- TriviaRita and Runt were originally conceptualized as hosts of the show akin to The Abbott and Costello Show (1952) before Tom Ruegger scrapped the idea because he felt that it did not align with the idea of the show's "energy."
- Crazy creditsGame Over- Insert Coin
- Alternate versionsWhen the series was shown in reruns on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons, almost all references to Warner Bros. were removed from the opening, allowing for a very unusual transition involving the Nickelodeon logo bursting and the opening cut right to the Warner Bros. water tower door opening.

Featured review
Growing up in the 90s, I watched these cartoons a lot and liked them. Even when I was young I realised that the Animaniacs were a bit different from most other cartoons. Like the episode where they make fun of Barney. At that age I wasn't used to seeing such blatant parodies, so I just remember thinking: "Wow! Are they allowed to do that?"
Recently I decided to check this show out again, for nostalgia's sake. This is when I discovered that it's even better than I remembered it to be. It's not just a silly kids' show, but it's full of clever humour that people of any age can appreciate. There are some scenes that I can watch again and again without getting tired of them. Like when Yakko sings about the nations of the world. Or when they sing about the ingredients of ice cream and candy bars (scary). Brilliant! I recommend watching this show with your kids, if you have any. If you don't, watch it on your own.
