Chibi Tiny Tales is a series of shorts produced by Disney Television Animation. It follows the surreal adventures of the characters from Amphibia in chibi format.
Each short is about a minute long, and is drawn in an Animesque "chibi" style. The shorts have little-to-no-spoken dialogue, with most of it represented through vocal effects like grunts, laughs, screams, yells, and occasional pictorial speech bubbles.
On July 8, 2022, a spin-off series, Chibiverse, was announced.

Trivia[]
- The series initially began with Big Hero 6: The Series, taking inspiration from the Karmi fanfiction segments. It was eventually expanded to include other popular Disney shows, with Amphibia, in particular, being the first.
- Amphibia has the most Chibi Tiny Tales shorts, with a total of eleven.
- Polly is the only character to appear in all eleven Chibi tales.
- The events of "Quicksand" are mentioned in the Season 3 episode "Hop 'Til You Drop". However, unlike the Chibi short, Anne was too distracted by her phone and walked in the quicksand.
- Sprig in his Chibi Tiny Tales design makes a cameo in the story "Cheer Tryouts" based on the Disney Channel movie Zombies, in which various Disney characters audition for a cheerleading team. For his performance, he hops around the gymnasium and gains a perfect score, but he is later disqualified after eating a passing fly.
- Anne and Sprig in their Chibi Tiny Tales designs make a cameo in the story "Scratch Haunts" based on the Disney series The Ghost and Molly McGee, in which Scratch is on the loose haunting various Disney Channel characters. He knocks on the door of the Plantar farm and is greeted by Anne and Sprig, but when he tries to scare them, they are scared by a giant mantis that is standing behind Scratch, which results in them shutting the door; Scratch then scares the mantis instead.
- Anne and Polly in their Chibi Tiny Tales designs make a cameo on a roller coaster in the story "Rollercoaster Romance", based on the Disney series Hamster & Gretel.
