DinkyToonz is an animated series that not only utilizes Lyons' original art style, but captures inspiration from Warner Bros.' well-known Looney Tunes franchise. For the designs of visuals, the style, and animation, DinkyToonz gives off a vibe that makes it look as though it takes place between 1997 and 2004. Lyons sought to merge classic cartoon slapstick with modern humor, in order to create a nostalgic yet fresh viewing experience. Characters are designed with exaggerated expressions and fluid motion to bring a timeless quality that appeals to audiences old and new. All in all, DinkyToonz pays tribute to classic cartoons while adding its own unique twist.
