One of the showrunners for the show is Wellsley Wild, who's mainly known for working on adult shows, such as Family Guy. This is the first time he worked on a kids show. I'm guessing the show has an identity crisis since it's more like a cynical adult show that doesn't want to be a kids show rather than a kids show that also wants to appeal to older audiences.

One thing I will say is that Tom Rugger actually gave ideas on what he would have done if he was given some creative input which are actually better then the reboot's ideas First instead of the Warners not exsiting for 20 years only to be reanimated Rugger instead said that he would have had a reveal where the Warners where the ones controlling the internet from inside the Warner Tower for 20 years. And this makes a lot of sense and shows off the Warners personalities the best Another idea was to have Hello Nurse be the new CEO instead of that genric lady in the actual show and this also makes sense consdering how Hello Nurse was portrayed to be smart (it's shown the best in Wakko's Wish) And a final change was to bring back Slappy Squirel and have them be aged up where Skippy would be a adult still living with Slappy with Slappy desperately trying to get him to move out. Once again a really funny concept which feels like something that the orignal show would do But nah let's bring the Family Guy writers to handle this show not the orignal creator because we know that Family Guy has had some good writing/humor in the last 30 years

The way I saw it, the warners represented three different forms of old school humor: Yakko was of course, quips and fast talking, Wakko was physical slapstick, and Dot was subversive self-awareness. What I mean by that was Dot was aware that she could get away with more by way of charm, but she also had a side to her that would seem REALLY REALLY horrifying if you took it into account being said by a real cute child.

But Pinky genuinely believes Brain is doing this entirely altruistically, which admittedly kind of blew Brain away in that christmas episode since he probably always assumed the reason Pinky helped him was cause Pinky's a dumb follower who's WILLING to help him.

My original thoughts on the reboot were pretty good and I immediately became involved with the show's fanbase. Later would I find out that the show's fan base was pretty much the equivalent to (in my opinion) when Steve-O from MTV's Jackass took drugs. Being a fan of Animaniacs WAS A NIGHTMARE to follow through for 2 and a half years. On one hand I'm glad that I'm not a fan of Animaniacs anymore but on the other, I'm sad that I'm not a fan of it because I made friends with people online while I was watching the show who watched the show just as much as I did. I originally announced on my Twitter a year ago that I was done with Animaniacs. And I still have an unfinished Pinky and the Brain season that I need to finish on DVD along with Pinky, Elmyra, and The Brain a spin-off that focused on Pinky and the Brain being with Elmyra from Tiny Toons.

One major problem with 'Animaniacs 2020' was WB not bringing Tom Ruegger back as show runner. Tom Ruegger was A very crucial part of the original show's success. I also agree that the new show focused primarily on The Warners, and Pink & The Brain. They're great characters if you handle them well, but they do get old, and tired if you use them too much. That's why the original had other characters like Slappy Squirrel, Chicken Boo, The Goodfethers, ect. to off set the over usage of the former characters to keep the show from becoming stale, and they would all be A welcome addition to the new show. You also bring up A good point on how the revival doesn't understand who The Warners are. They're agents of chaos to help reign in the more mundane nonsense, but instead became straight men. Dot, especially shouldn't be remade into A 'feminist icon' when she already is. She may look cute on the serface, but she uses it to her advantage.

They're not as one-note like in the original. Yakko's a clever smartass, but his insecurity makes him more endearing as it shows he strives to be a better person for his siblings.

The latter is even more relevant now than it was then if for no other reason than because of how the hegemony of a certain other cartoon mouse has become a serious social problem.

I was excited initially hearing about animaniacs coming back. First season and I was bored, annoyed, and frustrated with literally everything. In regards to Hello Nurse for example, it's the same situation with Bellum from the Powerpuff girls. Women with breasts and sexually appealing bodies? Not allowed because let's just ignore the fact that for both bellum and hello nurse they were shown to be highly intelligent, component, hardworking, passionate with their fields, empathetic, prepared (learning useful skills like nurse learning Japanese). Now MAYBE it could be argued that in the original show they go too far with the hello nurse bit but, correct me if I'm wrong. Nurse was never shown to be uncomfortable with their behavior and dot was always there to reign them in showing that this kind of behavior is wrong. Also in the original show there's a whole song by yakko and wakko about their respect and acknowledging her successes and achievements with multiple PhDs, being passionate/good at her job etc. The siblings have just been downgraded, it's embarrassing. There were very few if any opponents that could actually bring down the Warner siblings. Dot is just annoying to listen to everytime trying to dunk on men at every opportunity. You can bring women up without tearing men down. Yakko and wakko have become boring and just shells of their former selves. I hate they didn't include slappy and Skippy bit. Personally that one was one of if not my favorite side show in Animaniacs. I loved the sweet relationship Skippy had being optimistic and starry eyed about her fame and looks up to her. Meanwhile counter balanced with slappy's more cynical/realistic approach to life and problems. And it's just funny in general. But also shows that at times Skippy will pick up a thing or two from his aunt while slappy has shown to have a softer side. In the episode Skippy sees the Bambi parody, slappy does everything she can to get him to stop crying because she cant bear to see him upset and is also annoyed by it but, who wouldn't. But still genuinely cares about him and his happiness. The politics in this show is so heavily ham fisted and forced it's not even funny. Yess the original show made fun of politics but, it was sparingly and they went after everybody. Remember in the original cartoons president songs when they got to the Clintons they bashed both Hillary and Bill. Now all of a sudden Dot is praising Hillary like a goddess or a great symbol of female empowerment... Why...?

This is what is wrong with the world today in my opinion. The mean spiritedness, the bitterness, the disregard of things. These are ingredients to a foul and toxic dish people push to be a good thing. Too many shows, fandoms, genres have been plagued by this. The people brought on don't care, they never did. They see shows and properties like this as easy money instead of a legacy to be honored. How hard is it to be respectful? Mindful? Honorable? How much is it to ask for dignity, decency and love? To Hulu and these show runners? Too much! But if you say anything at all, if you don't consume the slop being pushed as fine wine you'll be slandered, mocked, ridiculed, until you either turn away or give in. I'm so sorry you had to endure this but know that the original has and will always be around. We need people like you, me, many others now more than ever. Even if we cannot make it to the status that they have we can help by inspiring others, pushing our own ideas, being adamant in our beliefs. I wish you well and more in the future, I however cannot say the same to the people who desecrated this show.

As for my life, I had to go through a lot to get the safe life I live today so it wasn't always easy for me. I guess the other reason I got so passionate was because the 90s was my childhood and it takes me back to when things were simpler and my grandparents were alive. Terribly sorry if I sounded like I was being overdramatic, it honestly wasn't intentional.

Since I first saw it, I always thought the Bun/Gun Control allegory would've worked way better if they went for the "right to bear arms" pun - as in bears' paws - since bear arms could actually be used to kill like a gun and, like guns, aren't alive or able to act on their own. You could actually portray the attitudes of gun owners and their defences instead of just painting them as irresponsible breeders (even if the Warners calling them out would be kinda hypocritical knowing their slapstick ways), and the anime scene could've ended with the Warners calling upon all the limbless bears the salesman stole the paws from

Superb video, and I agree with pretty much everything V said. For the characterization of the Warners, I have a feeling that since some of the producers admitted they didn't care for the original show, the people behind the reboot just took the bare basics of what they knew of the trio (them being "wacky, loud, and snarky"), and just made them the same character, with the odd exception being Dot. Now, I don't mind female characters who aren't just pretty faces, but are also strong and have agency, but I do have a problem when people try to make "strong" female characters without giving them any depth, character flaws, or anything genuinely interesting about them, especially when modern writers try to "update" female characters who were already great and beloved, and that's definitely the case with "Nu-maniacs'" take on Dot. By taking away Wakko and especially Yakko's respective shticks and transplanting them onto Dot, it makes them feel redundant, and making Dot's main characteristic "wit" instead of her cuteness takes away what was unique about her. Ironically, by trying to make Dot a "stronger" character, they made it feel like she's overcompensating for the traits they removed, making her feel like a weaker character than her classic counterpart (this is actually a trend I've noticed happen more often in a lot of American/Western media recently). As for Brain, I laughed at some jokes, but I didn't like how they made him more sinister in his personality. Yes, Brain has tried to take over the world via underhanded means multiple times, but his main goal, like V and even Trevor in the past have said, is to take over the world so he can "save" it. He believes he's the only being on the planet who can truly solves all the world's issues, believing humans are too incompetent, and wants to be openly loved and adored as ruler of the Earth, not feared (though, he has admitted it's also "a bit" for "selfish reasons"). That bit of nuance and depth seems to be missing from "Nu!Brain", since it was always Snowball was more the evil supervillain type who wanted to rule through fear and violence. However, the three things which stood out for me for the most were the animation, the jokes, and most of the character designs outside of the returning cast. With the animation, it looks and feels stiff and "puppt-y" to me most of the time. I'm not against digital animation and puppet rigs for animation if they're done well and made to look as smooth, expressive, and seamless as possible, but when it's done badly, it's done *REALLY* badly. Very rarely did it feel like the characters naturally moved. Plus, it's a nitpick, but I don't care for the shade of eggshell white used on the Warners' and Pinky and the Brain's fur compared to the white on their fur in the original. It just feels off. With the jokes, V pretty much said what was on my mind, but I was also wondering as I watched the reboot if the writers just automatically assumed the original Animaniacs had a lot of grossout humor because it was made in the 90s, and just decided "Eh, what the hell?". If so, that definitely shows that they weren't as committed as they said they were, because Animaniacs was well-known for being a 90s cartoon which *didn't* rely on grossout and toilet humor like many of its contemporaries. Also, with the political humor for Animanics and Pinky and the Brain, I would like to say that in my experience watching them, there were couple more times the Republicans got made fun of than the Democrats (Rush Limbaugh was definitely a favorite target), but I will say those shows weren't afraid to mock the Democrats and the Clintons, either (I still remember the episode of Pinky and the Brain which implied that Bill Clinton was actually the "Pinky" to Hillary's "Brain", or the one with Al Gore as an Eeyore parody who was "full of hot air", or the one which had the Clintons as part of a cult which worshipped a parody of The Three Stooges). Besides that, they were actually clever, and not overused, while this show already has outdated Trump and Russian jokes (btw, putting current events aside, did anyone else find the portrayal of the Russian people in this show to be pretty xenophobic?), and I can't imagine them ever making jokes at the expense of Biden or Harris. Finally, this is something I don't think was brought up, but outside of the designs of the returning cast members, the rest of the background and an ensemble cast look like they don't belong in Animaniacs, or any similar show made by Tom Ruegger. They all look like they'd fit better in a modern Ren and Stimpy or any similar show than in a modern Animaniacs. It's like the character designers took the design philosophy they had with all the celebrity caricatures and applied that to every character who already wasn't established. It just feels awkward to look at. Sorry for the long rant, but overall, this reboot is a mess from beginning to its hopefully eventual end. I can this running for about 52, episodes, maybe 65, but that's it. I doubt this will last as long or be as beloved as the original. Such a disappointing take on a beloved 90s show, with a clear disdain for what made the original great in the first place. If this is the best we can get for Animaniacs, then I am definitelly not looking forward to what they'll do with Tiny Toons, especially since they made Babs and Buster Bunny (*NO* relation) into "twin siblings", possibly to ape off Dipper and Mabel from Gravity Falls. P.S. If there was ever a time Hello Nurse and/or Minerva Mink could've been used for a parody, it definitely should've been with the "80s Cats" skit, since either of them would've been a better fit to parody Cheetara than Dot was, who's more suited to a character like WilyKit.

Again, I'm not gonna force you guys, and I know you guys are currently still considering crossovers with other people, but there's some things which I think would make for good topics. For example, you probably haven't seen it, but I had an idea on doing something similar like "Vs the Network" with Voltron: Legendary Defender. That show started strong, but was plagued by a hurricane of things going wrong; from executive meddling interfering with the show's story, to disagreements between the staff, to some of the staff leaving due to to interference from the executives, to the toys and merchandising being screwed up because they went with Playmates instead of Bandai, and an infamous fandom which outright threatened and blackmailed the showrunners. On top of that, the finale movie got scrapped while still in development, because Dreamworks/Universal made a new deal with Hulu and not Netflix, and they also lost the full rights to Voltron franchise back to World Event Productions. It's a tragedy, if I've ever heard one, and I was there when all of it happened, and know friends who still remember it well. I apologize for this tangent, but I just thought it'd be interesting to share, since Voltron in general has a rocky history as a franchise, and I think going over its history in a video would be interesting, but I understand if you're not interested.

From Bill Clinton's bits and sax playing, to Rush Limbaugh jabs (R.I.P.)... the original writers knew exactly how much to push the envelope and how to convey a good sense of humor without taking sides.

Nope, it sadly seems that bopping the brothers, stealing Yakko's prominent role, shushing up their "mansplaining" and casually removing Hello Nurse and Minerva Mink as if they never existed were the only way to satisfy the woke & PC censors. A shame, really, as those missing characters are sorely missed. I don't miss "Buttons & Mindy" or "Katy Ka-Boom", though, as I always thought those skits sucked. And "Chicken Boo" was a gag that only worked once, but became hopelessly tiresome when the formula was repeated over and over again. Making him a secret top villain in the new series doesn't make any sense at all. the new show is beautiful in the animation scenes, but nowhere near as funny as the original 1993-1999 version. Sorry, Steven Spielberg, but the woke jokes just don't work. They are not funny. And now Steven is going to re-boot "Tiny Toon Adventures" for 2023 by making Buster & Babs siblings instead of boyfriend & girlfriend. Give it a rest, already ,Steven. We don't need a re-boot of "Freakazoid' or "Road Rovers", either. Those two shows were fine the way they were back in the 90's.

@@oshkeet First off, for your information, I was born in 1968, so that makes me a Generation X'er, not a Zoomer. Second, yes, I remember that Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse were censored. Minerva especially got the censor's ax more often from the nervous censors, but still had a lasting impact on viewers and fans to this day. The internet is loaded with fans of her who do tribute drawings to her, good and offensive that are still a symbol to her dedication of her admiration in her absence. You may think I'm not smart enough to realize that censors can be unreasonable (look at Governor Ron DeSantis and his waste of time debating with Disney) , but I am smart enough to know that Paul Dini and Sherri Stoner are Minerva's creators. Not a lot of "Animaniacs" viewers know that, and Paul Dini is a brilliant animator and storywriter who also came up with Harley Quinn of "The Animated Batman Series" with Bruce Timm, so that's nothing to sneeze at. Third, if you think I'm some kind of person that gets mad at Dot Warner who gets sassy (the word is "incel", I presume, and yes, it's some kind of slur against men and boys who are celibate by choice. They are NOT all members of horrible organizations like "MGTOW" or Nationalist/ Fascist societies like the Proud Boys who support a schmuck like Donald Trump. Donald Trump can suck it for all I can tell. He does not recommend any kind of advice or suggestions that I seek, and I am not a member of his team/cult.)then you must be judging me for no good reason. Dot can be cute and funny, depending on the writer who scripts her lines, and the writer of "Family Guy" (Wellsley Wild) seems all wrong for the show; I preferred writers like Tom Ruegger, Peter Hastings, and Sherri Stoner, but they are somehow not involved with the new show. Tom Ruegger, in particular is sore about not being chosen to write for the new series and wonders why Steven Spielberg is ignoring him. Also note that former John K. artist/accuser Katie Rice also writes scripts for the new series. But aside from the point of order, you think that I hate or distrust Dot's sense of character or judgement. Not only is that incorrect, but I also do notice the changes are slightly more forced and contrived from the playful original series put-downs and zingers, so please don't accuse me of misogyny or any other sort of hatred/bigotry. I like Dot just the same. Do you think I'm hysterical? Perhaps? But it's all in subjection, and I am not doing this for any political stature. I prefer to be rational about it. Yes, I know that the woke agenda is nothing new. Censorship is as old as time itself. There is always going to be some political or authority creeps that will tell you what and what not to watch or listen to, no matter what the circumstances are, so no, Dot's misandry transformation is not my worries or my problem. It's simply the new fad or phrase in movies & TV. Why knock a few men & boys off their pedestals by the thousands just for some good cause, no matter how insulting or vulgar, that is okay by me. Transgenders are having their field days in the sun by knocking straight people down their paths and putting them in their places, so why not? It's all entertainment, after all, and a producer like Steven Spielberg is just showing us the ropes. Please note in other messages from me that I defend Mr. Spielberg no matter what his opinions are about life, and I'll defend him from a crab that I used to support and idolize like John K., who absolutely despises the man without any sense of substance (one story is that he's jealous of Mr. Spielberg because he makes more money than John K., but that's his problem, not mine. John K. has gone down in "Animaniacs" history as a man who hates the show without even watching an episode, so the decision I make is that John is just plain ignorant.) George Orwell is probably spinning in his grave over all of this insanity of woke behavior. As far as Hello Nurse (or Heloise Nurse, as her real name has been revealed) has been seen on the show far more often than Minerva and even appeared on a few "Animaniacs" merchandise in the stores (like the now defunct "W-B store", which was a deliberate attempt to steal ideas from the Disney Store) , so it wasn't like she was in short supply of demand from viewers or fans. I happen to be among "Animaniac's" original key members (along with "Ren & Stimpy's") who remember the first time the show came on the air on September 1993, so there's no need to tell me I don't remember anything about the show's history. There were segments I liked ("Slappy Squirrel" was one of my all time favorites), and there were bad and forgettable segments (the ones I mentioned in the above post) , so as you can see, I know my history of "Animaniacs' as well as you think you do. I suggest in the future before you choose to criticize a fan of the show like myself, that you think before you choose to insult or put down certain kinds of fans, otherwise that will make you a computer troll, and no one likes a troll. Put your money where your mouth is, or don't say nothing at all. it's that simple. Thank you for your cooperation. Oh, and as Yakko likes to say, "Please, please, please get a life" (sarc.)🙃

Dot is top teir, I remember growing up she was literally like the sibling I wish I had. When I was a young kid she was the one I identified with, she was the one who I looked at for "how should I deal with these tough social situations" because despite being the smallest, she was always smart and thought things through with her unique ways. She was one of 3 main characters, and one of the first shows where I saw a role model who could be comfortable with being cute and sweet but also not lose who you are as a person fundamentally. She is a cute an sweet person to people around her, but she also has a wonky meme tier sorta ironic sense of humor that people in the real world are afraid to show. In the old show she was super confident, her cuteness was not at all a weakness, and it wasnt the whole of her personality. It was tiny, surface level. She was unique to me and incredibly smart.

The problem with Dot is that 90’s feminism is not the same as Aught’s Feminism; there was _some_ annoyance in the former? But 90’s feminism was much more about genuine equality, and the idea that a girl could give and take on equal footing as any guy. Basically, “give us the opportunity to make our own decisions and deal with the ensuing consequences. Aught’s feminism, however, often revolves a rather mean-spirited, antagonist approach to men. And that they want to do whatever they want, and suffer no consequences for it. They have to do whatever men do, better than they can, which often means poaching male character’s positive traits. So, I’d say that Dot was a feminist icon in both eras- but I, for one, prefer the 90’s era to the -Aught’s.

The original Animaniacs is a timeless classic anyone of any background can enjoy. The reboot is an aged, dated hate message to the people the creators don't agree with and is only enjoyable to people equally as spiteful and angry.

I would love to hear more of V’s thoughts! There’s just as much passion and clarity as the rest of the crew.

Loved the video! V was really entertaining, and made SUPER valid points.. I remember being super apprehensive about the reboot initially, and what I've seen so far isn't making me anymore hopeful. Too many production companies anymore are only trying to re-capture the magic of old properties, while COMPLETELY ignoring what made them popular in the first place! And they feel as though they can get away with it, because they know they have the existing legacy of the property to fall back on.

I remember trying to watch Animaniacs 2020 but after a couple of episodes of the first season I pretty stopped cause it just wasn’t fun to watch. Also it makes so much sense now that the new show was worked on by a Family guy show runner.

Woke misogyny is real and this is it.

Thank you, for telling the truth. I'm so sick and tired of people, that probably never watched the original show, praising the reboot so much. They mostly only do that, because the current writing team panders to their modern taste. And this is the reason, why Animaniacs should never have been rebooted. The old show was about fun, passion, and entertainment. The reboot on the other hand is, like pretty much every other modern cartoon, just a tool so that people can spread out their cynical and nihilistic world view. Heck, the current writers even confirmed, that they hated the old show and that all the old characters were rubbish and lame. This is the reason the episode “Good Warner Hunting” was created because originally they wanted to kill them off for good. But… maybe, that is, what people want these days. A show that openly admits that everything you loved in the past is shit, and you are a stupid person for licking it.

I'm just gonna be blunt here. Animaniacs -2020 is ending. And that's a good thing. They She-Hulked that program. Brought in folks who cared nothing for the source material, (and some probably even hated it), forced a ton of hypocrisy into the mix, and pretty much slammed people they didn't like, without paying equal time to picking on folks from their side, which is something the original did, and did well. The result is a bunch of cheaply animated, fan-hating guff, (apart from bits of Pinky and The Brain, which in itself lost some of its traction). #justsaying.

In all personal opinion, I like the old school, cel shaded, hand drawn animation of the show.

I was always a huge fan of Animaniacs, so when the three voice actors of the Warners + pinky & the brain were at a comic con I could attend, I was ecstatic! I meet & greeted each of them and they were all very personable and I had a good quick chat with each. There was a panel one day with all of them together and they CONFIRMED the reboot was happening which the crowd obviously went nuts for. Then one of them happily revealed they would be making fun of president Trump like it was a BRAND NEW CONCEPT, despite Trump jokes being done to death by every late night host at that point.

I bet it was Rob who said that, he's made his opinions pretty clear on Twitter.

The Animaniacs reboot was just another run of the mill kids' show with nothing that stuck out or a reason to re-watch it. It might appeal to very young audiences but nothing was there for the original fans or to attract an older audience of cartoon watchers like the 90s version did. Besides being funny, the original Animaniacs was educational and sometimes even had episodes that were a bit more serious. I have no idea why they'd hire writers who didn't even like the original show and were so lacking in talent they couldn't even handle the five characters they did decide to use. I've heard the weak arguments about some of the other characters being outdated to bring bak, but Slappy the Squirrel is timeless. I don't know why they even bothered to have her come back for just at minute at the end of the third season when they weren't a good enough team to come up with new cartoons for her.

I feel that this is the fate of all remakes/reboots. Bringing in a new crew to work on it will always make it feel like fanfiction, because no matter how hard they try, they simply don't know what the original crew had in mind when creating the show, even when they bring in key people that did work on the original.

"Yes, you sound like the perfect person to write this new version of the Animaniacs, welcome aboard get to work" Exaggeration for comedic effect is typically considered "funny"

The way that Animaniacs does equality is by tearing down LITERALLY EVERYONE. Honestly a great modern episode would be going to a comic-con and instead of making fun of neckbeards and all the male nerd tropes, lets see someone make fun of all the female nerd tropes. Squellers, free hugs signs, cosplayers who have no budget/dont look like their character, etc etc. there's plenty of fun to be had, and honestly you could have it end with the warners also engaging in their interests which show them pretty equally being goofs like Dot chasing after movie stars, Yakko could coopt a whole panel and make it about himself, and wakko could run such chaos on the sales floor or maybe we just give him a modern day energy drink and nuke the whole convention as a joke about just how much crazier food has gotten in the last 40 years.

The show writers all worked on Family Guy? That explains everything.

I think one of the conceptual problems with this series, is that the original Animaniacs strategically placed itself at the limits of what was expected of a kids show. It begged questions like "how did they get that past censors?" or "what 10 year old would get that reference??" Animaniacs 2020 found itself targeting the old audience who are now adults. It now rests on the lower limits of that spectrum. It feels like an adult show that borders on being a kid's show. It's not as effective as it's not pushing a parameter.

They wanted to ignore it and just did it because Steven wanted it back. Those execs at WB were fearful of anything that wasn't #1 in their company so much so that they pushed everything else to the back. This series in itself was pretty much hidden only used for reruns for a few years for the Hub during last decade. Pinky and the Brain had their respect because people would acknowledge them due to their routine and being a great duo. As for the Warners they looked down upon them because to them they are easily forgotten and don't do anything they couldn't do in Looney Tunes. Which is only one reason.

Thank you for distilling all of my negative reactions against 2020. I bailed much quicker than you because I could smell what these people were cooking. I cannot think of a point that you missed and you stated them so clearly I don't even feel the urge to add to it, Nice work.

I always had a feeling there was something off about the 2020 show but now this video confirms it

The anime-esque and Thundercats parody designs for Yakko aren't extremely ify because the joke about the genre styles would be a little lost if they didn't make the joke about how both styles tend to make male characters, even ones meant to be teens, weirdly buff (the anime one isn't even weird tbh) HOWEVER--That 80s parody Dot is just objectively fucked. The female Thundercats characters had clothes covering their chests, and its even weirder because her anime parody design has a shirt but the 80s parody design doesn't??? I don't trust like that. Speaking of the art, its one of those "once you notice it you can't unsee it" but a lot of the new character designs clash with the old characters, mainly the new human characters. Like pause at 33:08, none of the human characters mesh with the Warners, look at how much the two types of character designs go against each other; and it makes the show a little ugly to be honest.

Im glad you pointed out the political thing because that really bothered me

The relationship between the siblings (which was one of the main selling point of the og cartoon) felt off at times to me. For example in warnergames Yakko and Dot basically say they would be better off without Wakko, when the 1993 show had a whole segment about the 2 of them begging death itself to not take Wakko away from them. How did they go from Yakko saying they are a set and a family and can't be separated, to him confessing he's always thought him and Dot would work better as a duo or Dot going from "I've missed Wakko everyday he's been gone" to "Hurray he's alive🙄"? The rest of the episode also showed the 2 of them costantly making fun of Wakko to the point where he had to defend himself. I get that they're siblings but in the reboot they seemed unnecesarily mean spirited towards each others at times, while in the og they never went further than annoying or lightly teasing each others. I don't even think it's about character developments but about the writers not fully understand the characters and their relationship

Back when it was first announced that Animaniacs was being revived, I was really excited. I really wanted to see the show tackle pop culture icons like Harry Potter and My Little Pony. IMHO, I find the idea of the Warners attending Hogwarts or whatever being pretty funny. But this... what the hell did they do to these characters, Dot especially? And why do companies keep on putting people who hate the original show or movie in charge of these reboots? Also, does the reboot not do fun celebrity parodies like the OG show did?

I had no interest in seeing this _skinsuit-wearing creature of a TV show_ when it was announced, but it's nice to hear an opinion from another fan. Things like this make me think of so many questions. 1. Who is this for? It is for 20-somethings who grew up with the 1993 show with the humour "aged up" with them? Or is it for kids of today because execs think they have no standards? Which is quite the opposite, in my experience. 2. Why do WB keep putting people in charge of their legacy properties that clearly loathe/lack an understanding of said properties?, e.g. _DC Comics, Looney Tunes_ and _Animaniacs._ 3. _"Ha ha, we're irrelevant!"_ is not a substantial joke. It was funny when _The Muppets_ did it in 2011, but that worked for the story, 'cos they're classic underdogs. The Warners... aren't. Also, the _"franchise rising from the grave"_ gag is not only over-used, but it's also a visual conjured by lazy creators trying to _nudge nudge, wink wink_ "hey, we're totally in on the gag that this is old and probably best left alone sometimes dead is better I read Pet Semetary too LOL!" Ahem... sorry. I'm going to continue ignoring all this trash. I barely even remembered this was a thing until this video came up.
