Who'd Like To See "Animaniacs?" (1 Viewer)

[Morgan Jolley]

I would love The Critic, Animaniacs, and Freakazoid on DVD.

 

[Dan Shogren]

I think we should orginize a campain to get all the great WB toons on dvd. (especially freakazoid. "Wanna see a bear riding a motorcycle? ........."WOULD I!?")

 

[Kevin Porter]

I would love to see "Animaniacs" on DVD. It's never even on anymore and DVD woudl be a great way to preserve it.

 

[Jesse Blacklow]

"Helloooooooooo Nurse!"
Oh, yeah, I'd be all over a set like this. Actually, there are two Animaniacs shorts I know are on DVD, because I've got 'em. They're the videos for "Istanbul" and "Particle Man" on the They Might Be Giants' Direct From Brooklyn disc. $10 at www.DeepDiscountDVD.com! Why wait?

Good Idea Bad Idea

Oh My GOD! I totally forgot about that! That was the BEST!
Good Idea: Feeding pigeons in the park
Bad Idea: Feeding pigeons in the park...to bears

 

[John Mansor]

Any fans of Taz Mania? That is another WB afternoon cartoon I would love to get my hands on.

 

[Eugene Esterly]

I definetly want to see Animaniacs on DVD in season format only. I love all of Animaniacs but, IMO, Mindy & Buttons are the best part of the episodes.

While I'm on the subject, I would also love to see these Warner animated TV shows on DVD in season format such as:

Freakazoid!
Pinky and the Brain
Taz-Mania
Tiny Toon Adventures
What's New Scooby-Doo?

And since Warner also owns the Hanna-Barbera library, they should also release the HB library on DVD in season format.

After Batman and Superman, Taz-Mania is the WB series I'd like to see most on DVD blah, blah, blah... Yackity Shmackity.

 

[Jesse Blacklow]

Wasn't that the Tiny Toons on Istanbul (Not Constantinople)?

*checks, realizes age has clouded memory*

D'oh!

 

[Joshua Clinard]

Season sets of Animaniacs would be awesome. But I think they should also release special collections, like one with all the educational ones. The Nations of the World, The Capitols, etc.

 

[Mike Farley]

Does someone at Warner Bros. have something against these shows? As fas as I can determine they're not even on TV anymore. Not even on the Warner owned Cartoon Network which would seem to be an ideal home for them.

 

[Michael.Hoffman]

I would like to see Animaniacs released too as my wife is a big fan. My all time favorite would be to see Freakazoid released. I tried taping both shows, but they seem to come on at varied times and it isn't worth the hassle of having to change the timer all the time just to watch them.

Since the first season of Animaniacs was 65 episodes

Are you sure? There are only 52 weeks in a year, and in most cases, an animated show is lucky to get one new episode during each Saturday of the school year. Monday through Friday afternoons are placeholders for reruns.

If the season was that long, they could still put out "Season 1 (1/2)" and "Season 1 (2/2)" boxes.

 

[Jeff Jacobson]

I'd love to see the Animaniacs on DVD. None of those awful 'best-of' sets, but in Volume sets (like G.I. Joe or Transformers)

But unlike Transformers, they should just use the original soundtracks and not add in additional sound effects.

 

[PienSavaca]

As fas as I can determine they're not even on TV anymore.

They were airing 5-6 am on Nickelodeon (with the WB logo sloppily covered with a orange Nickelodeon splotch during the credits)... now Anim /PatB air 10-11 pm and 1-2am on nickTOONS (digital cable)

[Jeff Kleist]

re you sure? There are only 52 weeks in a year

Standard order for 5 days a week cartoon is 65 eps for the first year. Then it's usually 12-13 eps for the second, dwindling after that

 

[Sean Campbell]

YES! ( as Brain might say )
I'd certainly love to get my hands on an Animaniacs box set. A Tiny Toons set would be excellent too ( Tiny Toons had better characters IMO but Animaniacs had better scripts ). And I want the entire run of Pinky and the Brain too - even the Elmyra episodes. Three of the finest animated shows ever made IMO.
Incidently, I recently attended the Anthrocon convention in Philadelpia where myself and a group of friends had a mini Tiny Toons/Animaniacs convention. We watched a few eps on a big projection screen

 

[Thomas Newton]

Remember the episode with "Meglomaniacs Anonymous"?
There were "clients" like Al (who had gone from claiming "I'm in charge here!" to running a small floral shop just outside the Beltway), and a "reformed" dictator who liked to play tennis with live hand grenades. Great stuff.
Then there was the episode with the Brain trying to figure out the source of Sampson's strength, and how to take it for himself. Pretty hard not to crack up when you hear the Brain saying "Soon, Pinky, I shall have all the power of the jawbone of an ass!" as though that's a GOOD thing!

The two episodes I remember

1. A parody of Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals- they invade a theater where "Mr Webby" is rehearsing his new musicals and parody several songs. They then do a version of "Do-Re-Mi", but make it about money. Which leaves "Mr. Webby" shouting "I didn't write that one!" (Do Re Mi is by Rogers and Hammerstein)

2. The Animaniacs meet Beethoven, who tells them he is a "famous pianist." They tell him to watch the potty mouth.

 

[MarkHastings]

They tell him to watch the potty mouth.

LOL
or the planet song where Yakko sings about all of the planets (except for Unranus)
Wakko: "You forgot Uranus!"
Yakko: "Goodnight everyone!"
