            It’s about time that some of our favorite 90’s cartoons are getting reboots! With the reboot of DuckTales just around the corner (yes I know it was late 80’s but it ended in the 90’s), it seems legendary director, Steven Spielberg will hop back into his old territory with a rebooted version of the classic animated series, Animaniacs, per Indiewire.

            The original series ran for 99 episodes from 1993-1998 on Fox Kids and then Kids’ WB. It also led to the spinoff series, Pinky and the Brain that aired on The WB. The cartoon had various segments that tied together all Warner Bros. characters as the main characters, Yakko, Wakko and Dot were trapped on a Warner Bros. lot water tower since the 1930s until their escape.

            The show was genuinely one of my favorite cartoons of all-time and was great for children but also had sophisticated humor for adults as well. It also had plenty of original music and songs, plus one of the most famous theme songs of any television show ever. Animaniacs won 8 Daytime Emmy Awards and a Peabody award during its run.

            I’m obviously amped for the potential return of Animaniacs and I’m happy that Spielberg is returning as a producer. What do you guys think? Do you want to see Animaniacs return to television? Let us know in the comments!
