They are Animaniacs. They are zany to the max. So just sit back and relax and you'll laugh 'til you collapse cuz they're Animaniacs!

Animaniacs - Main Characters

Yakko, Wakko and Dot - The "Warner Brothers" (and their Warner Sister). Yakko is a smart aleck, Wakko has a bag filled with tricks, and Dot uses her cuteness to always get her way.

Dr. Otto Scratchansniff - The studio psychiatrist who is driven crazy by his fruitless attempts to calm the Warners down.

Thaddeus Plotz - The CEO of the Warner Bros. Studios cartoon enterprise.

Hello Nurse - Wacko and Yacko's love interest. The boys always shout "Hellooooo, Nurse!" and jump into her arms when they see her.

Ralph - The simple-minded Warners Studio security guard who attempts to contain Yakko, Wakko and Dot to the Warner Bros. watertower.

Pinky and the Brain - A dim-witted genetically engineered mouse and his evil genious companion. They were so loved on Animaniacs that they got their own spinoff!

Animaniacs - Fun Facts

The Animaniacs theme song won an Emmy Award for best song in the series' first season.

The Animaniacs writers didn't shy away from making fun of anyone, including their own fan club, which they referred to as the Please Please Please Get A Life Foundation in one episode.

Wakko's voice is modelled after former Beatle Ringo Starr's.

The set of Animaniacs is a mostly accurate representation of the Warner Bros. studio lot.
