Reviews
Brain Noir
Although I'm not a big Pinky and the Brain fan, I can honestly say that I absolutely enjoyed this episode!
As well as cleverly twisting with the standard gumshoe plot, we also get a chance to hear Tress MacNeille (Dot, Animaniacs and Billie, Pinky and the Brain) showing her voice talents at their best as Billie, switching between a stereotypical "broad" voice and Billie's shrill voice.
Out of all the Pinky and the Brain episodes I've seen, I can honestly say that this is my favourite! A big well done to all involved!
