Animaniacs

^original version

"Now I'm in the stew.
Oh poo.
Don't know what to say the monkeys won't do!"

Also, am I the only one that noticed that Slappy looks like a older version of Fifi from Tiny Toon Adventures (Even though Slappy is a squirrel and Fifi is a skunk)?

Out of all the songs in this show I have to love, Its this one.

'Nother song:

^that makes me feel old...it was one of the first songs I remember after "A Quake! A Quake!"

I actually liked the non-song segments better. I got kinda annoyed when the last season began packing so many musicals.

They were well done, but I just liked the cartoon capers better.

I liked the non-song bits better too, but songs are a lot easier to find on You Tube, and probably less likely to be attacked copyright people.

I love the animaniacs and to this day it just bugs me when people get all serious business about the characters.

Anyone know if those DVDs of the series were released in the UK?

Paul Dini's TV Tropes page says he created Minerva Mink, but AFAIK, he never wrote anything for Animaniacs. I was under the impression Sherri Stoner created Minerva, but I want a confirmation before erasing that info from the page.

Yeah, I remember this show...

..(sigh)... ...what is with the title? Does it mean anything? Does it refer to anything?

Mix of "animation" and "maniacs".

I laways figure that. I thought that that was what referred to the characters. But just being the name of the show?

I guess you could also say that it was named after a certain Tiny Toon Adventures episode called "Animaniacs", but I doubt that really had to do with anything.

Well, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot were pretty maniacal, and they were animated characters...that's probably the closest you're going to get to any meaningful relationship between the title and the show itself...

I'm still miffed we never got Volume 4 of Animaniacs. Did they think no one would buy it without another Pinky And The Brain set coming out?

At least ⅔ of the cast shouldn't have dancing as naughtily as they did in the Macadamia Nuts number.

My face always mirrors Skippy's when I see those parts.

Wow, I remember seeing some of the characters for the show and being reminded of Mickey mouse or Oswald.

I find it nice how they manage to blend education into this show along with their humor

That was very, very intentional, as the Warners are supposed to be from the 1930s. They're supposed to be more evocative of Bosko and Foxy, granted, but same difference, really.

Yup, Felix the Cat, Oswald, Bosko, etc.

From Warner Archive Group's Facebook page:

Marty Curtinmaker: "Tiny Toons" and "Animaniacs." Any chance we might finally see the final release for both within this year? There is still a large fan base that wants them!

Warner Archive Collection: These are both likely to finally surface at mass merchant retail, but we can't speak to this as a certainty. However, we know both are on the front burner of consideration.

Well, that gives us some hope to see Volume 4 finally be released, compared to previous talks where they said they had no plans at all.

Better late than never I suppose. I've been missing that final box set from my collection.
