Dervell Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Amblin Television and Warner Bros. Animation are kicking around a brand new version of the hit 1990s cartoon, IndieWire has learned. The potential reboot comes as “Animaniacs” has experienced a new surge in popularity since arriving on Netflix last year. Steven Spielberg, who developed the original as a follow-up to the success of his “Tiny Toon Adventures,” is expected to be on board in crafting the updated version. There’s no home yet for “Animaniacs,” and insiders caution that it’s still in the early stages of development. “Animaniacs” ran for 99 episodes – from 1993 to 1995 on Fox Kids, before moving to Kids’ WB from 1995 to 1998. It also spawned the primetime spinoff “Pinky and the Brain,” which aired on The WB. The cartoon consisted of various segments (including “Pinky and the Brain”), all tied together by the Warner siblings – Yakko, Wakoo and Dot, who were said to have been trapped in the Warner Bros. lot watertower since the 1930s until their escape. Tom Ruegger, who oversaw the show’s creation, was inspired by his own three children in developing the characters. “Animaniacs” was popular with kids, but young adults also gravitated to its sophisticated humor and references. http://www.indiewire.com/2017/05/animaniacs-reboot-steven-spielberg-amblin-1201817336/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZaWarudoZ Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hopefully it's good. Liked Animaniacs as a kid, now as an adult I loved revisiting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
