Not shy about dragging out that nostalgia button and slamming it hard, are they?

I kind of rolled my eyes at the Jurassic Park 'bit' on the basis that it wasn't much of sell for audiences in the current year, but given both had Spielberg's branding on them when they came out in 1993, I'll admit its a bit clever.

Efficiency is the highest virtue.

Hellooo Nurse! Although for me, the return of Pinky and the Brain is the bigger draw. "I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the hippo to wear a Speedo?"

Edit: I do hope they will NOT bring back Mindy and Buttons.

Tiny Toons! How could I have forgotten them? They were my favorite! {Although I recorded both Tiny Toons and Animaniacs when they were airing.}

On moon miranda.

My body is ready.

Hulu being the evil lawyer in the trailer was the perfect touch of self-awareness to really sell this show again.

I'd say it wasn't meant to be. They're not marketing this to the kids, they're marketing it to the adults who grew up with it the first time around.

Throwing in references for the adults to get was always a part of the show, though.

Wasn’t half the show references to the Marx Brothers, those comedians our grandparents watched?

There were certainly a reasonable number of references that I only got as a result of my stepfather being a fan of some very old movies...

The crazy thing is Time Warner owns WB. Time Warner just focused everything on HBO Max. Disney owns a controlling share in Hulu. Why the feth did Warner put Animanics on Hulu and not their own service?


These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

Could be that Spielberg owns the Animaniacs and has the rights to the Warner property issues, so can put his show where ever he wants.

He's SS for cryin' out loud.

Trailer seems to focus on the core three and Pinky and the Brain. So might well be that many of the other supporting group aren't in it or might not yet be in it. Ones like Buttons, Mindy, The Feathers etc...

My guess would be because some rights for the show went Disney when they bought Fox (possibly airing rights). Animaniacs was made in partnership by Fox with WB, and originally aired on Fox, not WB.

Man that trailer hit me with the nostalgia super hard. Love it.

Also I had heard rumors they hadn't asked any of the original voice acting cast back besides the warner triplets and pinky and the brain. So I wouldn't expect to see mindy, hello nurse, the security guard or any of those ancillary characters

It might also be that they are going to go with the most popular core first and then tease the others back in for a 3rd season (since the video hints at a 2 season contract)

Yep, I cannot wait for this. I might have to check out some Tiny Toons, as I never watched them, but as others have said they were pretty brilliant, too.

Not sure if I'm more delighted at this revival or with discovering the frustration with Mindy & Buttons is universal.
