    This is one funny show

    I used to love Animaniacs when I was younger. The animation, voice work, and music are all great. The humor is very funny in a smart way, it isn't a stupid show like many other kids shows that are released today. There are plenty of adult jokes that will entertain the adults who are watching the show with their kids.

    The characters in this show are all very unique and make the show worth watching. Two very famous characters, Pinky and the Brain, had their own spin off show after-wards. Pinky and the Brain are two lab rats who are always trying to take over the world.

    This was a great show, it's a shame that many adults thought it was only for kids, because there really were plenty of jokes for the adults.

    If you ever get to see this show, watch it all the way to the end. It is very funny.

    Much more than a cartoon

    In a great tradition of Warner Bros., Animaniacs is a very well written and funny show. The show had a clever wit to it that so many shows lack these days. Just watch any cartoon on ABC and you will see what I mean. The early episodes were without a doubt the best overall.

    Good animated series!

    When this show was on I watched it every time I could! I thought that the characters were really funny and all had great personalities. The animation in My opinion was crisp, clean, and really clear. Not to mention beautiful! Most of the characters in this show are like the older Looney Tunes characters that we all love. These I believe are just as funny and as talented. In fact, Some of them are arguably funnier than the originals! The things that goes on in this series' cartoons are in My opinion nuts which that is what makes them hilarious! There are so many to like and laugh at and the silly things they do! If you like the original Looney Tunes then I strongly recommend that you watch Animaniacs!

    Movie Nuttball's NOTE:

    If you like Animaniacs then I also recommend Taz-Mania and Tiny Toon Adventures!

    Work of Genius(7/10)

    The writers of this show definitely deserve a pat on the back - memorable characters, great scripts and lots of subtle references for the adults to catch all make this fantastic viewing for the whole family! Plus, the voices are superb, if I'm ever home when its showing and I happen to come across it - I usually let go of the remote control

    A classic.........

    I don't know anyone who doesn't like the Animaniacs. The show is very well done. It makes fun of very recent things ( during the time of course ). I love all the shows on there. From Pinky And The Brain to the others. The characters are all very fun and memorable. And it paces out the different shorts from the Animaniacs very nicely. Overall its a classic cartoon I could watch any day.

    • Trivia
      Rita 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."
    • Quotes

      Miles: Begone, pests, and give me the bird.

      Yakko: We'd love to, really, but the Fox censors won't allow it.

    • Crazy credits
      Game Over- Insert Coin
    • Alternate versions
      When 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.
