Plans for a revival began as early as 2017, where Amblin and Warner Bros. Studios and more places, and Pinky and the Brain as they try to take over the world. The series sees the return of Yakko, Wakko and Dot as they wreak havoc in Warner Bros.

It is a revival of the 1990s television series of the same name. There is definitely something of worth here and I'm interested in seeing what they do going forward.For information on the original 1993-1998 show, see Animaniacs (1993 TV series)įor other uses of the term Animaniacs click here " "Back Again-y!"" - Yakko, Wakko, and DotĪnimaniacs is an American animated slapstick and sketch comedy series for Hulu, produced by Amblin Entertainment and Warner Bros. I mean, who doesn't miss 'Good Idea, Bad Idea'? I'm looking forward to Season 2 next year. I just hope the writers tilt the scale more towards timeless going forward, and with any luck, maybe we'll see some of the old cast again. It's widely agreed Animaniacs is at its best when it's being timeless and when they are here, it's a barrel of laughs. The first season's desire to be timely also runs the serious risk of some episodes and jokes being dated. That being said, there are a few segments that could have been condensed down and this is especially where the lack of most of the original series' cast (the irreplacable Slappy Squirrel, the Goodfeathers, etc) is sorely felt - whether this was a creative choice or the studio, one can't be sure. I could understand why some critics might believe the same charm isn't there - mainly due to the original creators not being invited back - but no doubt there is still a lot of effort being put into this by people who respect the source material. The show's strengths definitely lie with the hillarious animation, the top notch voice acting (Paulsen, Harnell and MacNeille still got it), the orchestral music and for sure, the writing is often more hit than miss. Not perfect, definitely stuff I think they could improve upon, but there's plenty enough to enjoy for fans old and new alike.

The show's strengths definitely lie with the hillarious animation, the top notch voice acting I would say the first season of the reboot was. I would say the first season of the reboot was.
