![]() ![]() They wreaked havoc throughout time and space, running afoul of everyone from Michaelangelo to Beethoven and Albert Einstein. ![]() The Warners were figures of pure chaos in the vein of the Marx Brothers, with Yakko the verbally relentless Groucho figure, Wakko as a prop-wielding Harpo (who happened to talk like Ringo Starr), and Dot as a girl who had learned to weaponize her own cuteness. That “new stuff” became Animaniacs, which didn’t feature a single vintage Looney Tunes regular, but was gloriously true to the anarchic spirit of “Duck Amuck” and “What’s Opera, Doc?” Following boss Steven Spielberg’s mandate for the series to offer “a marquee name,” Ruegger took inspiration from the name of their studio itself, and dreamed up the Warner brothers, a pair of vaguely puppy-ish creatures named Yakko and Wakko, plus their sister Dot. “We’ve had it up to here with Tiny Toons,” Ruegger says he replied. The animation vet had created the Tiny Toons - kids inspired by the original Looney Tunes characters, now learning comedy from Bugs Bunny and friends - but was already burnt out on them when he was asked if he could build a new show around Plucky Duck or one of Babs and Buster Bunny’s other classmates. The audio was produced by Mike Katzif and edited by Jessica Reedy.Tom Ruegger wanted no part of a Tiny Toon Adventures spin-off.

Led by the fictional siblings Yakko, Wakko and Dot, the super-meta cartoon featured slapstick humor and cultural references that appealed to both kids and adults alike. Animation/Huluīecause everything in Hollywood must be revived these days, the Animaniacs are back after being locked in that Warner studio water tower for more than 20 years. After 22 years off the air and locked in the Warner water tower, Dot, Yakko and Wakko, return for more wild antics and meta references!Ĭourtesy Amblin Television/Warner Bros. ![]()
