Animaniacs appreciation thread

The "hot chick" you're thinking of was Minerva Mink. Now that I think of it, she was pretty racy for a kids show.

Well, by "hot chick", I was referring to the fact that she was supposed to be that way; that was the joke. Oh yeah, that was the cartoon that had the werewolf guy, Escapay! The nerdy kid was always trying to impress her, but at midnight he would always turn into that werewolf that she found attractive! It's all coming back!

The Hippos ROCKED. I don't remember their names, but I like the episode when they are on a cruise and the woman hippo loses her diamond. They search the entire ship when they realize she sat on it and it's stuck on her bottom!

Yeah I remember that. It was so funny!!! I love that episode too.

[pinkrenata]

Wasn't the male hippo's name Fabio or something?

It was Flabbio, I think!

Oh, and this thread has inspired me to make a Minerva Mink avatar!

[Sunset Girl]

Hey, pinkrenata! Nice avatar!!!

[Leonia]

I miss watching this show...why isn't this show on DVD?! For shame, WB, for shame.

I remember it was one of the few TV shows I could watch without interruption from Mom having to shuttle me and my sister between extracurricular activities as a kid.

Helloooooooooooooooo Nurse! (I couldn't resist)

It was Flavio and Marita Hippo, I believe.

Pinkrenata, that was fast avatar-making! Nice job!

EDIT: That hello nurse thing wasn't for the avatar Pinkrenata, just so you all know. That would have been very ew. I just said it for fun.

I remember Anamaniacs very well. I must admit that I preferred Tiny Toon Adventures a bit more, but this show still knew how to rock my socks. I was more partial to the Warner Brothers and the Warner Sister and I may have actually believed that they run the Warner Brothers Studio at one point.

I haven't seen a lot of the episodes in years, so tragically, I can't remember lots of it. From my vague memories, I seem to remember enjoying the Yacko, Wacko and Dot rendition of The First Noel and their version of Beauty and the Beast.

Animaniacs rocked! I'm dying for it to get get released on DVD! I loved the way they were so "toony" almost like 30s characters.

But does anyone remember "Histeria"? That rocked even more! Animated escapades in history! Brillance! I doubt Histeria will ever make it to DVD. But I have my fingers crossed for Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures!

I seem to remember that. I must say that I thought it was interesting, but not as good as Tiny Toons and Animaniacs.

I love Animaniacs!!!!!....Haven't seen the show in awhile,though....I have The Pinky and The Brain Christmas special on tape....One of my favorite quote from the episode goes something like this....

Pinky:I don't want to be an elf,Brain

Brain:Then what do you want to be?

Pinky:A dentist!

Brain:You've been watching too many holiday specials,Pinky!


As for the characters,my favorites are....

Pinky and the Brain....always good for a laugh...I liked when they got their own show,but didn't like when they added Elmyra(whom I've always found annoying)...

The Warner Brothers(and Sister)....Yakko,Wakko and Dot are a riot...I loved the "Baloney and Kids"(Barney and Friends parody) episode where they keep dropping anvils on Baloney(and even make up their own "Anvil Song")...another favorite is when they visit Dracula("Aren't you the guy that teaches math on Sesame Street?")

Rita and Runt....I loved Rita's songs and singing voice(and,yes,it was Bernadette Peters)...

Buttons and Mindy....These are kinda hit or miss(I liked the "French" episode best),but Mindy's adorable(she's voiced by the same actress who voices Bart Simpson)...

I'm also kinda surprised at what the show got away with....One of my favorite quotes is from a Thanksgiving episode (where the Warner siblings have a pet turkey)....

Hunter: Give me the bird!!!!

Yakko:We'd love to,but the censors won't allow it.

Yeah, you have to be a teenager to really enjoy all that show had to offer.

[Zoltack]

I love the Animaniacs, it was very, very funny. I keep hoping that they'll have the episodes out on DVD soon.
I love the "Wheel of Morality."
When Wacko does his burping or farting bits on stage and plays a song. And he's all like "excuss me... excuss me," and everyone is tossing him flowers.
I also like Mr. Boneyhands, Mr. Mime and the security guard Ralph.
Yeah the Animaniacs are great, but I haven't seen an episode in such a long time.

That's actually a repeat of a gag used in one of the very first Tweety cartoons!

ohh the good times...
the three pitchions were great and also the episode when the old grey squirrel(Slappy was called)? and... the young one( Skippy?) went to hollywood because the little fella was traumatized because Bombi´s mom was death...
Pretty funny the "transformation"...
Buttons and Mandy was good to.
But when Wacko singed opera with Burps...
LOL

[Timon/Pumbaa fan]

I remember watching a couple episodes of this show when I was little. It was enjoyable. But compared to Disney and Loony Tunes, I got bored with it.

[Timon/Pumbaa fan]

Yeah I remember that show. It was like the most bizzare history lesson you'll ever have! The show was amusing at times but overall nothing great. I never became a fan of the show. I liked the big fat baby though.

Yeah I remember that episode with Bombi and how Slappy had to explain to Skippy that cartoons can't die.
I forgot about Pinky and the Brain... they where great too.

The only thing I can really remember from that show was when they were explaining how the months of the year got their names, and there was a comittee there to make the decisions. Part of it went something like this. . .

"How about (insert dramatic pause) Bobuary?"
"Uh. . . no, Bob."

[pinkrenata]

I enjoyed Histeria!, although I don't remember it so well. Was it Plato who acted like Mr. Rogers?

[MickeyMousePal]

Umm...... Histeria! was cancel after one season. I thought it was stupid and werid.
