""Back Again-y!""
Yakko, Wakko, and Dot

Animaniacs is an American animated slapstick and sketch comedy series for Hulu, produced by Amblin Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation. It is a revival of the 1990s television series of the same name. The series sees the return of Yakko, Wakko and Dot as they wreak havoc in Warner Bros. Studios and more places, and Pinky and the Brain as they try to take over the world.

Plans for a revival began as early as 2017, where Amblin and Warner Bros. were interested in reviving multiple old properties. The reboot was officially announced in 2018 for a two-season run on Hulu along with said service acquiring the streaming rights for the original Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, Pinky and the Brain, and Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain.

The first season was released on November 20, 2020, with the second season releasing on November 5, 2021[1], and a third season releasing on February 17, 2023, running for a total of 36 episodes. [2][3][4] A special four short mini-series focusing on Pinky and The Brain released on March 17, 2023.

Synopsis

They’re back! The Warner brothers, Yakko and Wakko, and the Warner sister Dot, have a great time wreaking havoc and mayhem in the lives of everyone they meet. After returning to their beloved home, the Warner Bros. water tower, the siblings waste no time in causing chaos and comic confusion as they run loose through the studio, turning the world into their personal playground. Joining Yakko, Wakko and Dot, fan-favorite characters Pinky and the Brain also return to continue their quest for world domination.[5][6]

Premise

As with the original 1993 series, Animaniacs focuses on the adventures of the Warner siblings, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot as they engage in further adventures after being absent from television for 22 years, bringing with them the normal craziness and mayhem they create while adapting to the changes and life of the 21st century. Like the original series, most episodes are consisted of three shorts,: usually the first and third shorts following the adventures of Yakko, Wakko and Dot, with the second featuring Pinky and the Brain—two lab mice, one of whom is intelligent and still wants to take over the world, while the other is dim-witted and clumsy, often messing up his friend's plans. Sometimes, there may be four shorts, and one short may, instead of being another Warner segment, be a different segment with brand-new characters and a different art direction, such as Starbox and Cindy, and The Incredible Gnome in People's Mouths.

Development

2017

Plans for an Animaniacs reboot surged as early as 2017, where news reporters learned that an Animaniacs reboot entered early development stages, and was expected to be led by Steven Spielberg and made by Amblin TV and Warner Bros. Entertainment, as before.[28] A contributing factor was due to the show experiencing a popularity surge on Netflix. On October 1st, 2017, Netflix removed the original show to make room for other titles (it is commonly theorized they removed the show due to losing the bidding-war for reboot streaming rights to Hulu) . In addition, Rob Paulsen and Randy Rogel's successful Animaniacs Live! concerts were also instrumental in reviving the series as it helped keep the show popular.

2018

Announcement

In 2018, Amblin announced that Animaniacs was subject to a revival, with the show being rebooted for two new seasons which would air on Hulu, alongside the streaming service acquiring the streaming rights for the original Animaniacs series, Pinky and The Brain, Pinky, Elmyra and The Brain and Tiny Toon Adventures, with a release scheduled for 2020.[29]

Production

As of early June 2018, [30] the pilot episode's script was completed and as of July 12, 2018, [31] storyboarding and production has officially started. On August 9, 2018, an interview with Rob Paulsen revealed that there would be 26 new half-hour episodes of the show, and the new season would most likely air in Fall 2020. [32] At the time, it was stated that it was unknown whether the original voice actors would return or their roles would be recast.

2019

More News

In the 157th episode of the fan podcast "Animanicast" on August 18, 2019; new details were revealed on how the process was coming along.[33] According to a summed-up version,[34] it was planned that the reboot will be released in September 14, 2020 , Randy Rogel has returned to write for the show, Steve and Julie Bernstein have returned to compose, and two new songwriters have been hired and have tweeted their involvement. There has been no mention of Slappy Squirrel or Goodfeathers segments being included yet, but there are some new "Good Idea, Bad Idea"-like segments, the original voice actors possibly being involved due to strong hints from Paulsen and LaMarche (but still unconfirmed at the time due to NDA), and an Instagram post from Carlos Alazraqui with him in a recording studio with Paulsen, Jess Harnell and Tress MacNeille that may indicate him being involved in the reboot as well.

On October 8, 2019, in Paulsen's book "Voice Lessons", [35] it was confirmed that he, Harnell, MacNeille and LaMarche were working on the show and returned to provide voices for it, including for Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Pinky and the Brain.

On January 25, 2020, Steve Bernstein returned to conduction with the show’s first scoring session, with a leaked image of the new Animaniacs. The show is mostly scored at the same Eastwood Soundstage as the original.

2020

Production Continues

In March 2020, several crew members behind the show confirmed on Twitter that they were now working on the show at home due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic shutting down the studio. [36] The show was also mentioned along with numerous other animated series that are still continuing production amidst the virus in a Deadline article. [37]

Likewise on May 2, 2020, Rob Paulsen confirmed on his Instagram Live stream that the cast is recording some lines from their houses. He also reaffirmed the Fall 2020 release window. It’s currently unknown if scoring is being done remotely as well.

On June 11, 2020, Rob Paulsen said in an Ask Fandom livestream that the estimated release window as of now is September-October, but no exact date due to COVID-19. He also confirmed the show is a revival and that the Warners have been locked away in the tower since the '90s ("They are self-aware that they had been locked-down for 25 years").

In an interview with Animation Magazine, Rob Paulsen confirmed that as of July 2020 the show is now in post-production. He also confirmed that Squit and Dr. Scratchansniff would be returning. New ancillary characters would also be introduced.[38]

On July 19, 2020, more reboot news dropped courtesy of Animanicast‘s sources. [39]

The following was revealed:

  • Theme song is the same as the original with modified lyrics.
  • First season is decent with ups and downs with a “spectacular” second season.
  • Pilot episode was stellar.
  • Pinky and the Brain in particular have some of the strongest episodes as the main characters.
  • The Goodfeathers would seemingly have cameos, with Squit being confirmed to be voiced; Squit did not end up having a voiced appearance in the show but did have cameos along with the rest of the Goodfeathers in "Good Warner Hunting" and "WARnerGames".
  • Wellesley Wild was working to honor the original show to satisfy old and new audiences with modern stuff as well as to make his children happy.
  • Slappy, Skippy, Hello Nurse, Minerva Mink, Buttons, Mindy, Rita, and Runt would not appear; however, they eventually had cameos in Good Warner Hunting. Hello Nurse was mentioned in three segments with a visual cameo in one segment, and Slappy would make various cameos across two segments, eventually appearing in one segment in Season 3.
  • Spielberg’s "clean-up" crew had a different role than thought, he was busy for West Side Story for a while before returning with a set of notes. The issue here wasn’t with quality but rather time. Additional support was hired to help out.
  • Thaddeus Plotz would retire and not be present as a new female Latina CEO would take over the studio. [40]

Closer to Season 1

On August 6, Maurice LaMarche tweeted that information on the reboot would be posted onto Hulu's Twitter page the following day. A press release from Hulu on August 7 revealed the visuals of the Warners and Pinky and The Brain, with a release date of November 20, 2020.

This included numerous different designs for the Warners, episode structures, background paintings, and teases on what to expect. [41] The official Twitter and Instagram pages for the show went live on October 9th. Two days later, the NYCC panel was streamed along with a preview clip spoofing Jurassic Park. [42] The trailer went live on October 21 (it can be viewed in the video gallery below), along with a press release containing episode descriptions. [43]

On November 19, 2020, Hulu hosted a special watch party on the Animaniacs Twitter account allowing people to view the first episode for free for three hours, for users exclusively in the United States.

On August 6, 2021, the second season was announced for a November 5, 2021 release date. A press-release from SyFy mentioned that most of season 1's cast will return along with "some rejected Animaniacs characters that were left on the cutting room floor." [46]

The Season One soundtrack was released on August 13, 2021.

On October 20, 2021, the Animaniacs official Twitter account confirmed that the Season 2 trailer would be released on October 21, 2021.

2022

The Season 2 DVD set was released on June 21, 2022; with a release for digital purchase outlets following on July 10. The Season 2 soundtrack was released on August 19, 2022.

On December 10, 2022, Hulu announced the series' third season release date of February 17, 2023, and confirmed that the series would end after said season. [3] Executive producer Gabe Swarr revealed that Hulu had cancelled the show by the time writing had already been completed and went into production. The crew had attempted to create an ending to the series as production would allow. [49]

2023

On January 17, 2022, IGN revealed the trailer for the series' third and final season, with the official announcement from the Animaniacs social media accounts releasing an hour later. [50][51]

The final season released in February 2023, on both Hulu in the United States and Stan in Australia. The Canadian debut was announced that month to be moving to Cartoon Network at a later date as it takes-over Teletoon's spot.[52]

On March 8, a post on Twitter revealed that there will be a surprise announcement on March 17 regarding "one last scheme" by the Brain.[53] One day later, the reboot made its Ireland broadcast debut via TRTÉ 2.[26] [27]

On March 14, the "one last scheme" surprise was confirmed to be a promotional short mini-series with MasterClass: The Brain Teaches World Domination[54], and released on March 17, 2023 (under the "MasterClass" section of the reboot series).

Season 3 debuted on Cartoon Network Canada with an airing of episode 27 on April 7, 2023.[55]

The albums, part of a special project directed by Gabe Swarr, are due for release in Q3 2024.[59]

On February 27, 2024, HBO Max was rebranded to just "Max" in Latin America, and the Animaniacs reboot jumped over to the new channel. The "Max Originals" branding was adjusted to reflect the new channel. Confusingly, an image of Walter Wolf from the 1993 series episode "Slappy Goes Walnuts" serves as the show's header image.

Español

Cast

Español Dub Notes

  • From the original series' Spanish cast, only Yakko, Wakko and Pinky's voice actors return.
  • References to Hulu are not changed.
  • Venezuela used to pay little attention to songs, so actors were hired even if they could not sing.
    • For this series, auto-tune was occasionally used, specially for Yakko; this is most noticeable in A-Zit.
    • Some characters such as Brain for instance; have a singing double.

Brazilian Portuguese

Cast

Brazilian Portuguese Dub Notes

  • Most of the original dub's cast reprise their roles from the original series.

Trivia

  • Animaniacs (2020) is the first fully-HD production in the Animaniacs franchise and the first entry to be fully widescreen. Prior to the reboot, several episodes of the original show were completed in widescreen such as "I'm Mad" and "Variety Speak."
  • Animaniacs (2020) has the most animation studios working for any Animaniacs-related series, featuring a total of 13 animation studios providing animation (beating the original series, which had 9 animation studios).
  • The trailers for Season 1 and Season 2 have a time gap of over one year, both releasing on October 22, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
  • The show's feature art and accent color on Hulu has been changed twice throughout the reboot's lifetime:
    • On October 21, 2021, the show's feature art was changed to feature the key art from Season 2, and the accent color for the interface was changed from blue to orange.
    • On January 17, 2023, the show's feature art was changed to feature the key art from Season 3, and the accent color for the interface was changed from orange to green.
  • On October 21, 2021, the show's Hulu byline was shortened from "A Hulu Original" to simply the Hulu logo.
  • Yakko, Wakko and Dot receive slight redesigns: Yakko and Wakko now have tufts of hair on top of their heads similar to Pinky, and the amount of petals on Dot's flower were reduced from 5 to 4. Along with those, the skin color for the Warners, Pinky and The Brain were given a warmer color, alongside proportion adjustments. It is assumed that this was a change made later during production as the initial teaser poster lacks the alterations.
  • In pre-production Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and Apple were in a bidding-war for streaming rights to the reboot. Ultimately, Hulu won. [63] Amazon and Apple would eventually make the show available for purchase on their platforms Prime Video and iTunes in early April, 2021.
  • Due to the lack of Hulu in other countries, the reboot airs internationally on other channels and/or streaming services.
    • On 11/12/20 it was confirmed that the show will debut in Canada via Teletoon on the same day as the US release. [64]
    • In Latin America, the show airs on HBO Max as a Max Original, and is available in various languages. The Hulu Presents logo is replaced by the Max Original logo in the intro; while most Hulu-centric gags remain intact. The "distributed by Hulu" tag in the ending credits also remains, but not the ending Hulu logo animation.
    • In Australia, the show airs on Stan.
  • Maurice LaMarche has teased that Brain has become a little more bitter having not taken over the world after all these years since the original shows ended. The time-skip of course will be acknowledged (mentioned around 14:23 in the citation).[65]
  • As franchise creator Tom Ruegger was not involved with this show, he holds a contested view on it. Though he considers it to be "non-canon"[66], this has not yet been acknowledged by the reboot's crew.
  • Paul Rugg, who wrote for the original series, was originally approached to return to write for the reboot but declined as he felt he already fulfilled his duties for writing for the original show and was more open to new talent writing for the reboot. There was speculation that Paul Rugg would be guest-starring as either Mr. Director or Freakazoid. On December 11th, 2019, he posted to Instagram that he was on his way to the Warner Bros. lot to record some dialogue for a character he never thought he’d voice again. He proceeded to do some “wooshing”-type noises as a vocal warm-up very similar to one of Freakazoid’s noises. [67] Later on, it was revealed that Freakazoid won’t be on Animaniacs, but rather a different show. [68] This was later revealed to be the crossover episode with the series Teen Titans Go! entitled "Huggbees".[69] Freakazoid was initially going to make an appearance, but he could not due to scheduling conflicts with Rugg.[70]
    • However, on November 30, 2021, Rugg tweeted a photo of him in a recording booth on Twitter, saying "You know the show's namey!".[71] He would eventually return as the voice of Mr. Clown in the segment "The Stickening", albeit uncredited under the "cast" section (He was, however, credited under the "Clown and Out" song itself).[8]
  • Slappy, Skippy, the Goodfeathers, Minerva Mink, Buttons, Mindy, Rita, Runt, The Hip Hippos, Chicken Boo, and Katie Ka-Boom do not return for their own recurring segments. The characters return as cameos in "Good Warner Hunting". Additionally, Mr. Skullhead appears in the intro in a message board under the name "Mr. Lul Head", The Mime makes a cameo appearance in "Gold Meddlers" and in "Good Warner Hunting". Chicken Boo makes two cameos in "Warner's Ark" and "WARnerGAMES". Hello Nurse does not appear physically in the reboot, but she was mentioned in three episodes with one visual cameo in "Santamaniacs". The Goodfeathers make another cameo in "WARnerGAMES". Slappy cameos in a magazine cover in "Please Submit" and drags Chicken Boo in "WARnerGAMES", and eventually returns for a single segment, titled "Slappy's Return".
    • Additionally, Rita and Runt were originally meant to appear in "Bun Control" in a parody of the "Hang In There, Baby!" motivational poster, but was cut.
    • Elmyra Duff was originally meant to appear in "Gift Rapper", but was eventually cut from the episode. She would still be mentioned by Jay-Pac in the episode.
  • Kyle A. Carrozza, creator of Cartoon Network's Mighty Magiswords whom also storyboarded for the series, and Scott O'Brien, animation director, are technically some of the few original Animaniacs artists to return for the reboot. Kyle initially did clean-ups and in-betweens for the episode "Bully for Skippy" when he visited StarToons, the studio that animated the episode. Scott did freelance for the series, coincidentally on the same episode. [72] [73]
  • Many of the musicians from the original show return to score, including Bryan Pezzone.
  • While the original series is rated TV–Y (later TV–Y7), this series is rated TV–PG (with occasional sub–ratings).
    • When Season 2 was released in November 2021, there was an error that gave it a TV-14 rating; this was eventually corrected days later after release.
  • Jessica Borutski was slated to be involved with the show initially as an artist but the contract fell-through.
  • A screenshot leak was discovered on the YouTube Page of an animator on April 2019 who worked for Snipple Animation Studios, one of the animation studios on the show (picture appears around 7:18 in the video). [74] The picture is also in the gallery below. The shot was later discovered to be test footage identical to a frame from Episode 3.
  • According to Jess Harnell, Wakko calls a “prominent political leader” a psychopath in the first episode. (29:13 in the video) [75] This ended up missing from the final episode.
  • According to Gabe Swarr, the updated design aspects of the Warners were not only streamlined but were influenced from Tokyo Movie Shinsha Co., Ltd.'s depiction of the characters in the original series.[76]
  • Unlike the original series and similar to Histeria!, Pinky and the Brain, and Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain, there are no stingers after the end credits of each episode and cuts straight to the closing logos.
  • According to animators Guillermo Calderón and Diego Mejia Pancheco, Mexican animation studio A.I. Animation Studios (known for their work on the Cartoon Network series, Villainous) also tested for outsource animation work but they ultimately did not get the gig.[77][78][79]
