Featured Articles are articles that have been selected for recognition on the Animaniacs Wiki. After an experienced user chooses an article, the Featured Article will be displayed on the Main Page through a template. The original article should then be tagged using Template:FA, which places a small icon in the top right of the article.
Articles are selected for Featured Article status by Admins and Moderators, but a known and experienced user can also choose an article to be featured. Should a chosen article emit a conflict between users, then they should either nominate the article on Animaniacs Wiki:Featured Article nominations page to see whether other users see it eligible, or create a discussion thread in the wiki forums. The Featured Article should follow the following rules:
It must have been written primarily by Animaniacs Wiki users, and not copied directly from other sites, such as Wikipedia or the Looney Tunes Wiki.
It must be factually correct, with no false information, and it must have sufficient references to verify its accuracy.
It must be at least a few paragraphs in length.
A Featured Article must stay a Featured Article for at least 30-31 days (28 or 29 days for February); with the exception of the site's very first first Featured Article due to the project beginning late in the month of January 2022.
Also note that an article can be a featured article at least once a year. For example, the Wakko's Wish article can be featured in both 2022 and 2023.
Steven Spielberg Presents: Pinky and the Brain (simply known as Pinky and the Brain) is an American animated television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation and Amblin Entertainment. It is a spin-off of Animaniacs, and focuses on Pinky and The Brain from that show's segments of the same name. Like the segments, the show focuses on the two laboratory mice from Acme Labs that desire world domination and concoct different schemes to do so, but end up failing in every episode.
After the Pinky and the Brain segments became particularly popular on Animaniacs, the mice proved to be notable enough to star in their own spin-off series. The show originally debuted on Kids' WB! and ran from September 9, 1995 to November 14, 1998. It also aired on the standard WB Network's primetime block on Sunday nights during its first season (and occasionally after that for holiday specials).
The show lasted 4 seasons with 65 episodes, and had a comic series published by DC Comics. The show would later be followed by a controversial short-lived retooling titled Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain; which featured Elmyra Duff from Tiny Toon Adventures as a main character alongside the mice. This network-mandated retool ran from 1998 to 1999 with only 13 episodes (most of which aired under The Big Cartoonie Show).
The finales of both Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain aired together on November 14, 1998 in a special hour-long broadcast: The Ultimate Animaniacs Super Special.
The mice would later return in the 2020 Animaniacs reboot, where their segments are structurally closer to this series and the original Animaniacs.
