutti TV agreed with the petition, then the classic cartoons will air.
