    Joyful. Animaniacs may not match other animated shows’ high-brow humor or enthralling stories, but it’s able to contain so much unadulterated fun that the other things I may be looking for don’t seem to matter. Hulu’s new season isn’t a reimagining of the original; it’s a continuation. And in the 22 years since they left the airwaves, the Warner Siblings haven’t missed a beat.

    If there’s anything we need right now is something reliable to make us laugh. And Animaniacs fills that bill, just about as well as it did in the go-go ’90s.

    This reboot of the Animaniacs is still a ton of fun. While it stumbles at times and doesn’t quite capture the magic of the original, there is enough wit to remind fans of the heyday of Saturday morning cartoons.

    Same feel as the old show, just as I remembered it. It's not only nostalgia, the new show is solid, witty and as hilarious as we knew it. MySame feel as the old show, just as I remembered it. It's not only nostalgia, the new show is solid, witty and as hilarious as we knew it. My fear it will be shallow due to political correctness, the cancer of our times, was misplaced. It has enough to keep me laughing multiple times. Thanks for bringing it back. 2020 isn't that bad after all… Full Review »
