As a 30-year old cartoon franchise, Animaniacs has had its share of mysteries. There are quite a few items that are missing or are just obscure in general.
Our present list includes:
Some portions of the rare art.
- The full Kids' WB! promo art of the Warners watching TV atop the tower. This art has only been seen in portions and cropped as a green-screen backdrop in the Animaniacs Volume 1 featurette Animaniacs Live! (not to be confused with live show of the same name).
- Any kind of listings related to season 2 of The Big Cartoonie Show, aka The Cat & Bunny Warneroonie SuperLooney Big Cartoonie Show, such as episodes and airdates. (Most data has been gathered thanks to 2023 re-runs in Croatia through NovaTV. We currently have 46 episodes listed.)
- Any footage from the Animaniac Attack! Marathon from July 4, 1998 (so far we have some promos and an audio recording from the marathon courtesy of Animanicast and Joanna Davidovich).
- Kids' WB! promos for the Pinky and the Brain three-parter Brainwashed. Currently, we have a promo from Nickelodeon.
- Any possible press-releases for Brainwashed.
- The "New Year's Party Tonight" version of "At the Big Wrap Party Tonight" from The WB's 1995 New Years Eve broadcast. Presently, the final half is available.
- Information related to The WB's 1997 New Years Eve Broadcast (so far we have information regarding the Wendy's Pinky and the Brain sweepstakes outcome being revealed during it). Footage welcomed as well.
- We have found this listing from TCM's website for "The WB's Second Annual New Years Eve Jam." Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell, and Tress MacNeille are credited for reprising their roles as Yakko, Wakko, and Dot respectively.
- Any footage from the January and February 1997 Cartoon Network marathons of Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain, most especially the crossover bumpers featuring characters from Dexter's Laboratory (some of these have surfaced. The Pinky and the Brain-centric ads seem to be rarer).
- Randy Rogel's full recording of "Dear Mister Gingrich" (We have an incomplete audio file of the song on its article that is pieced-together from YouTube videos containing the portions)
- Confirmation of which DVDs and VHS releases occurred outside North America.
- Any kind of information related to Animaniacs VCDs.
- A source confirming that Hub Network actually attempted to acquire syndication rights for Pinky and the Brain and Freakazoid! in 2014.
