About Animaniacs

The Warner Brothers (Wakko and Yakko) and their sister Dot were the stars of this unpredictable cartoon series of the Animaniacs Episode Guide. With no set format, Animaniacs ranged with a variety of styles and characters.

Co-produced by Amblin Entertainment and Warner, Animaniacs struck a chord with audiences and critics, and was an immediate hit on daytime TV. After an initial order of 65 episodes by Fox, series proved popular enough for the studio to invest in additional 40 episodes of Animaniacs.

One of the supporting characters, Pinky and the Brain, were even spun off into their own show from Animaniacs . A theatrical short I'm Mad and a direct to video Wakko's Wish were also released based on this Animaniacs Episode Guide.
