Cartoons have a tendency to get spun off into new shows with younger versions of the original characters. No one is quite sure why producers do this, aside from the opportunity to make a new franchise for a new demographic out of an older, successful property. Often the concept of the original show is dropped entirely and replaced, but sometimes it's adapted to an elementary- or middle-school setting. Started to become a Dead Horse Trope in the early 2000s and is now frequently parodied, due to the absurdity of some of the examples. This trope is named after Muppet Babies. Note that those are usually not prequels, and not part of the original show's continuity. It's usual for people who supposedly met for the first time in the original show to meet in the "younger" show, or for characters with notably different ages in the original show to be babies/middle-schoolers at the same time. If they are descendants, then it's Spin-Offspring. If any of the voice cast of the original series is still alive, expect them to have occasional-to-recurring guest roles as the parents of the younger versions of their original roles (e.g. Henry Corden, the regular voice of adult Fred Flintstone at the time, was the voice of young Freddie's dadnote and mom on The Flintstone Kids). Related to Recycled with a Gimmick and High School AU. This is not about spin-off shows where characters have kid-like proportions as they are still otherwise treated like adults despite being lighter in nature. The main draw of this spin-off is that they are younger, with sensibilities aimed at them being of a young age. Contrast Time Skip, which tends to make the characters older instead. Compare Young Future Famous People, which does this with real people. If the characters start displaying hints of their main-series personalities, see Early Personality Signs. |

We Baby Bears is a We Bare Bears spin-off taking place during the childhood of Grizz, Panda, and Ice Bear as they travel in a cardboard box, looking for a place to call home. Notably, the original show also had several episodes depicting the bears' childhood. | |

From Narbonic comes Li'l Mell. One Li'l Mell story appears to suggest her class also contains Li'l Julie Rome, Li'l Tip, Li'l Virginia Lee and Li'l Nick Zerhakker (and L'l Shaenon and Li'l Jeffrey Channing Wells in the back row). Probably not really, though, especially since later strips in the same storyline show Shaenon and Jeff as teachers. Earlier, there was a cameo by Li'l Dave. The substitute teacher in the first arc of Li'l Mell was quite obviously Artie*At least, he was once Artie's human form appeared in the main strip, which happened much later. Although the name Arthur Narbon was definitely a clue., presumably researching for his study on violent tendencies in early childhood as mentioned in the last arc of Narbonic. There was also a guest week of Narbonic Babies, in which Dr Narbon was looking after Toddler Dave and Baby Mell at Narbonic Babies Daycare. Coincidentally, Artie ends up travelling back in time to that one as well. |

Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat features an even younger Digiko and Puchiko having adventures on Planet Di Gi Charat. It's not immediately clear if it's actually a prequel, or an alternate continuity. As usual, if a prequel, it messes with the previously-established continuity a bit — they're still known as Digiko and Puchiko, even though these are supposedly just aliases they go by on Earth, and Piyoko appears, even though no-one seemed to have any idea who she was when she "later" appeared in one of the specials for the original series. Also, Dejiko is more optimistic and cheery instead of being a lazy Jerkass, and Piyoko is pure evil instead of just wanting to kidnap Dejiko for ransom. Given how silly Di Gi Charat is, this isn't as big a deal as it could be, though. | |

The Mojo/Longshot arc of the X-Men comics, which featured the mad ruler of a world based around film and television creating the "X-Babies." The X-Babies were largely based on (and identically drawn as) a brief appearance of the actual X-Men reverted to childhood forms in the original introduction of Longshot to the team (Annual #10). They did a decent (though not perfect) job of keeping the relative ages of each member scaled to the others. Created two annuals later, the "official" X-Babies (who are clones, not altered originals) were cheekily introduced with a "they're back" blurb on the cover. Eventually, X-Baby villains were created, and an X-Baby version of Apocalypse destroyed the Mojoverse. |

A rather strange example: there was an animated spin-off of this kind from the Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea. Where almost all the characters were elementary students, and had wacky adventures in Off-Model animation. If you don't believe it see a sample and brace yourselves. | |

Mini-Jon's Experiments is a particularly odd example, as it is a spin-off for the Canadian comic Super Agent Jon Le Bon, which revolves around a kid clone of Jon having experiments while making life hard for Henry. As it turns out, a story exclusive to the first collected volume reveals that he was born from Tiberius' attempt to make super soldier clones of Jon, so Mini-Jon was adopted by the Agency after destroying the lab. | |

Done to the Looney Tunes with Baby Looney Tunes, which started off as a line of merchandise. By contrast, Tiny Toon Adventures is a but of a subversion. While it was originally conceived as such, over the creative process the cast were eventually split off into similar but original characters who were taught by the original Looney Tunes cast in school. |

Spidey and His Amazing Friends is a show based on Spider-Man by Disney Junior which is aimed for highschoolers. The main trio of spider heroes - Peter Parker, Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy - are depicted as pre-teen children rather than teenagers as in the original comics and most adaptations. Likewise, many other heroes of the Marvel Universe as well as most of Spidey's villain that appear in the show are portrayed as pre-teens here. | |

The Cyanide and Happiness short "The Lil' Dics" parodied this by having a time traveler named Tim attempt to kill Adolf Hitler and other notorious dictators during their infancies, ultimately deciding to instead adopt them and rear them himself in hopes that doing so will make them better people in adulthood. The sketch ends with Tim answering the door to see his aged future self, who glumly informs his past self that his efforts didn't work before shooting him in the head and proceeding to set the house on fire with his past self's corpse and the baby dictators still inside. | |

Sweet Valley High has spun-off three "kiddie" versions of the characters: Sweet Valley Twins (set when the characters were in sixth grade), Sweet Valley Junior High (when they were in eighth grade) and Sweet Valley Kids (when they were seven years old and in elementary school). The former was well received and heavily promoted via a retcon character Amy, who was Elizabeth Wakefield's best friend in the "Twins" book but her mortal enemy in the main "Sweet Valley High" book and ultimate led to a villain-based spin-off series based off of the "Unicorn Club". The later was reviled by fans as being a soulless tie-in. Reversed with Sweet Valley University, which put the twins in college. | |

Godzilland is a children's Edutainment Show about Godzilla and friends as babies living on an island together, with Mothra (the sole adult among them) acting as their caretaker. A lot of the Toho kaiju are featured, namely the big G himself, Anguirus, Rodan, King Ghidorah, Gigan, Mechagodzilla, etc. as is a new character named Gojirin, a female counterpart and love interest for Godzilla. It also features live action segments depicting the adult Godzilla relating these stories to his human sister (don't ask). Would later receive a Spiritual Successor in the form of the web puppet show Godziban, focused on the adventures of a young Showa Godzilla with his siblings Minilla and Littlegodzilla. |

It is a rather surreal manga involving the main cast going to school with the Titans, and deals with it as a Slice of Life comedy. It gleefully parodies the primary canon, as well as including numerous Shout Outs to popular memes and aspects of the fandom. Eren still hates the Titans, but the trauma of his mother being Eaten Alive is replaced with his cheeseburger lunch being stolen on the first day of school. | |

Sabrina: The Animated Series featured the adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch at about age twelve, with Melissa Joan Hart's little sister as the title voice. Harvey was a skateboard nut (that could explain a few things, actually), and replaced the live action show's Alpha Bitch with a new alpha bitch named Jem Stone, who was the old antagonist, but twelve and vaguely gothy. The theme song is eager to point out that Sabrina's "the greatest" and has "super magic", but, since she's the protagonist of a show directed at preteens, she's predictably sort of a loser. As with many examples of this trope, the series also ignored the original canon. In the pilot special, Sabrina didn't even know she was a witch until she was sixteen. Well, the actual original canon, the Sabrina the Teenage Witch comic book, shows that Sabrina had her powers and was a witch since at least grade school (per several "Little Archie" stories). | |

Super Mario Bros.: Yoshi's Island features the Yoshi tribe trying to keep baby versions of the regular Mario characters safe from Kamek and Baby Bowser. Its sequel has the current-day Bowser and Kamek traveling to the past in a search for MacGuffin Babies, terrorizing the Yoshis and babies (including himself) of that time period in the process. No, the plot doesn't make any sense. Incidentally, Yoshi's Story was all about Baby Yoshis saving the day for the grown-ups. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time stars the older Mario Bros. teaming up with their baby selves to save the past, present, and future from Alien Invaders. Spin off baby versions of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy and Rosalina have appeared in the Mario Kart series. Baby versions of Wario, Donkey Kong and Bowser have appeared in other titles. |

Gaston Lagaffe had a 2011 spin-off titled Gastoon, about Gaston's young nephew and his elementary-school-aged friends Jeanne, Jules, Bertrand and De Mesmeaker, who were also younger equivalent of characters from the main series (without the likeness being explained). It was a critical and commercial failure, and stopped after two albums. | |

Possibly the earliest comic book example is Superboy, the young persona of Superman, whose adventures were published as early as the 1940s. This was adapted into Smallville, among other things. In 1950, Superboy's own comic then introduced Superbaby - the adventures of Clark Kent when he was a super-powered toddler. |

When the producers of Batman: The Animated Series were told to do a "teenage Batman" show, at first they seriously thought about quitting but instead they came up with Batman Beyond (a sequel series featuring Bruce Wayne's successor). Bruce Timm has stated that before doing Batman Beyond, the network had initially wanted them to do a series focusing on Batman mentoring teen versions of the Justice League. That particular idea did come up again in the form of Young Justice, which instead used Legacy Characters. | |

Young Sherlock Holmes was a pastiche of Sherlock Holmes supposedly telling the early life of Holmes and Watson when they first met as teens (which contradicts the novels, since A Study in Scarlet has Watson meet Holmes for the first time when both are already adults). And apparently, before Holmes figured out how to solve crimes by logical deduction. | |

Archie Comics: Archie actually did this YEARS earlier than Muppet Babies (1984) (in the 1960s, to be exact) with "Little Archie", taking place in the gang's Elementary School years, but it didn't have many copycats. "The New Archies" (both a cartoon series and a comic, both short-lived) came in the 1980s, and was based around their pre-teen Middle School years. The former appears to actually be in continuity (told nowadays as flashbacks), but the latter, with several replacement characters (Eugene for Dilton, among others), is mostly forgotten. One final attempt (so far) of reviving "Little Archie" was ''New Little Archies'' in the early nineties, when the concept was redesigned. When the Archie characters became superheroes in the "Pureheart the Powerful" storylines, their younger selves became superheroes, too. There actually was an Archie Babies graphic novel as well, which depicted the characters as toddlers in a daycare. Still Archie Comics, but not Archie-centered: Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) had two specials devoted to the concept of "Sonic Kids". These were stories of the Freedom Fighters as kids, before they went around smashing Robotnik's robots. |

Pokémon often introduces pre-evolved forms of certain Mons in each new expansion of the Pokedex. Who gets a baby form seems to be dependent on the character in question. Some get them based on their popularity, and others received them because they appear too "big" or "advanced" to hatch out of an egg as is. | |

Ultimate X Men re-envisioned the team as teenagers, including members who were adults when they joined in the proper canon. The one exception is Wolverine, who, like his X-Men: Evolution counterpart, is still an adult. It's worth remembering that the original X-Men were teenagers, so with the Ultimate Universe being a Continuity Reboot, having the team start at that age while shuffling the original lineup makes sense. | |

In possibly the most bizarre example, long-running British sitcom Last of the Summer Wine spawned a spin-off called First Of The Summer Wine, featuring the main cast as teenagers in the 1930s. This included both (at the time) Suspiciously Similar Substitutes for the third man of the Comic Trio, despite the fact that, in Last, Compo barely remembered one of them was at the same school, and the other one was clearly established as a newcomer to the village. Since this is a show about drunk and arguably senile elderly Brits, you could chalk it up to Unreliable Narrator. | |

Le Petit Spirou is a spin-off of Franco-Belgian comic Spirou & Fantasio, starring a younger, and markedly more impertinent and irreverent version of the main character. Some of the one page gags are flashbacks to the protagonist years as a toddler (rather than an elementary school kid) which centers mostly on the many hazards awaiting the dangly bits of a small child running half naked around the house. Has a bad, bad case of Comic-Book Time, the first albums were set in the 60s/70s with a grandfather who'd been in WWI, nowadays the gags are modern (and the grandfather still the same age). | |

Muppet Babies (1984), the example that codified the trope, features pre-K versions of the core cast of The Muppet Show, though to increase the ratio of female characters to male, they gave Scooter a tomboyish fraternal twin sister named Skeeter. The whole series is actually based on a scene in The Muppets Take Manhattan, where Piggy wonders what things would have been like if they knew each other as children.note This cartoon is 99% of what kept that scene from being a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment (and even then only in terms of the greater franchise). A reboot series premiered in 2018. |

One Robot Chicken sketch parodied this with Terminator. "Come with me, the Terminator Baby, if you want to live!" At the end, Sarah Connor comments about how Skynet must be running out of ideas for terminators.

The whole series is actually based on a scene in The Muppets Take Manhattan, where Piggy wonders what things would have been like if they knew each other as children.note This cartoon is 99% of what kept that scene from being a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment (and even then only in terms of the greater franchise). | |

The Patrick Star Show: "Big Baby Patrick" gives some big Take Thats towards the phenomenon. The episode points out that there's not a lot babies can actually do, so they're not that interesting to watch. Captain Quasar in Diapers is a spin-off about baby Quasar and Pat-Tron, who are too short to operate their spaceship without teamwork, and whom their enemies find too cute to want to attack. The show turns into Baby Stars, with the cutesy theme song pointing out that babies "can't be held accountable for their actions!" The entire skit consists of the babies deciding to "pretend" to be adults. |

Disney's Hercules: The Animated Series: The whole series takes place while Hercules is in his mid teens. Hercules was technically that age during the movie, but not for most of it (it happens in-between Hercules being accepted as Phil's apprentice and the completion of his hero training). One episode features Hercules, Icarus, Pegasus, and Pain being turned into babies, with Panic and Cassandra having to scramble for the cure. |

Pre-dating Teen Titans was Teeny Titans, an in-universe parody from the early 1990s involving babified versions of Nightwing, Starfire, Pantha, Changeling, and Baby Wildebeest (turned into a magic transforming doll) and their battles against evil Mr. (Slade "Deathstroke") Wilson. The fictional "Teeny Titans" came about when the New Titans were strapped for cash and decided to whore themselves out via merchandising deals and was largely played for shock value as far as the team being horrified at how their cartoon show was a slapstick kiddie show. | |

The show tried going down the path with just one episode hand waved to be Apple Dumplin's dream, but featured baby Ginger Snap, baby Orange Blossom and baby Angel Cake. The baby books added baby Blueberry Muffin. A baby Huckleberry Pie was designed, but very infrequently used. | |

Not only did the Danish movie series Olsen-banden get a spinoff of this nature called Olsenbanden Jr.Translated"The Olsen Gang Junior", so did both the Norwegian and Swedish Foreign Remakes. (In the latter case the child spinoff got the name Lilla JönssonliganTranslatedThe Little Jönsson Gang to accomodate for the titular character's Dub Name Change.) What's more, all three spinoffs take the characters who were mostly middle-aged in the original continuity (The '70s/The '80s) and depict them as school children of roughly the same age in The '50s. While the setting may have worked for Benny, who was noticably younger than Egon and Kjeld (at least in the Danish and Swedish versions), the spinoffs depict all three of the characters as the same age, throwing continuity out the window. | |

The Wander over Yonder episode "The Matchmaker" spoofs this in one of the transformations experienced by Sylvia and Wander when the former tries to prevent the latter from mailing a love letter to Lord Dominator to make her fall for Lord Hater. One of the titles the pair are accompanied with is "The Babies", where Wander and Sylvia appear as infant versions of themselves riding in baby carriages. | |

ElfQuest included some self-parody strips featuring the regular characters drawn in the style of Tiny Toon Adventures. | |

Dinosaur Comics: T-Rex and Utahraptor disagree on how good an idea "Dino babies" is. Don't look, they actually made one, in the 90s. Although it got Screwed by the Network as well. |

Suske en Wiske had a spin-off series in which the 2 main characters are five-year olds rather than (pre)-teens. It consists of one page gag comics, while the main series is one with album long stories. It also ignores the continuity of it's parent series, since it has Suske already living with Wiske and her aunt Sidonia at age 5, while in the main series both he and Wiske were already pre-teens when they first met. | |

Drawn Together did a Spinoff Babies episode, complete with theme song. Since this is Drawn Together, it's actually one of the more horrific episodes.note Rumor has it that this was intended as a Poorly Disguised Pilot that Comedy Central rejected. | |

A TV Funhouse sketch, "Fetal Scooby-Doo", in which fake hauntings were exposed by a gang of prenatal detectives. | |

Fan Web Comics example Torchwood Babiez also starring Rose and The Tenth Doctor, putting a Peanuts and Rugrats spin on things. Though technically they're clones. | |
