Making of Animaniacs: Voices

A look into the making of Animaniacs with a focus on the voice actors,

[@EchoesDistant]

Just look at the smiles on Jess' and Tress' faces when Rob starts singing Yakko's World.

[@tornadoe13]

My mission in life is to shake each of them by the hand and thank them for contributing to a wonderful childhood.

[@FelicianoCookie]

+tornadoe13 I was attending the same convention as them once and one of my biggest regrets was that I did not take the time to do just that. [takes mallet to own head]

[@TheLastHylianTitan]

+ScarletRavenwing you could always send a gift basket.

[@andrewbaker9797]

tornadoe13 if you ever get to shake their hands, make sure you say "how do you do?"

[@alyteima4185]

I did just that and it’s wonderful. I thought I’d missed my chance in salt lake in 2015 but I saw them in Chicago this year. They are the nicest people ever

[@NickiDee007]

I want to call Rob and Jess sometime because I watched Christina Burggraff’s video. I just learned how to do a Pinky impression today.

[@kayleighbaker7802]

0:58 When Jess calls Rob "big brother" using Wakko's voice... oh my heart. I immediately see them as the Warners. I love these guys. I especially love Rob and his voice, such a talent!

Slappy was another character that had great potential for her own show. She has a lot of stories from her early days of show biz. I'd to know how her deer friend ended up dating George Jetson.

[@chinobandetto6297]

Warner Bros needs to make their own tv channel and put up all the original cartoons.

[@bencemeitert5146]

But once it is NOT feasible! Especially if you look at this sea of ​​shit that they vomit 0-24. No major classic / icon among them is just rubbish.

[@bencemeitert5146]

It could be done, only then shouldn’t this many naughty ox slender double zero financiers be employed. and run until they burst. Especially not at WB which is famous for quality entertainment. Also in the field of cartoons. And there in full measure.

[@bencemeitert5146]

And once again highlighting "QUALITY AND NON-SMALL ENTERTAINMENT. Leaving aside this phrase has been dead since at least 2010. Or the fact that we're there, and the sad truth that they can't just watch channels with a retro portfolio as a nostalgia product / to be shown where they would be.

[@bencemeitert5146]

The only refuge would be streaming services, where more vintage / 80s / 90s products would fit. There may be quite a few shows on the show again [I'm talking about the original [s]] There was the channel with the slogan that "The place of original slogan. They also renovated it so "beautifully" and unscrupulously, and ruined that little retro collector TV/Streaming. [Who may not have dropped a little background information: it started in 2000 and B was its first letter and ERANG was its last 5] It also started out as a channel specializing in nostalgia, yet it drowned in its own shit.

[@vidhead85]

World Song and States Capitals from Yakko were awesome My favorite one from Dot was Dot The Macadamia Nut Slappy! I loved her and Skippy!

[@FNLynks]

+vidhead85 Yakko sang the Nations, Wakko sang the states

[@NickiDee007]

My friend absolutely loved Macadamia Nut. I was a huge fan of the show, loved Yakko and Wakko, and I sang literally the 50 States and Macadamia Nut to her. That last year nostalgia...

[@dannythomas417]

I never knew Maurice’s real voice sounded like that. God, I’ve watched so much Futurama.

[@danielfennessey]

Given I first heard his voice as Egon in the real Ghostbusters, I thought his voice was more like that.

[@dannythomas417]

@Dan Fannessey My first is Calculon.

[@googlyowo]

They simply MUST make a reboot of Animaniacs. But absolutely NOTHING like the power puff girls reboot. I want NONE o' that shit.

[@googlyowo]

Nadia XD I know, and it sucks. I did manage to find it on KZbin, but the voices were changed for copyright reasons.

[@adoknightofficial832]

No they might remake it into an sjw fest

[@oldoffy4408]

No, they need to archive it so that never happens. All this "rebooting" needs to stuff. Make new modern for the modern audience.

[@veldraws6444]

Good news, it's happening

[@oldoffy4408]

They're only doing that to get people on the Streaming Express. Netflix has Magic School Bus and it sucks from what I've been read. It's very sad how they are ruining original series and movies by making shitty reboots.

[@joanieshamburger1837]

You know I had NEVER EVER watched a FULL episode of Animaniacs. I've seen clips, some of the wacky stuff they sing, and the dirty jo- uh, I mean..... (Blows a kiss) Good night everybody.

I actually really relate to Maurice, because I also have an embarrassingly loud laugh and my friends also love to call me out on it 😅

[@phlpcockrell]

If they brought it back it would be so different nobody would like it. For starters it was extremely expensive. 2 1/2 - 3 times the cel count of other animated shows. Even moreso nowadays, as most cartoons are flash, or on computers, so itd probably be done in falsh. Also Steven Spielberg probably wouldn't be involved, ALSO WB animation studios pretty much only does DC now. Plus the spirit of Animaniacs would be gone. It's very dated. Don't get me wrong, I love the show, binge watched the day it came out on netflix, and it's extremely set in the 90s. A 2018 Animaniacs, for example... I can't even imagine... best to just let Animaniacs stay dead having left a beautiful corpse than reanimate it with nostalgia like Powerpuff girls.

[@Gameplayer-vm5ml]

Philip Cockrell Guess what, a reboot is coming in 2020 on Hulu with 2 confirmed seasons. It was confirmed May, 2017 and that it'll be on Hulu in 2020 on January 2018. Steven Spielberg is involved and back again too.

[@1appletree]

This comment didn't age well :)

[@phlpcockrell]

@@1appletree i honestly stand by it. Looking at the reboot.. im not looking forward to it. It is done in flash, and it looks awful. All the characters are gone (as far as we know so far) except pinky and the brain.. though I was wrong about everything else... I do wish they'd have just left animaniacs alone.
