Pink and the Brain Christmas

One of my favourite episodes :)

[@wilhelmcooning]

I remember reading somewhere that the only reason this show works so well is because Pinky and the Brain deeply care about each other. I can definitely see why.

Pinky is one of the most selfless characters in any cartoon. Normally a cartoon character is motivated by greed or a desire to own something (like Baloo and his plane in Talespin), but they still have friendship. Pinky however is wholely motivated by his desire for his friend to get what he wants most in the world. Sure, he's a bit dim, but he will always drop what he's doing to help Brain succeed, even if he messes things up in the end. If only we all had a friend like that.

Fun fact: The emotion is real! Maurice LaMarche actually broke down while recording this!

And they both ACTUALLY CRIED during this scene! ❤️❤️

The brains heart grew two sizes that day... XD

While this isn't the first time it's shown how much Pinky and Brain care about each other, I feel like this was the best showing. It's just amazing, and the feels are so real in this scene~

Pinky is such a sweetheart!

Even diabolical mouse geniuses like The Brain have soft, tender feelings deep down inside.

I always come back to this clip for a tear or two. You know he's moved when he's reading the letter but when he reaches that PS part he just tips over. Tears well up, looks up, then looks back down at those words that Pinky wrote. It's even more moving because he's such a small guy wanting something so big for his best friend >_< You never get anything and your best friend wants to get you the biggest thing and the thing you want most.

Awwww, poor sweet Pinky!

“P.S. By any chance do you have in that big ol’ bag of yours, the world?”

[@amyrose94113]

Pinky is so adorable 😭❤️

Once I learnt Maurice LaMarche and Rob Paulsen actually were in tears through recording this scene, I was amazed at how much depth that really adds. You can absolutely hear it which is what makes such a touching scene even more so. I'm 25 and still cry watching this.

[@ZakWolf]

What I remember the most about this scene as a kid was seeing The Brain actually cry.
