Yakko , Wakko and Dot : Meet Mark Twainy...
The Sound of Warners (406-680)
Written by Paul Rugg
Directed by Alfred Gimeno and Charles Visser
Animation by Wang Film Production
Synopsis
In this parody of The Sound of Music , the Warners get a new extremely nice singing nanny named Prunela Flundergust.
Trivia
When the Warners are sleeping, Yakko can be heard having a nightmare about flubbing the lyrics to "Yakko's World ".
Since this is a parody of The Sound of Music , Prunela Flundergust is a parody of Julie Andrews' character "Maria".
Yakko does the longest "Uhh..." of the show.
In the end, there's a reference of another Julie Andrews' character named "Mary Poppins"
In this episode, it is revealed that the Warners don't use their force or trickery when a person being nice and kind to them, only when they are mean or rude to the Warners or to other people. Slappy Squirrel on the other hand...
Dot's mumbling of "Newt Gingrich" in her sleep is most likely a reference to a deleted song called "Dear Mr. Gingrich".
This is the only Warner episode where it switches animation. Wang did most of it, while Akom did the segment where the dad and daughter are watching the episode.
Slappy , alone, makes a cameo at some point in the 2nd half of this segment.
The helicopter circling around Prunella during her first song is a reference to the helicopter that circled around Maria behind the scenes of The Sound of Music during her opening song, The Hill Are Alive.
Yabba Dabba Boo
Written by Peter Hastings
Directed by Jon McClenahan and Rusty Mills
Animation by StarToons
Synopsis
Chicken Boo plays a script doctor for the Flintstones movie.
Trivia
The Chicken Boo theme song is changed. Instead of "You wear a disguise to look like human guys", the line is "You're jumbo-sized and you wear a disguise."
The writers are modeled after the real-life Animaniacs writers, including creator Tom Ruegger , Nicholas Hollander (referred to as "Shecky", Hollander's real life nickname), Peter Hastings , and Sherri Stoner , the only writer who provides her own voice.
The Amblin building is essentially a redesigned version of Acme Looniversity from Tiny Toon Adventures .
Chicken Boo's fake name is Larry Gelboo, named after Larry Gelbart, a TV writer best known for creating the hit series M*A*S*H .
