Buster Bunny (voiced by Charlie Adler and John Kassir) is the leader of the Tiny Toons gang, a street-smart, blue and white male rabbit who has to deal with the challenges of a tough school curriculum, the machinations of rich kid and local bully Montana Max, and the advances of crazed and ditzy animal lover Elmyra Duff. Like Babs, he will do anything for a laugh, though he is marginally more sane and calm than his female counterpart.

Buster's adventures include outsmarting Montana Max numerous times, escaping from Elmyra's house, spending a vacation down on river, facing a wolverine, trying to get muscular, saving defenseless animals, playing with a virtual reality machine, discovering lost treasure, going to the prom with Babs, visiting the central of the Earth and directing a Christmas special.

Buster's parents, like many of the main characters on the show, have never been seen on screen. It is known that Buster does live with his mother however, because in Tiny Toons commercials, she has been referenced and has even been spoken to on the phone, mostly as a way to tell Buster that she was on her way home when he was having a party.

Buster has an extreme fondness for Bugs to the point of often imitating his mentor, such as using Bugs' "slap dance" technique from Bully for Bugs (though with considerably less success). Although cool and collected for the most part, there are instances where other characters will get the better of Buster, or some unfortunate mishap will befall him, unlike his mentor Bugs, who for the most part was always on top of his game.

It is shown in "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian" that Buster doesn't like riding on airplanes because he gets motion sickness. There he tried to persuade the script writers to make a rewrite regarding his dislike of air travel. Because they refused, he had no choice but to accept it.

Buster has parodied and portrayed many different characters and actors, from Superman to Chico Marx of the Marx Brothers. Buster is about 13 years old.

Buster's outfit is just a red shirt and white gloves, looking similar to Reader Rabbit's outfit. He wears no pants, which brings up the question implied in "The Looney Beginning" when he asks his creator for some clothes "for the censors". His body is light blue and white.

Like their adult counterpart, Buster (and at times along with Babs) begin any attempts at mischief with: "Of course you realize, this means war." However, in order to make the line his own, Buster then adds: "Buster (and Babs) style!"

Buster's solo end tag alone (spoken without Babs) is: "And that's a wrap!"

Buster makes cameos in Animaniacs and Batman: The Animated Series. He's also mentioned in the Cow and Chicken segment I Am Clichéd.

Voice actor

Buster's original voice actor Charlie Adler was disappointed that he did not get a recurring character in the new show Animaniacs, while minor Tiny Toons actors like Rob Paulsen and Frank Welker were given main roles. He sent angry letters to the producers, citing that his treatment had been "shabby" and that he was going to leave the show. When Adler dropped out, the studio still had a handful of episodes to record, so they re-cast the role of Buster with John Kassir. He performed Buster's voice in "The Return of Batduck" and "It's A Wonderful Tiny Toon Christmas Special" in 1992; in 1994 and 1995 he reprised the role for "Night Ghoulery", and "Tiny Toons Spring Break Special". He also played the character in Animaniacs, Buster and the Beanstalk and the promos on Kids' WB. In the movie Rob Paulsen did Buster's "singing" during the Deliverance parody. Charlie Adler finally returned to voice Buster in the 2002 game Defenders of the Looniverse.
