We here at the Animaniacs Wiki like to prepare for anything. To quote a certain other Warner Bros. cartoon star, "expect the unexpected!"
The purpose of this article is to prepare for possible scenarios that could affect the Animaniacs franchise. Presently, these include:
- Animaniacs characters joining the crossover-fighting game MultiVersus. (Most likely happening given the WB lot stage)
- Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain joining the line-up of the classic animation channel MeTV Toons (Very likely considering Freakazoid! and Histeria! are airing on the channel and that the WB cartoon archive is being restored with "surprises" to come to the channel. Network head Neal Sabin has also expressed an interest in getting the shows in the future, but it may take a while as the broadcast deals are worth millions.)
Note that there isn't anything super concrete and official about some of these scenarios (except the HBO Max rebrand), this page is purely one big "What If?" with different ideas on how to approach these scenarios. If any of these events are to occur, we have prepared drafts here for potential articles (with additional notations concerning what will happen to existing articles that could be impacted).

Not only did they sing the song, but archival footage of them emerging from the [[Water Tower]] from the ''Animaniacs'' intro was also used.
