@Caddy C

Now that I’ve been watching Animaniacs when I’m older, I realize how many of the mature jokes, words, and subject matter went over my head back in the day. I also realized how much I memorized a number of the episodes, but I think that’s mostly because I was watching them at an age when my mind was absorbing everything. I wonder how much of Animaniacs could make it past the censors nowadays.

GREAT post! Animaniacs was such a great and under-appreciated show!! It was so clever and funny, and very subversive at times. It’s so much fun to go back and watch it as you get older because you notice how many adult subjects and lines of dialogue got past the censors!

I LOVED this show when I was little. I used to sing the song. Me and my sister literally would watch it everyday after we got home from school. Obviously, Wakko was the best.

@ 2DT

Now that you mention it, maybe a little XD

LOL, now that comparison’s gonna be stuck in my head, just like the Animaniacs theme song.

Doesn’t Andrew remind you a bit of Yakko?

the maxx, another well done american series, and to me, it was better than a lot of anime I’ve had the pleasure of watching over about 9 years, both in art and story. not really sure if the animation team was canadian or japanese though.

@ Saere

You can find a lot of Animaniacs eps on YouTube.

I actually haven’t seen the Christmas movie (“Wakko’s Wish” right?) It comes on TV from time to time so I should check it out.

Pinky and the Brain are both impossible to forget, but I had forgotten about Buttons and Mindy! Memories started flooding back once I watched the vid. I remember always laughing at how she wouldn’t call her mother ‘mom.’

Thanks for posting this! I think that I’m going to go back and rewatch a lot of episodes, like I do with Danny Phantom (my favorite American cartoon) from time to time.

There’s an Animaniacs Christmas movie, right? I think I rewatched that a year or two ago.

I used to love Tom and Jerry too, but I grew out of the humor over the years. I still enjoy it a little bit, though I haven’t been following it since the 90s.

I was just a small kid while Animaniacs aired on local channel. So i didn’t and couldn’t understand what were they trying to get.

For me, i think classic version of Tom and Jerry (produced by Hanna Barbera, the modern version produced by Chuck Jones is worse, and the new Tom and Jerry Tales is even worse) is the best cartoon.
