I'm surprised. I would've thought a lot of people heard about it when it was close to releasing. I've only watched the first episode of it and I remember laughing to it. It's Animaniacs but in modern times. I have to watch the rest of the show to judge but it's one of those moments where you're like "that's nice but I'm probably not gonna have the time to watch it." If old fans like Cubed hasn't watched it yet, that further proves it. It's only on Hulu though.

And I'm sure people are going to feel the same way about the Tiny Toons revival supposedly coming soon.

At least the Animaniacs revival still have the original voices and character designs. The new Tiny Toons one sounds like it will be a train wreck.

I loved Animaniacs as a little kid, i have fond memories of it but it's one of those shows I have no interest in ever revisiting. Not because I think the show will be bad, just that I don't think I'd find it appealing.

Anyone else memorize the songs? I VHS-recorded Yakko's Nations of the World, transcribed it and memorized it at the time. I can still sort-of sing some of it.

*sdp* · 05-18-2022, 10:04 AM

Not as a kid but I have some songs memorized because they've been posted so often on the internet for the past 20 years

I memorized Wakko's State Capitols as a kid, and that stuff sticks with you like glue. I swear I must've gotten out of a nasty situation years later by thinking "B-B-BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA, INDIANAPOLIS INDIANA..."

Yeah but to be fair, the VAs for Plucky Duck and Hampton Pig are no longer around. Those are the only characters I can think of that need replacements. They could get Eric Bauza but he'll have to distinct those voices a bit from his Daffy and Porky voices.

Yakkos Nations of the World is iconic, but heavily outdated by now. Some borders have changed since then and new countries have also been born. But that was bound to happen, anyway. And clearly it was meant as geography lesson for kids of the time.

Somewhere floating around on the internet, is Rob Paulsen singing a modernized version of the Nations of the World with an extra verse or two.

I think I've run into that video before but didn't know it was an updated version of it. I didn't actually watch the video iirc. I guess I just assumed he was singing the song as he remembered it.

Except their faces are now yellowish. Someone please explain the reason behind that change?

*drgon78* · 07-10-2023, 05:23 AM

I would prefer to forget about the revival and just hope for a blu ray release of the original series.

There’s already been a DVD release of the entire original series.

*drgon78* · 07-10-2023, 12:33 PM

I know, I want a blu ray release.

*CyberCubed* · 07-10-2023, 12:39 PM

I remember the revival having a lot of hype behind it when it first came out. I guess it wasn't as good as it could of been?

It was fine, but Animaniacs was more than just the Warners, Pinky and the Brain. Not bringing back everyone else really hurt it.

I disagree, Pinky & The Brain were the only other characters clearly worth while getting their own spin-off. The other characters were kinda stupid and overall pointless. The revival has been good for what it was

*drgon78* · 10-21-2023, 06:13 AM

Slappy and Skippy Squirrel deserved their own series. While they didn't need a series I still like Chicken Boo, Minerva Mink, and Good idea/Bad idea. I agree about the rest.

*KROW* · 10-21-2023, 01:06 PM

This show was funny as hell. I loved the variety of weird-ass characters spliced throughout the series and how quotable it all was. Storm Wolf has the same good memories, so it was easy to convince her to get the DVD set.

I haven't watched the reboot since I don't have Hulu, but I want to -- even if most of the lesser characters are excluded.

*The Deadman* · 10-22-2023, 09:19 PM

The reboot was hilarious, I dont know why they cancelled that again but brought back Futurama for the 3rd time. Like there's a reason why that show was cancelled twice before.
