How I miss the '80s and '90s...

Posted : 1 year, 10 months ago on 4 June 2022 05:30

Nowadays, cartoons are either bad(Shaggy and Scooby Doo:Get a Clue) or good shows now mediocre(Pokemon and Spongebob Squarepants). At 17, I adore Animaniacs, it is a very funny and witty show. Although Disney silly Symphonies, Hanna Barbera and Looney Tunes had their fair share of classics, I feel that the best shows came from the late '80s and early '90s, naturally the ones that shaped my childhood. Where are shows like Animaniacs, Darkwing Duck, Talespin, Peter Pan and the Pirates, DuckTales, Batman:The Animated Series, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Little Mermaid, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Pinky and the Brain and Pirates of Dark Water when you need them?

Back to Animaniacs, the show is very well animated, with vibrant colouring, crisp beautiful backgrounds and convincing movements for the characters. The music is not only catchy, it is actually memorable as well, and I constantly find myself humming it wherever I go. The scripts and humour are witty and hilarious, as are the situations no matter how silly they are the characters get into. This all springs from a great concept, some shows have a great concept but don't live up to it, Animaniacs does and superbly might I add, with story lines that are funny, touching and endearing. The characters are immensely likable with unique personalities, Wakko, Dot, Yakko, Minerva, Slappy, Skippy, Rita, Runt, Flavio, Marita and of course Pinky and the Brain. And these endearing characters are brilliantly voiced by the likes of Rob Paulson, Tress MacNeille, Jess Harnell, Frank Welker and Maurice LeMarche.

Overall, this is a superb animated show, that is not only for kids but for adults as well. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Animaniacs was not originally made for kids i talked to the creator and he said i made it to amuse myself in hopes it would amuse everyone else and it makes sense because it had lots of edgy adult jokes like the nurse says i cant say what the monkeys wont do and yakko says for a nickel ill give you a clue a guy says im ludwig van beethoven world famous composer and pianist the animaniacs are shocked youre a what a pianist and yakko says good night everybody but that is what i am a pianist and yakko says i think we have heared enough out of you dr scratch and sniff says stop playing with my bust and yakko says good night everybody a villian gets turned into a chocolate rabbit and the animaniacs say wait till they get to the creamy filling and wiggle there eyebrows a teacher asks yakko if he can conjugate and he says i never even kissed a girl and the teacher says nonsense ill conjugate with you and yakko says good night evreybody the teacher reaches into her bra and pulls out a pen and yakko says ooh what else you got in there yakko tells a girl she can open his scrapbook collection and she says but yakko you dont have a scrapbook collection and yakko says fine then ill let you open my mail the animaniacs jump up and down in a car and a woman walks by with her kid and covers her kids eyes a woman asks if the animaniacs bite and dot says not unless you want us to a guy asks yakko to give him the bird and he says wed love to really but the fox censors wont allow us dot says i found a prince and yakko says no no no finger prints then prince smiles and dot says i dont think so yakko says were not mammals were not even birds but i would like to give you a bird and then he stuffs a turkey in his jacket yakko says how do you do that thing with your mouth yakko says thats are solar system and wakko says you forgot uranus and yakko says good night evrebody a kid says he spilled lots of soda all over his crotch minerva mink undresses behind a curtain and walks into the water minerva mink asks a dog to blow on her feet for her and the dog starts rapidly wagging his tail and says oh yeah baby thats what i like a girl says come on you guys were going to go play truth or dare and walks off with 2 guys the animaniacs say you want us to paint naked people all over a church well do it but we wont do it for the sake of man or the sake of the church no well do it because we like painting naked people yakko says do you know theres pp on your smock john smith says this is how we say hello and dot says wanna see how we do it dot says shes got the buns yakko and wakko ask the grim reaper if they can watch the adult channel hello nurse dots skirt falls down the animaniacs sing a song called lake titacaca yakko and wakko use a garage door opener to try to lift up girls skirts wakko is seen drinking out of a barrel that says grog yakko sings a song and sings whos fault whos fault its san andreas fault cause mr ritcher cant predict there kicking are asphalt minerva mink says give me the bird and dot says we cant its a family show a woman says sire wait till were alone buster and babs bunny say buster and babs bunny no relation and noah says lets hope not its a childrens show bunnies check wakko says or we could wake up to uranus and dot the nurse and minerva mink sing a song and shake there butts at the screen theres some very dark episodes like a episode were the grim reaper steals wakkos soul and a episode were the animaniacs go to hell and torture the devil and theres some dark humor god says im not your mother noah and noah says omg and god says precisely theres a parody of mobsters called the good feathers and theres one episode were they kill a terrorist leader

Animaniacs review

Posted : 8 years, 5 months ago on 12 November 2015 10:35

one of the best , in my opinion, ever!
there was one particular short- a family having to live out of the back of their car- that touched me because I had just found out that one of my classmates had 'disappeared' from school only to discover that his family was going through similar hardships.
the short story itself was about the lonely 'journey' of a piece of wrapping paper that had been discarded... it touched me in a way that no news program/story ever had or has since.
and then in the very next cartoon I split my sides laughing at the escapades of the 3 siblings. great stuff. for those of you haven't seen them, you owe it to yourselves to check out the Warner Brothers and their sister Dot!

This is a kid's show. Repeat the jokes as often as possible! Your nostalgia is blinding you.

This show was on when I was primarily in high school, yet I watched it all the time. I put it in the category of cartoons that was for adults young and old due to some of the topics, jokes and satire they used. There were many times that I would watch this and think; "there is no way a kid would get this!". And that was part of the appeal.

Fabulous voice acting, amazing songs put together that were silly and educational, and clever humor all around. Now I just have to get it on DVD...

The show was originally going to be about 3 ducks named Yakki, Smakki and Wakki...
