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
