Throughout the first Season until episode 18 the babies wore diapers except for Taz and Tweety (but he was revealed diapered in a flashback in "The Littlest Tweety"). After that the babies wore nothing at all except Petunia who wore a pair of yellow frilled panties (Or rubber pants.).

The show has also featured toddler versions of Baby Porky, Baby Elmer, Baby Sam (as well as in "A Mid-Autumn Night's Scream", where Bugs dresses up as Sam for Halloween), Baby Gossamer, Baby Michigan (in one episode Sylvester hits a golden statue of him), Baby Wile E. & Road Runner, Baby Foghorn and Puppy Barnyard, Baby Pepé, Baby Duck Dodgers (in one episode Daffy dresses up as Dodgers for Halloween, which was "A Mid-Autumn Night's Scream"), Baby Marvin, Puppy K-9, and Baby Instant Martians (in same episode as Baby Duck Dodgers), usually during musical sequences between stories and in some episodes. Baby Speedy and Kitten Penelope never appeared in the show.

Britt McKillip, the voice for Baby Lola, was the only child actress; she began the role at the age of 11. The other cast members were adults.

June Foray, the voice for Granny, was the only American actress, while everyone else is Canadian.

Music

Underscoring for the series was written by veteran animation composers Steven Bernstein and Julie Bernstein. They were nominated for a Daytime Emmy (Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition) in 2006. They also composed the score for the Easter special, "Eggs-traordinary Adventure", writing the music and lyrics for the featured songs.
