 Aired: 1993 - 1998
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: US
Originally developed for FOX Kids Club, the show was bought by Warner Bros when they launched the WB. Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs! was an homage to the greats at Termite Terrace that featured the same kind of zany, madcap hilarity the old Looney Tunes started. With new characters (and a lot of old gags) the show centered around the goings on at Warner Bros studios, where three siblings were locked away in the water tower because neither they, nor their films made any sense. There were attempts at spinoffs from the show, which never really took off. This was a true gem of children's programming in the nineties, an after-school show that even parents could enjoy, as it re-introduced the absurdity of life with an updated spin. Nominated for several Annie Awards, and winner of many others, including the Peabody and Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Animated Children's program, Animaniacs is one show that reminds us just how silly it all is, and how important it is to laugh at it.
