  • Disc 1- Episodes 1-7
  • Disc 2- Episodes 8-13
  • First new Animaniacs DVD to be released under Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's "Studio Distribution Services" (SDS) joint-distribution venture. The Warner Bros. Home Entertainment logo opening is kept intact on the discs themselves.

Additionally, the "A Hulu Original" logo before the intro and the "Hulu Originals" logo animation after the credits are removed completely. However, the "Distributed by Hulu, LLC" text under the copyright notice during the credits remains intact (as do jokes/references to the channel in episodes such as "My Super Sour Sixteen" and "Mouse Madness").

Trivia

  • Despite being produced in 4K HD, Warner Bros. currently releases the Animaniacs reboot on 480p DVD discs rather than the Ultra HD Blu-ray or standard Blu-Ray formats. This isn't Animaniacs-specific; as Warner Bros. releases most of their new TV shows predominantly on DVDs (particularly cartoons; most live-action WB shows usually have releases on higher-quality physical formats). The more-prominent use of DVD is presumably for budgetary reasons. As of 2023, there are no known Animaniacs reboot Ultra HD Blu-ray or standard Blu-Ray releases planned.
  • For unknown reasons, seasons 2 and 3 are missing from the Google Play Store.
