Way too many bland song parodies and not enough finger Prince jokes
Yes, they did, also Looney Tunes did it all the time.
The songs were excellent, Richard Stone is the Koji Kondo of the west for a reason.
That has never been the case.
the reboot also lacked in fingering Prince
I find something far more endearing when old animation showed actors and musicians. When Animaniacs does it, it just feels "heh yeah man we can break the 4th wall too -forced smile- we're just like The Simpsons and Looney Tunes dude cowabunga"
celebrities were being parodied since Looney Tunes, I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with this unless you're doing it poorly (ex. Modern Simpsons with pretty much any recent celebrity)
It was a fake cartoon which started the trend of seeing animation as a power fantasy of being a big shot in Hollywood on the basis of bad scripts
"It's all just parodies"
No, Animaniacs fans tend to be the type of person who want to go around being buttholes to people in real life. They identify with that behavior
No
>Insert your inane response here
That's stupid
I think nobody really liked the Animaniacs. It was just... there.
Contrarian zoomer, the show was hugely popular when it released and spawned the critically acclaimed Pinky and the Brain.
It might not have had the same playground discussion potential of Spongebob or Danny Phantom but I know people watched it and enjoyed it.
It's great, shut your fat mouth.
You're too young to remember
It was pretty damn popular on Fox Kids when it first came out. Not as popular as X-Men (Spider-Man came out about a year after Animaniacs did) and definitely not as popular as Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but it seemed to be Fox Kids' third most popular series
Not even Fox Kids, Fox as a whole and Simpsons did better then X-Men and Power Rangers.
>as no american never liked
It was more popular in America than any other location. It was a huge failure in Japan for instance, despite being animated there.
what do you expect, 90% of the jokes are "lol (american) cultural reference" or bad puns
I feel like comics have the same issue. At least in the past. The manga and Franco-Belgian comics I read were always something for everybody, so people from the whole world were reading them. There are of course exceptions that are very Japanese or very French, but most series have none of such identity, look at Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon or basically almost every popular and unpopular manga. But US comics are always so inherently american up to even involving the president, US actors and current US topics that they are unapproachable if you aren't from the US. Which is probably why nobody but America is buying American comics.
Pinky and the Brain was the better cartoon/segment. Yeah it had references to politicians and celebrities, but it didn't subtract from the world domination plots. Even in the reboot of Animaniacs, which was a real hit-or-miss show, the pinky and the brain segments were better than anything they could make the warners sibs react to.
They are more well known than Animaniacs itself outside America. Most foreigners didn't even know it was a spinoff.
I always hate it, at least the celebrity part. I knew the politicians that appeared in the Simpsons or South Park but I don't think I ever knew a single celebrity from these series besides the Beatles. Never cared about actors and the likes, cannot name more than 7, maybe 10-15 if I can name dead ones like Vincent Price.
