How Animaniacs Ends The Hate For Reboots In 22 Minutes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- Animaniacs is the latest of animated reboots that people were pre-emptively excited about. Within 22 minutes, the show has stellar comedy, great animation, and an amazing Pinky and the Brain skit. While not perfect, it shows that reboots aren't automatically bad.

A little late, but y'know, bamboo tea and all.
Lol
I dont know

Nah your fine, I would finish my tea before making a video
Take ur time Alpha
The best thing about the Reboot is that it’s almost bulletproof. It’s hard to make fun of a show that is actively making fun of all thing we’d get on it about.
I wouldn't say bulletproof, every one episode I've seen of this has me wanting for the original. It seems like anforced former shell of its glorious self
self-awareness of issues does not fix them
@@blackcat2333 i agree. But to the young masses acknowledging a problem is the same as solving it
@@blackcat2333 They are also self aware of that!
@@ItsWednesdayMyDudes3 that does not help at all
Jay missed a lot of the context of this show as he never saw the original, it's very faithful including the 4th wall breaking meta stuff, that all existed in the original, and it was built with musicals in mind, so if they were missing the show would feel off..Yakkos' "Nations of the World" song has over 30 million views here on youtube for a reason.
Finger prince will always be my favorite gag.
Yeah but just having it rely the old version of itself makes it a lot less good
@@owosinpan but it DIDNT just rely on old stuff, if u watched it u can tell, it keep the original style and added modern touches, thats how u do a damn reboot, otherwise make a spinoff or a new show entirely because u will ruin it.... New She-ra, Voltron, Power Puff Girls...i could go on with reboot failures, and Voltron hurt cause it started off great
I mean, yeah, but he said that and that's exactly his point
At the start he said he wanted to experience it as a first viewer
I'm in awe of Rob Paulsen's performance as at the time he was recovering from throat cancer a really impressive feat if you ask me
my jaw dropped!! As someone who's a big fan of a lot of his work (Donnie from tmnt 2012 especially) it was surprising and awesome
I thought he sounded a little off but I thought that was just due to aging.
@@LocalTorchwoodIntern its shows great dedication to the craft
@@nuclearcatbaby1131 nope
Honestly I just think that they didn't pitch the voices as high as they did in the original series
Hmm tbh Alpha, it seems like Animaniacs might just not be for you (which is totally fine). If you don't like musicals, a show that relies heavily on musical segments, to the point where they had a concert for the original show's anniversary, might not be as fun for you. The animaniacs intro is actually one of the best cartoon intros ever imho, and its almost exactly the same as the original (same with Pinky and the Brain's theme).
Yeah it seems that he doesn’t get it and looks to far into it
Honestly, it's a bit diaheartening how harsh he is being with the show...
@@cerdgold225 because he didn’t watch the original and he doesn’t seem like a big fan of shows with a lot of music
Rip to the musical genius who did all of the Steven Spielberg Cartoon music, that Yakko song is still Epic, he did it on the FIRST TRY in studio
Actually, Steven Spielberg did not create Animaniacs, he's the executive producer. Tom Rugger was the creator of the show (who has no involvement in this reboot).
I also heard that a person who helps make Family Guy came on to write the reboot which would explain the shows new comedy
@@MaherandIbrahimsAvengers Wellesley Wilds
Shame how Rugger doesn't get enough credit. He wasn't even asked to be part of the reboot says it all.
@@mechajay3358 True
He didn't create the show but unlike most producers he's actually quite active and involved in the creative process. You can hear Rob Paulson talk about that in Double Toasted's interview.
This first episode is catering to the dads .
Im not a dad but I'm the dads
Facts, I'm a dad now and knowing the original Animaniacs as well as I do they pretty much nailed it
And mom’s
@@aubymori1333 why? its great
That’s how I felt, they needed an establishment episode to ease minds before settling into a regular show format. We know we’re getting at least two seasons so I’m taking it in stride.
Carmen sandiego and ducktales:
👁👄👁
@Mark Guerrero *spoilers*
it physically hurt me when she left
Zack and Ivy. There wasn't really a reason for it either. They're still in danger by working with ACME, and Carmen needed them when she couldn't defeat someone herself. Super odd to me
Shera as well
Ducktales is basically Gravity Falls but it's good
but... Animaniacs isn't the first recent reboot of a nostalgic cartoon that was well-recieved... Are you forgetting about duck tales? That was the first reboot that people really loved... a lot of people are even saying it is better than the original because the characters are more developed. I mean I feel like the episodes after season 2 started doing way to many crossovers and became almost fan-fictiony but they were still good.
Wdym fanfictiony
He-Man 2003?
I don't watch it but thundercats 2011 was well received
Angrynoodle Twenty Five *Finally,* someone who (kind of) agrees with me about season 3! Personally, I can't judge the actual quality of the third season because I basically dropped out around mid-season 2, but from what I understand about the post-family reunion episodes, the crossovers and such work for me roughly as often as they don't. For an example of both, it makes sense for Daisy to make her debut when she did - because she hadn't been acknowledged beforehand and they put enough of a spin on her personality that I can get by it - however, it *doesn't* make sense for Magica to suddenly be presented in her old design for no apparent reason (especially because I prefer her reboot design, which was *right there* if it was needed come on, guys!) And of course, the writers' favouritism towards Darkwing Duck became especially obvious in season 3, to the point of making a whole double-length backdoor pilot just to get a reboot of that show off the ground-which, unfortunately, worked in their favour. If you want a tl:dr, I mostly agree with your stance on season 3, with the main difference being I don't think I would like it directly because of the absurd amount of intertextuality.
I think Duck Tales had a awful reboot. Bad animation and bad voice acting.
I never made it past the first episode on RUclips. She-Ra on Netflix and ThunderCats 2011 were good reboots.
Same with Voltron on Netflix.
Old Animaniacs: has a song that’s literally just listing countries names. There are segments where Wakko performs opera entirely in belches. There are numerous segments that are a parody of Goodfellas... with birds.
New Animaniacs: does none of this
Critic: it’s not clever enough! It didn’t blow me away by having a valid point that no other show has made! And what does “it’s not your dad’s Animaniacs” even mean?
Me: it’s not that hard to figure out. The kids who were fans in the early 90s world be around 40 now. With kids of their own. And there’s only so many valid points out there about anything (and why does saying a point after someone else make it any less valid?), and this show was never edgy or topical and was mostly pop culture parodies or songs, so why would you expect more than that? It opens with a parody of Jurassic Park, a movie that’s almost 30 years old, that should have been your first clue.
While the humor and stuff might not be the same, I do have to say the animation is a TON better than it used to be! The songs were usually better in the old one too, but I’m pretty sure they got a new song writer so that might explain it.
I feel like the main problem with the reboot is that they are focusing on the world’s problems a bit too much... The older version would make tons of references to the problems of the world in small jokes, but they were always scattered around, and not the main focus of an episode, so if you didn’t care much for politics, you could still enjoy the show!
Besides all this, it was still a fairly decent reboot, and some of the episodes were pretty funny, with some really clever jokes scattered here and there. I really hope they bring back the other characters for the next season, it would be great to see Slappy, Skippy, the Goodfeathers, etc. again!
Well I’m the type of person that likes pointing and laughing at how dumb politics is getting so I don’t really see it as a problem. Though I do agree that the animations are slick
@@Everythingbagel196 I don’t have a problem with the reboot. It’s got the same humor and feel as the best from the old sketches, it let go of the not-so-great stuff that weighed it down, and I agree the animation is better. And having seen half of the new episodes so far, I can assure people that the over reliance of meta humor slows down immediately. One episode is Greek gods & myths, another is overly cute anime/my little ponies. And I won’t spoil anything, but the show knows you’re wondering what happened to Slappy, Rita, The Goodfeathers, and everyone else... you might see them sooner than you think.
@Marco Zepeda I’ll give you that and add even more on. This is a show for old “dads” but is also meant for the newer generation and I can tell you kids don’t give any shits about politics. So yea I do see your point now.
@Marco Zepeda yeah, me too.

It’s because it literally follows the same art style but with cleaner views, it doesn’t do anything fancy and doesn’t stray from the source or anything that made it cartoony and special
THIS! I hate needless stylistic changes. If there's a valid reason, fine, but 9 times outta 10, they do it to the detriment of the show's former glory.
@@aubymori1333 and? Yeah it's modern so what?
@@hellonokay1925 Obviously to make it more appealing
The New Animaniacs style is still faithful to before and they still look really good I don’t have any problems for that
@@hellonokay1925 modernization is basically just an excuse for western animation to make cheaply and horrifying looking character designs and plain backgrounds
Fun fact, this, is not a reboot, It’s a CONTINUATION
No it isn't... like, at ALL. Reboot ≠ continuation. A continuation would continue the story of the original (hence its name) and not just take place afterwards. It would explain what has happened since then, fill up plotholes, and would probably use a style identical to or nearly identical to the original like the Samurai Jack one did. A continuation of a show would also pick up where the story of the original show left off before it was cancelled.
A reboot is intended to be a new version of the show that is marketed to a new audience with no story continuity to the original version, or at the most incomplete continuity, with the Animaniacs reboot falling into the latter camp. It does take place afterwards, but it makes little effort to fill in the plotholes and in fact CREATES them, and it also doesn't explain why many things have changed. You can't really have a continuation of an old show made now if that show has little continuity to begin with or has no consistent story that lasts for the entire show, like how Samurai Jack, Teen Titans (the ORIGINAL), Avatar, Steven Universe, or the Legend of Korra do, because there's little if any story to continue from.
@@WinVisten this starts with them literally coming out of their graves and heading to the warner tower.
@@WinVisten wow jeez you took the time to type all of your nonsense for me wow so thoughtful
@@WinVisten late answer, animaniacs have no story, so the fact they just are aware of their old show, by the meta-way of being animaniacs, its a continuation
@@WinVisten r/woooooosh
The duck tales reboot made me reconsider reboots as a whole and this just made me 100%
I feel like the analysis seems a bit over analyzing, especially with the pinky and the brain part with the internet. I feel like the point of anamaniacs is to kind of just enjoy, and it’s the characters and not the plot that matters I feel, so though the first episode isn’t as rewatchable laying the foundation for the characters and what they do by just having the characters seems important, and though they could’ve done it for the plot I feel like it is comparable to watching a RUclipsr in the sense that you probably saw what the RUclipsr is doing but you want to watch them because it’s them.
He is treating the show like it’s duck tales or gravity falls when it’s just not
*Brain: The internet is the most powerful information sharing tool ever devised, and do you know what humans use the internet for the most?*
*Pinky: I do but I don't think I can say it.*
This series knows it's audience far too well.
Burn it
If it knew me then it wouldn't have been mostly Pinky and Brain
And their episodes were garbage
This show sucks
Why is the number 34 popping up in my head
@@dannyinoakpark9095 watch Gravity Falls then you'll think that show UCKS
SUCKS
I love the Animaniacs reboot and when compared to most cartoon reboots right now is that not only did Steven Spielberg returned as Executive Producer for the series, but also the original voice cast: Rob Paulsen (Yakko & Pinky), Tress MacNeille (Dot), Jess Harnell (Wakko) and Maurice LaMarche (Brain) have all come back to Reprise their roles for the reboot. I honestly can't imagine the Warner Siblings and especially Pinky and the Brain being voiced by different actors.
My ONLY main criticisms are that Tom Ruegger (the original creator) and the original crew (including Sheri Stoner) were not asked to return for the reboot and the removal of the secondary characters (e.g. The Goodfeathers, Slappy Squirrel, Rita & Runt, etc.) cause as much as I enjoy the Warner Siblings and Pinky and the Brain, the side characters are what really made the original show special and it's not the same without them, cause the whole point of Animaniacs was that it's a variety show not the Warners and Pinky & The Brain show. However, I heard that the side characters (Slappy Squirrel, The Goodfeathers, etc.) could return for Season 2 or Season 3 and become part of the main cast again if the show does well.
Brain's voice sounded so different in the clips of this video. I assumed it was a different va
Hopefully Season 2 will get better and heard rumours that they'll give the more classic characters like; Slappy, Rita And Runt, Goodfeathers, and whoever else gets another chance cause they deserve alot better then what we got!
Yeah, and maybe some new ones too
That would be really cool because Slappy Squirrel was my favorite segment on Animaniacs but I'm taking those rumors with a grain of salt.
Season 2 has been in production even before season 1 aired. It’s prob about 2/3 done now. And no, unless they pull another fast one, the other characters won’t be in season 2.

Fr? It's weird that I'm living through it's development because I've been watching the 1993 ver for the very first time. I started because of the Yakkos world video lol and I got nervous that the reboot was gonna be bad when I saw the word meme in the description of episode one. This yters harsh but from what I'm hearing from comments I'll probably really like it :)
@@Fillardmillmore It’s okay. But they don’t know how to write the Warners. Apparently season 2 is better. I’m holding them to it.

"This feels like you just took a wikipedia article and ran it through a musical generator..." That's what half of the Animaniacs songs are like, and it's funny that way. XD
fr. especially yakko's world, wakko's america and yakko's universe
I mean…it’s a somewhat educational show that aims to teach facts and keep you up to date on current culture. This episode is very Animaniacs, but the show’s sense of humor might take some getting used to because it’s so unique.
The only issue I really had with the show as a whole was most of the human characters being rather ugly. Like they all seemed to be caricatures of someone the artist didn't like, even background characters. Sharply contrasted with the round and softer designs of the original show. Though for some it worked well and it was easily the best thing I've seen on Hulu in years.
Honestly, it doesn't even feel like a reboot, it feels like they got revived from the grave!
It's more of a continuation.

Somebody that doesn't get musical says that music lyrics are lazy I'm sorry I'm going to have to ignore that.
study music theory but to say that it's lazy and dismissive at that point is really kind of a middle finger to the talent and stuff that goes with creating a flow creating information to tell a story.
Before everybody freaks out I'm not saying that you can't have a disagreement and stuff I'm just saying it's like the argument you see online with people calling all game developers lazy when in fact it does take a lot of work to even make crappy games
I'm a singer who is an avid listener of music and watches a lot of music reviewers on RUclips. I enjoy examining music critically and breaking down why a song works or doesn't work, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for the music of Animaniacs. The original series stunned me so much with how well written the songs are that I kept saying "I wish I had written that" when I heard most of the songs from the show. While most of the songs in the reboot didn't impress me as much as the songs in the original series did, the songs in the pilot were very strong. In particular, "Catch Up Song" was the moment where I said "This show is going to win Emmys," and I certainly hope that song wins an Emmy. I could tell that a lot of effort was put into writing that song. Most of the lines in the song had internal writing coupled with strict meter demands, and only a skilled lyricist could work around such strict guidelines. I also love how the song changes tempo and style throughout the song to match the tone of the lyrics. There are a lot of songs that I would describe as lazily written with poor lyricism and pedestrian melodies ("Gucci Gang" anyone?), but "lazy" is the last word I would use to describe the songs in this pilot episode.

My son is 7. He grew up watching the original Animaniacs. I'm happy with what they did with this episode and series. My son got super excited when he found out about the new Animaniacs. I was also happy they caught up with what was going on in the world and still have some kinds of jokes for the adults like older cartoons did. Just look at Rocko's Modern Life or Powerpuff Girls.
Respect your son. Definition is: Old But Gold!
Did your son have it on CD or VHS? To this day, I am also fighting for these classics to reach those born after 90.
For example, what does your son know about the console / DOS classics?
Do you keep today’s Disney ahead or the 90s?
For the "wild guesses" part, I get the impression that they were indeed _trying_ to be ridiculous and unrealistic... but you know what they say about truth being stranger than fiction...

I think you’re being too harsh in not enjoying the show for what it is (entertainment, even for people with minds) not having a political agenda or “Point” isn’t bad for stamina; it’s even kinda novel today and this is coming from someone who didn’t watch it yet.

The Buns episode was weird. What does anime have to do with gun control? I don't get it. It was too random and out of left field. The anime sequence should have been its own skit. Total missed opportunity.

This show was educational in the 90s. The first episode had the states song. I'm curious if they'll keep that up as well.

Steven Spielberg is involved, but he's not the showrunner here. The main showrunners are Wellsley Wild (Family Guy) and Gabe Swarr (Kung Fu Panda Legends Of Awesomeness). Also, Steven Spielberg never voiced his animated counterpart. In the original series, he's voiced by Frank Welker. In this series, he's voiced by Andy Milder.
What I disliked about the show as an Animaniacs fan:
1. It gets really political for the first half of the season

How Animaniacs Ended The Hate For Reboots
Ducktales: It became personal with me
My main complaint is the missing characters like Dr skull and bones and Aunt Slappy, I even missed the good feathers
If it were up to me I would make it exactly like the original. I would act like the original never ended and just do a bunch of sketches. On the other hand they are going to make more so it doesn't matter that much.
That's what Animaniacs is supposed to be!!
The reason this works where others don't is because they have Steven Spielberg come back to do it and you can tell everyone has respect for the original, whereas shows like ttg and Ghostbusters 2016 have visible contempt for the original and don't know if they want to be their own thing or rely on the past.
He didn't create the show though.
@@katium9176 maybe so, but it's still "Steven Spielberg's Animaniacs," original and reboot. He had some kind of key roll in both series, whereas reboots like ttg and Ghostbusters 2016 maybe have some [voice] actors return but mostly it's completely new people that desperately want to be different but can't because their tied to the old IP so they hold great contempt for their own creation.
I find it amazing how many people give Spielberg so much of the credit when he didn't write or direct any of the original show.
@@michaelrusso906 it's because his name is on it, Steven Spielberg presents...
Michael Jordan probably didn't have much to do with the design and manufacturing of the Air Jordans, and Dr. Dre probably didn't cobble together the first pair of Beets in his garage, but we associate their name with those products because they gave it their stamp of approval and branding.
BUT THEY DON;T HAVE RESPECT FOR IT, THE ORIGINAL WRITER DIDN;T EVEN COME BACK!!
AND THEY ELIMINATED HALF THE CAST!!
To me reboots are hit or miss some reboots can surpass the original and others are just bad
My biggest criticism of the show is that they only brought back Pinky and the Brain. I know they were the other 2 most popular and it makes sense. But I really would have loved to see Slappy squirrel outside of that one cameo.
Personally I’m sure this reboot lives up to the hype, but there is one thing that truly bugs me: The producers downplayed Dot’s cuteness in favor of a more assertive personality. The reason this bugs me is because the change implies (to me at least) that cancel culture has reached a point where suddenly it’s politically incorrect to have a cute personality. I know that’s probably not the implication, but if it was like that, it means that Webby or Miko or Lily or Baby Yoda would be universally despised as backwards stereotypes just because they’re adorable, and the people who came up with them would be slaughtered by the SJWs for the same “reason”. Once again, probably not the intended implication, but it’s still pretty irksome to me
Dot's always been cute and assertive though? At least I've always seen her that way.
I'd argue Dot has always been assertive; there's a lot of moments in the original show where a "special friend" will dismiss her for being a "simple minded girl" and then she beats them up or something like that. Dot's character was meant to subvert the trope of the one girl in the group only existing to be cute/call out the guys for acting silly whilst not having much personality themselves. She was just as wacky and funny as the boys and was more than just a cute face.
Since the 90's, it's way more common for female characters in cartoons to be actually funny, witty and more than their looks now, which is great! But now the trope that Dot was originally meant to subvert is essentially dead (or at least not as prevalent as it used to be), so what would be the point of continuing to go "wait she's cute AND has a personality?! WHHHAAAAT?!" in the reboot? Being more than just a cute face isn't special anymore. So whilst she still acts cute (The Cutening, for example), I can see why they'd choose to downplay it a little in the reboot, not because being cute is problematic or anything like that.
Jade O You pretty much hit the nail right on the head. In retrospect, I actually agree with everything you said (even though I'm well aware cuteness isn't problematic; I even said so in my original comment. Oh well, hakuna matata). It was kind of impulsive of me to say what I said, so maybe I should have really thought about it more instead of just saying something just to say it (which is like that with a lot of my comments tbh).
@@bullmonty764 I knew you knew cuteness isn't problematic, I was just trying to say that's not what the writers were trying to imply. Maybe I could have worded that better, oh well. Regardless, thanks for the reply!
Jade O No problem. And I completely understand what you were saying (plus when they have an episode literally titled "The Cutening," you can't not expect some of her cuteness to be left intact)

The original show was just as cynical, mean-spirited, and self-aware as the revival series, and had just as many musical numbers. If you didn’t care much for certain aspects of the revival, I think your feelings towards the original won’t be much different - that is if you also factor in the values dissonance given the time period it aired in.
But the difference is they took shots at BOTH sides. THIS one doesn;'t!!

@@colleen4ever Well, that’s probably because Biden wasn’t elected president yet when the 1st and 2nd season episodes were being produced. But they did pretty mean digs at Seth Meyers, and Bill Maher was also deservedly mocked.
Hello Nurse
I love the animaniacs reboot it’s really funny
The reboot season was kind of a mixed bag for me. Pinky & the Brain was, for the most part, consistently good (I had issues with the election episode). But The Warners spent a bit too much time and energy reminding us this was a reboot. Nora Rita Norita, despite having a name almost designed to be remembered easily, doesn't feel distinct enough to be memorable. She didn't appear that much, so there's nothing about the character to become engrained (for me anyway). And for some reason, that extra-pointy nose kinda bugs me.
The "Bun Control" episode was--hooboy. I didn't get the point they were driving at until around the end, and it kinda falls flat as social commentary. OK KO did a much better episode on the subject.
While they ditched the rest of the expansive cast of supporting characters, they do try a couple new additions. A gnome that lives in people's mouths that's more bizarre than anything else, and an alien that a little girl thinks is a living toy or pet. *That* has potential, but I can't say it wowed me.
All in all, I'd say that this wasn't the worst reboot I've seen (even if I included comics), but it feels like something's missing, and they're replacing it with jokes about the show originating in the 90's.
Half the cast and the original humor is missing!
22 minutes is just so amazing
This is easily the best reboot I've watched,I absolutely love this reboot,and pinky and the brain was absolutely perfect for today's days
The ONLY good thing about this was Pinky and the Brain and that's because you can;t change them!
@@colleen4ever nah
Agreed
Ducktails 2016 reads the title for this video:
Ducktails 2016: I see how it is
It’s beautiful!
WRONG!!
Samurai Jack
DuckTales helped me get over my fear of reboots
Too bad the ending of Samurai Jack sucked!
Ducktales 2017 and Animaniacs will always be best examples of reboots
You obviously have no love for the original Animaniacs!!
Actually it didn’t fix the Thomas reboot
Well that's Mattel I guess.
._.
Please do a video on Detentionaire! It’s a lot like Gravity Falls
@@crashingbasher7376 Personally, I like Detentionaire better than the other two. I just liked the mystery better, plus the characters were more relatable. It was also able to accurately portray a high school environment which I thought was cool.
What are your thoughts on Detentionaire?
Great video!
I looked past all these drawbacks because I loved how they riffed on modern culture in every episode
But it;'s too one-sided now!!! It wasn;'t before!
"Goodnight, everybody!" - Yakko Warner
I loved this show personally
When you gonna do a Q&A? Great video btw bro💯
Anyone remember the theory that Pinky is the genious and Brain is insane?
It didn't end the hatred for anything.
It's simple, instead of taking beloved and establish characters and using them to Pander and preach and create terrible stories they instead treated the Beloved and established characters with respect and dignity.
It truly isn't that difficult to make a good reboot It's not rocket science!
I'd argue it's not even a reboot but a continuation.
But this was NOT a good reboot!!!
When you eliminate half the cast and only pander to one side, it;s not a good reboot!!
You're absolutely right in retrospect after two years it's probably one of the worst reboots ever but it's nowhere near as bad as Velma...
Elections, Covid, Kobe, Australia... Parody and satire will be on fire when the 2020 updated second season version will be out.
I DEMAND BIDEN JOKES OR THIS IS NOT ANIMANIACS!!
AND THAT MAN IS A WALKING JOKE SO DO NOT SAY IT CAN;T BE DONE!!
Was Wakko (Jess Harnell) the only one out of the Warner siblings who didn’t get their own song to sing in the reboot?
so I finish watching and are you sure you're not a game reviewer because you give out all these bad points that would actually indicate it being maybe a high B at most and yet you still give it an A.
After RUclips thing doesn't work out I'm sure IGN would hire you
I also went to know your thoughts on the rest of the season. Great video a enjoyed it.
woah woah woah, it's like 5 am and now I can't stop thinking... YOU ARE A FURRY... AREN'T YOUUUU
WOAH WOAH WOAHHHHHHHHH
WOAHHHHH
WOAHHHHH

WHEN ARE THESE COLONIES GONNA RISE UP-
they managed to out meta Rick & Morty at times which got on my nerves at times which was my only complaint of the show
As someone who watched all the episodes of the reboot I will say it is not a good idea to watch all the episodes at once because the quality goes back and forth between alright to what was the point of this again because the joke is making no sense.
i got the same feeling, some episodes are just regular cartoon episodes which i enjoyed while others were super-meta-sometimes-political-but-usually-topical episode that were enjoyable in a different way.
The original, from my memory, didn't have nearly as much real world references unless it was something that would impact the majority of the audiences. From children to adults. From the reviews I've seen so far, by people I trust and having similar interest, is that this isn't the case anymore and there are many bias references in the show. And as a kid, I actually like the "Hello nurse" and Dot's reaction to it. It was a down to earth moment that was also balanced as Dot was also seen fawning over men at times with Wakko and Yakko not noticing it too much until it distracted Dot from the task. All these reboots and other classic shows getting these agenda based scripts is annoying. And it's a cartoon. Why mess with it if it's all jokes and funny skits. I understand being offended, but people are wearing their hearts on their sleeves too much and these things show it. I wont watch the remake. The creator has nothing to do with the new show and neither will I. Let comedy be what it is and let classics not be tainted by IRL problems. These are for entertainment. Not everyone will like it and some will adore it. That's ALWAYS the case. If you divide loyal fans and new wave ragers and cater to the voices and not those that partake, then it's just a shot in the foot for the companies. And in this state of the pandemic, I can't see why they are still sticking to the new when ratings and reviews aren't near what they were for the original. Just my two cents no one asked for.
THANK YOU!!! YOU ARE SO RIGHT, AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL THESE GUYS!!
I love Animaniacs (both versions) for the same reasons I love Gravity Falls. It's a series for kids and adults alike and it has cute kids humor and adult humor that goes over kids' heads. I can enjoy watching it with my younger nieces and nephews.
I'm looking forward to the tiny toons reboot
You should do a review of every episode of this show.
there's nothing wrong with this...fyi dot warner is so CUTE!!😍💘😻 PS MAKE ANIME ACTION FIGURES AS WELL AS PLUSH TOYS OF THE WARNERS IN ANIME MODE.
He would probably get copy right or smth
I don't think there is anything wrong with the reboot I never smiled so much watching a show. (other then South park, and the 1993 animaniacs) but he is entitled to his own opinion. But I will admit that I didn't like the criticism he gave animaniacs but then I tried to look in his pov. I mean he was a little harsh though
@@jharbie I WASN'T HARSH I WAS SUPER HYPER ABOUT THE REBOOT IT'S NOT A REMAKKE IT'S BETTER THAN THAT IT'S A REBOOT WITCH IS AWESOME also they should do more warner bros and dot warner in anime action mode...WITCH BY THE WAY IT'S SUPER EPIC💘😍😎🤯🌟🌠☄
@@ziltromon16 You never saw the original, did you?
Okay, that "And I'm a panda, so I know a thing or two about how pandering works" joke was pretty clever, and funny. Good job. Oh, good job on the video too, or whatever....
Lol
I just absolutely loved the jurassic park skit at the beginning of the first episode. Probably one of the best jokes in the reboot so far
I had the same general hangups with the first episode of the reboot, with one additional one. The new complaints is that the advertising may have done the first episode better than the first episode did on its own. I'd estimate about 70% of the warner siblings section of the episode was shown just in the advertising. In some instances, the advertising ruined what would have been a good joke, such as the "First lines" skit which was shown IN ITS ENTIRETY within the trailer, which made the sketch old on arrival. In others, the trailer did the joke BETTER by cutting out some of the fluff and making the joke snappier, like the information tablet sketch, which in the advertisements, dropped the shot of the info getting downloaded directly into the brain, thereby making the joke land better.
As for what i agree with about your criticism, it is the failure to overcome hypocrisy, doing a bad job of introducing the show to the new viewers (though there is enough context to figure it out, and the general void of worthwhile content in the warner siblings section of the episode which lamp shading did nothing to solve.
On the other hand, i do not agree with some of the criticism. The 2 main instances are the "dont think about it" logic behind the pinky and the brain sketch, and the prediction of how the world would go to sh**. The easier one to explain is the predictions. When the show goes out of its way to explain preproduction of the show was in 2018, it becomes a lot easier to accept the extremes they go to. Yes, pessimism always exists with people saying "next year will be even worse", but very few comments in the category go as far to predict how much evil is ahead of us, leaving the extremes that Animaniacs go to acting as satire of such mindsets. Then the joke gets an extra, originally unintended level of humor from the irony of current world affairs being so unpredictably bad.
Next, the "dont think about it" logic, which makes me think you misunderstood the plan. Brain's plan wasnt to get on the show Pinky was watching 20 years ago, but to create a vehicle that would make it easier to use such fascination against the world he is aiming to control. The implication is that in the Animaniacs universe, Brain was the sole creator or a main contributor to the creation of both the internet and the devices to use it, which means step 1 was successful. Step 2 was where the problems occurred. Brain needed to create something special enough to get those first few views. Even with the eventual downfall of Pink's mistake, the message is clear, and the interpretation that is compliant with the setup of the sketch is that Brain's tech was used against him, while also critiquing the nature of viral fame as a whole.
I liked that really quick inclusion of the "yee yee ass haircut" meme.
"How Animaniacs Ends The Hate For Reboots In 22 Minutes"
Pretty much all 3 seasons of the Ducktales reboot: "Am I a joke to you?"
Big brain
9:12 wait, you mean you’re NOT a panda?
Animaniacs reboot: *exists*
Everyone: Animaniacs is awesome! This is the reboot we needed. We need more reboots of classic shows.
Ren and Stimpy reboot: *exists*
Everyone: OH MY GOSH!! THIS DOESN'T NEED TO EXIST! I AM SO SICK OF REBOOTS!! MAKE SOMETHING ORIGINAL FOR ONCE!!!!
That's really damn accurate. Can't believe Robin Byrd actually got away for the R&S Comdey Central Reboot to canned despite the fact it's still in production confirmed by Billy West Himself. And Fuck Byrd, I'm glad Katie Rice is not like Robin and the only good that Robin have done is expose John.K for being a child predator. I'm giving the second reboot a chance and John.K was 100% not involve with the reboot at all.
And yeah, I like to see more originals of animation. And as for the reboots, I have to wait to see if they good or nah.
I feel #2 for BOTH OF THEM!
I think Warner Bros. should also get released for TV via Cartoon Network. That would get people to put their hatred on CN Reboots behind and see themselves enjoying the Animaniacs reboot on Cartoon Network.
In fact, why not do both Hulu and Cartoon Network? Oh, the first season of the reboot is going on DVD tomorrow.
0:15 here we have the animaniacs in the wild throwing pies at each other and running in the wind

Animaniacs was my favorite as a kid. Nice to see it come back.
24:45 “we know we’re selling out, so it’s cool.”
In the wise words of Lex Luther...
*WRONG*
Wacko's ears are longer than they were in the original show
I'm just amazed that they managed to make the animation look smooth and clean with flat, sharp, very conspicuous vector lines, usually that doesn't.. *happen.*
