Redundant in characterization?

Hi. Are the adjectives redundant for each of the following phrases? In other words, should only one adjective be used for each of the following two phrases? Thank you for your help in advance.

1. the whole entire world
2. a teeny tiny button

The extra adjectives are not essential. But they add a degree of emphasis, as well as a slightly cute and even childlike tone. Clive
