Almost every episode had transformations, costume changes, and bondage of some sort. I don't know if it was intentional or not as it was all standard cartoon transformations and bondage is super common in spy fiction. None of the creators admitted to their kinks in any interviews, and given how tv is collaborative, it's likely different eoisodes had different writers so it's hard to know what was or wasn't considered to be sexy. I think some parts were intended to be sexy (costume changes and shots of the girls butts), but the transformations probably weren't as every transformation is standard in fiction. I think it just gets labeled as fetish fuel as it's women in latex suits undergoing transformations versus if it's superman in the silver age. Overall I feel it unintentionally shaped the kinks of an entire generation.

My awakening characters were Harley Quinn, Jinx and Himiko Toga. Idk what that says about me

The thing is, that despite 'oversexualizing characters', both Minerva and Hello Nurse were intelligent, and knew how to use their beauty to grab other character's attention. Sure, Minerva cared mostly for looks, and is shallow, but outsmarts the dog hunting her at least several times in oned of the two episodes! Hello Nurse KNOWS she's beautiful, but doesn't care to use the same ploy as Minerva. She speaks a few languages, is fashionable, has won mutiple awards in science, ca pable of solving complex mathematics and when she's not in Animaniacs, she volunteers her free time at the zoo caring for animals! I'm sad that Hello Nurse didn't appear in the new series, despite the fact that she herself stated in the movie, 'Wakko's Wish', that she'd be acknowledged for her mind, not her body! Plus, it would've been nice to see Minerva Mink and Walter Wolf's friendship dynamic change into something better, like Minerva realizing that looks, aren't everything!

Actually, the dog, Newt, appeared in a Rita & Runt episode (voiceless and just a regular dog) in the episode involving 1939's Poland.

Minerva Mink's "unforgivable sin" was that she was a main character of her shorts. Other "sex appeal" female characters and scenes were safe because they were minor characters or just present for a quick joke. Other characters could safely deliver similar or even stronger innuendos because those innuendos were brief gags that were minor elements of the shorts and the characters. It was Minerva Mink's role as a main character that was killed; her status was reduced to the "acceptable" role as a minor/background character that could briefly show up for jokes in others' stories.

I think they took it just a little too far, but I think otherwise, she isn’t a bad character to have on the show. Kids don’t see characters like that and think too themselves,” Oh she’s sexy,” but rather, just see her as another Animaniac. I think the trick to having a solid character like this is to balance the “sexy” jokes with other traits as well. In this case, they put too much emphasis on her being attractive and not much else to make her feel dynamic and likable

To be fair, alot of the Animaniacs aren't written to be likable. The Warner's whole schtick is they torment and harass innocent bystanders for their own amusement. Slappy Squirrel is an old curmudgeon who is a functional sociopath. The Brain wants to take over the world. Chicken Boo is just a chicken who pretends he's not. The Hip Hippos are fat and hedonistic. Mindy exists to make Button's life miserable. Pesto constantly attacks Squit over perceived slights. Katie Kaboom explodes violent or becomes a raging hormone monster. The Animaniacs all have strong personalities, but few of them are written to be symapthetic characters. Generally they are pitted against even less sympathetic antagonists to make you root for the lesser evil.

Maybe he's gay, or isn't into her in particular (he's into redheads, brunettes, chubby women, muscular women, older women, etc.) and has to use her wits to get what she wants.

When it came to overly sexualized cartoon characters, Both Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse became absolute icons!

For Rita and Runt, the reason I heard was Rita was voiced by Bernadette Peters, a Broadway legend and she was an expensive hire to maintain. The other rumor is that runt mocked people with mental disabilities. The reason most likely to be true was Bernadette Peters though. It’s the reason you hardly see A list stars do voice work for tv shows and video games. The A list Star may want a big pay check, but doing voices for video games and tv shows doesn’t bring in a huge paycheck.

I'm a woman and I also think Minerva is pretty entertaining. She's probably not somebody I'd get along with if she were real, but she also ended up getting hoisted by her own petard in the conclusion of her two shorts, so it isn't like she ever "won" or got away with her behavior. ETA: Well, "Moon Over Minerva" wasn't an unhappy ending for her, but still, it isn't like the show ever said her behavior was fine or anything. I dunno, I always viewed her as being like a Kelly or Peg Bundy type (money-grubbing, shallow, distracted by anything with big muscles and good hair 😄). It surprised me to see how polarizing she is. Every single female character doesn't need to be a role model or upstanding citizen. Sometimes I just wanna laugh, y'know? And yeah, I like her design too.

I think the writers' initial goal was Minerva was to make her a call back to the Tex Avery classic cartoons, which had VERY sexually explicit gags (like Red Hot Riding Hood and the Wolf), and to see how far the censors would let them go with her. But the censors got scared and demanded her character be cut back significantly. Had they not, I imagine the writers would have fleshed Minerva out more. On the surface she looks like a 1-note sex joke, but there's more going on with Minerva under the good. It's heavily implied she's lonely and doesn't like being hit on, but at the same time she herself is quite shallow, easily swayed by attractive guys. She only really got 2 shorts so there wasn't much chance for her character to be explored or fleshed out, much as characters in Animaniacs got at least.

I loved Minerva and really loved the entire thing of her going nuts over wills transformation. It made me happy seeing a female character act like how all male characters acted when seeing her.

Very insightful and answers the question why she was barely seen in the show. On a related note, you should do a follow up segement called "The Death of Sally Acorn" from Sonic. Only difference is that she was inteligent and tech savvy while also being attractive.

She had great story's in the comic's.

Thanks for remindering me to draw Minerva for "reasons"

I actually kinda remember her having a cameo in looney tunes comics as well, I think it was a daffy parody based off the Troy movie and Minerva appeared as the human goddess Minerva, then gets tossed overboard by daffy lol

I do feel Minerva had potential for more appearance, the second short and the comics were proof of that. I can agree that the shorts certainly pushed the innuendos a bit too far, but compared to the more risqué comics and other infamous innuendoes from the show, it’s tame in comparison. At the very least, she remains pretty popular, and won’t be forgotten any time soon. Also, am I the only one who doesn’t mind, and actually kinda likes, Katie Kaboom?

For me minerva falls flat, I find some of the takes hilarious and it feels one note, maybe if we saw her as more her as a character, I think she'd have potential. She doesn't connect with me as I don't find her sexy. That's a problem Ms. Fanservice characters run into with certain viewers, not everyone thinks they're sexy and they may not be fond of them if they aren't sexually into them. Like how gay men/straight women can feel towards someone like minerva mink or hello nurse. They may find them one note and boring because they won't find them sexy. Or if your tastes in women don't swing in that direction.

I still love Minerva Mink! If only the writers did find some ways to tone her down.

Kids have more sexual awareness then we adults seem to realize or remember about when we were kids. Kids did get a lot of the sexual endinuendo jokes a bit more than we expect and learned to relate particular features and actions to attractive sexual traits did have an influence. While they could have done more and better with Minerva on the show. I think sex appeal was just a low bar to keep adults entertained. While the kids were not so much entertained themselves, however did get influence by the story and imagery. If the parents saw what was going on, then they may have some extra work to do.

I also think that the character of Minerva was teaching them a lesson they would need in the future: be kind to other people regardless of their looks, treat others like you want to be treated, and that it's okay to be confident, not vain. It also was a good example of how some people would use their looks to manipulate others -- IIRC, sexy female characters were often shown in a positive light (like, the cartoon protagonist would go through hell and back just to win the hot girl's favor) or resisting the advances of protagonists. Minerva was one of the first female cartoon characters who would openly use her sex appeal for her own selfish means -- and it's extremely refreshing.

I just remember those ongoing rumors that there were other Minerva Mink shorts completed for the show, but just left on the cutting room floor because of how risque the character was. Really interested in getting confirmation one way or the other on that.

My niece who was 5 and 6 at the time loved Minerva Mink because we have the same first name. The double entendre stuff went over my niece Elly's head.

V should be the third media momento

In regards to Buttons and Mindy, well at least Buttons himself is cute

I think I like the way they don't make her entirely this vixen with complete control or intelligence. They give her these Masculine sort of flaws you'd only see in male character, like the way she goes absolutely bonkers over an attractive man, or even her backstory. From what I heard, growing up she was considered an ugly duckling. That's probably why she's so shallow, and harsh with her rejections.

Wasn't into this character compared to the others like Chicken Boo or Slappy Squirrel. But I'll admit, she deserves better.

I loved Minerva. She was like a smart female Johnny Bravo. I loved that they had her be the "Ooga" girl who goes bananas for guys too.

One thing I enjoyed about shows like Animaniacs and Tiny Toons was that their leading ladies were every bit as loony as their male counter parts. What made characters like Lola bunny from the og Space Jam so boring was that she was not only the token female but given no personality outside of that, when compared to a cast of quirky guys. Dot, Minerva, Babs Bunny, Fifi ect were all just as fun, silly, and flawed as the guys and that's what made them entertaining to watch. At least Lola's reboot characterization makes her more loony and fun to watch.

As a kid I kinda got the whole “she’s the sex appeal character” and didn’t really think anything of it. Hell I still have my vhs of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, battered as it is. When my mom saw Minerva and was starting to make a fuss my dad (smooth devil) said to her “what’s the problem? She’s a cute blonde like you?” and nothing more was said about Miss Mink.

I feel like overtime they could revamp her character and given much more and taken bits and pieces from her comic book and cartoon adaption and blending it together.or do like the looney tunes show make her pretty and wacky like lola

To be honest, I forgot Minerva even existed.

Wilford's alt form's basically handsome Jon Talbain from Darkstalkers.

Gota say I hate this whole idea that "Women can't be sexy because that would be offensive" thing too many modern cartoons have flattened women's chests to avoid them being "Sex objects" Except for the fact that its not wrong especial when you show that women too objectify men. being attracted and attractive is natural. Women have breasts Stop pretending they don't and Im also bugged by character designs that need to also cover the arms, legs and bellies.

Minerva Mink: Possibly the 1st OnlyFans furry.

Love Minerva. She is crazy and fun to watch. 🎉sexuality seems to be always viewed worse than violence in the media industry. I still wish she had been given more episodes. With a bit less of the horny behavior and more of a look at her actual personality.

Whether it was by bad luck, or inconvenient circumstances, I unfortunately never saw the "Minerva Mink" episode segments as a child when "Animaniacs" originally aired in the 90's on the "KidsWB" block of the "WB" network (when it was still around); (though I always did wonder who that light blonde haired, white furred, animal girl in a red dress was in the show's opening at that time was, as I apparently NEVER saw the episode segments that featured her as a side character, OR a background character either). Fortunately, thanks to discovering DeviantArt (yes, I know what many of y'all think of that site, but it does have its upsides), I finally discovered, and learned about Minerva Mink shortly after doing so in 2008; which naturally led me to finally finding and watching her "Animaniacs" episode segments online.

There are some deleted animation cels from Meet Minerva, where her heart beats out in different areas of her body.

Honestly, I liked her and Katie. I would happily rewatch their skits over Slappy the squirrel and Rita and Runt. You guys are right in saying that if we could have seen more with her and wilfred wolf, that would have been very interesting. It also would have been very interesting to see what other foes they would have put her against. And how the character would have eventually evolved.

I think Minerva could comeback if they give her the lola bunny treatment from the looney tunes show

I just finished up the first 8 eps of Animaniacs (2020 - 2023) and yep. Same issues as the last three, with okay segments here and there. But very much loved seeing Julia Brain again in that awesome segment. But besides that, nice video on Minerva Mink here. Yes, the history on her has been made very clear on what we've known about her for years and her decline from any more segments, reduced to cameos to her comics. I've had a crush on her since i was kid and was happy back in 2008 when the dvd were gonna start selling in stores that year. Getting to revisit an old show i had not seen in years and the old series still holds up. Heart was put into every ep. Unlike the reboot. Anywho, your vids on Animaniacs have been awesome so keep it up. Yes, i'll admit her character was shallow and her second segment i loved more, due to giving her some characterization. Would've loved it to see her grow as character, but such as. I didn't really care for that at the time, when all i had google eyes and drooled for her, while i'm being honest. but you've made some valid points here about her and loved it. Take you guys and have a good one! Ps. I do love Meet Minerva more for obvious reasons.

Minerva Mink, Trance Gemini, 7of9, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and others among various *awakening* characters for various 90s boys. Twas a different time.

I think it would have been funny if they brought her back for the reboot and made her a twitch streamer. That would be modern and still completely relevant to her character; a lot of comedic opportunities to be had as well. And if you wanted to make it wholesome, at the end show that she she's one of those streamers that actually has a boyfriend and it's Wilford.

Minerva should get her own show, a documentary to how her design and characteristics had to be dummed down. And her personal opinion on the bullshit of sensorship,plus how ideotic it was for them to go after her when hello nurse was MUCH

To quote Jessica Rabbit: “I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way.”

I use to get in trouble in first grade for saying “helloooo nurse!” 😂

I loved her and most of the cast.

Minerva embraced her power over others. That's probably the "problem."

Minerva Mink was one of the more... memorable and amusing characters of the series.

Didn't you guys forget something? Minerva's voice actress, Julie Brown! For God's sake, she's a comedy legend!

Oh Minerva, you deserved so much better compared to your fanbase....

12:10, That is the BEST and FUNNIEST reaction ever! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

Miss Mink,I always wondered what became of her, and now I know, and I think she was the reason I wake up each day, because she took my breath away!

Justice for Minerva Mink! Bring back Minerva Mink!

I wish that in a far distant future the only thing left of our civilization is the picture we see at 13:17 (furry marrying Minerva) and future civilization have to somehow explain it. I would love to hear their speculations.

Minerva is best described as underrated.

These dull as dishwater executives and censors have always been the bane of these fun concepts. Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse suffered the same fate, but even before them, characters like Janine from the real Ghostbusters back in the 80s had censors transform her from a sexy brooklynite to a ditsy nanny like motherly character. I'm not even in it for the characters sex appeal because I'm gay (yes Wilfred Wolf's transformations did it for me!) But I just liked the characters of Minerva, Hello Nurse and Janine because their sexy appeal gave them a fun character dynamic. They even had in an Animanaics comic how Hello Nurse was a secret agent and super intelligent spy who was secretly the smartest character on the show, loved this concept, and they didn't need to stop her sexy appearance to make it happen.

One of the key problems with Mineva was that she was written as an antagonist, not a protagonist. She was shallow, self-centered and only concerned about her own whims...which was not much. There wasn't much to her except the sexuality. Maybe they should have put her in a more modern setting, having to get a job, bills and such, with a female opposite to play off of rather than just males to fawn over her. Like say, a not as "attractive" but still cute and far more rounded female that gets the attention of the "hunk" Mineva eventually loses it over, or gets the job Mineva wants by being a hard worker.

Minerva mink was my first cartoon crush as a kid, thumbs up if ya feel me!

I was a teenager when I watched the Animainiacs, so I... ummm... appreciated... Minerva Mink.

Was definitely a fan and I thought she needed more skits.

She should have more episodes with Newt. Newt was a very good character and the actor who did his voice nailed it.

13:15 What an insane world we live in. XD

I think the only thing my mother hated about this show was that I started saying "OK Lady" when she told me to do things which greatly upset her and I'm pretty sure I was grounded at least once for it. Now did I original say it to cause problems no, did child me after finding out it pissed her off keep doing it, most likely yes, I don't have much memories from that age but kids do like to annoy their parents. So if nothing else they got Mindy's mom attitude right lol.
