This was one of my all time favourites! I was elated that my daughter got so invested in the 2020 seasons when they came out. Such a fun show at all ages.
The original series was brilliant- the jokes landed well and often. It got a lot of Emmys and deserved them all.
I think the remake was a bit of mistake, though, considering they eliminated a lot of the characters and pieces from the original series I most enjoyed. Warner Brothers recently has been Frankenstining too much of their old IP in an arrogant "because we can" manner that I don't like, and this is an example.
I absolutely loved Animaniacs, even though I was a teen while I was one (and young adult thru all the reruns). The theme tunes to both that and Pinky and the Brain are firmly stuck in my head now!
Side note: in the Pinky and the Brain theme is the line “one of them’s a genius, the other’s insane”, but it never outright says which is which. Now rewatch the show with that idea in mind! 😈
You could be on to something there as sometimes nothing can beat the original. Thanks for reading.
Thanks for this, it's brilliant. Thanks for commenting too on this slice of animated genius :)
I’ve always loved Pinky and the Brain -- they gave me lots of laughs as a kid. (I’m also looking forward to your interview, Jon!)
A bit ‘after my time’, but great post as always. You have some fab things coming up too :)
Don't recall this one, although Pinky and the Brain sounds familiar...great write-up! Thanks :)
Thanks Victoria. I do have some good things on the horizon with a few more planned too 😁

I used to love Animaniacs. The title sequence and theme music still gets stuck in my head to this day.
Thanks Gareth, that theme tune is a tough one to shift 😁
