This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This new animaniacs seemed like it would be fun but that's how cheap reboots work. This reboot is like all others playing nostalgia in order to cover the lack of much else substantial. Some of the jokes are decent but about half of them are about them being a bad reboot. Just cause you make jokes about a problem with the show doesn't make it better. All the jokes are way too safe. The old show took risks and was much better than this garbage.… Expand

As a fan of the original Animaniacs who was born around the time it was ending, even I was able to enjoy the jokes and gags in the original. Coming in to a reboot, you would expect at least some similar quality comedy, but no. Animaniacs (2020) is basically two heavy-handed, politically charged, unfunny Warner Bros. segments surrounding one Pinky & The Brain segment, which is usually pretty good and the only reason my score is giving points at all. The jokes in 2/3 of the show land on their ankles. The soundtrack is so forgettable that I can't even conjure any of the themes in my head while writing this. The theme song has been tweaked in small ways, be it lyrics or animations, that detract from any feeling that this show isn't a shill (trolls WOULD say that you're passé, Animaniacs, except that the originals are still very much timeless.) The animation is very sterilized compared to the original seasons, and it altogether just feels... Muted. Almost all the jokes are just appeals to what the writers think millennials may like, at the cost of SO many of the ideas and bits of zany humor that made the originals classics.

I was so excited to see them come back. Now I wish it never happened.… Expand

Loved this show growing up and my kids also love the old show from the 90's. This reboot is terrible and ruins the show!! Keep the politically correct jargon out of the show and stick with what actually works. The humor was forced andLoved this show growing up and my kids also love the old show from the 90's. This reboot is terrible and ruins the show!! Keep the politically correct jargon out of the show and stick with what actually works. The humor was forced and geared towards a liberal audience. With politics being so charged in today's world, it's a good idea to avoid it. Plus, there are a lot of Trump supporters who wouldn't appreciate him being portrayed as he is in the show. If you're going to include politics at least be equal with how their portrayed. Don't portray one side as a hero and the other as a total idiot. What a major let down this show was for me! I won't be watching anymore past the first 2 episodes.… Expand
