I was showing my little sister some classics from 'Animaniacs' and thought I'd post some here...
'The Presidents Song'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvy0wRLD5s8

'Yakko's Universe Song'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_J5rBxeTIk&feature=related

'Wakko's 50 State Capitals'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNUDDaEOvuY&feature=related

'The Nations of the World'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDtdQ8bTvRc&feature=related

Cute, funny, educational, and cleverly done. There's really never been anything like it on television before or since. It wasn't my favorite show, but it had some absolutely brilliant segments.
Anyway, for some, hope it brings back pleasant memories. :hi:

sadly enough.

3. In a way, for me..
that fact is working. My daughter is "trying" to be TV free...

Hard to explain, but she is doing with her boy what I tried to do with her.

:P

Animaniacs did beget Pinky & The Brain. Narf.

9. My daughter has a production cell of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot
It was given to her by my best friend as a birthday present when she was 6.
That was when she decided she wanted to be an animator.

She's now 20 yrs old, and in college learning to do just that!

12. And who can forget Minerva Mink!
Face it, her two cartoons were simply about sex! :-)

14. I still remember Minerva
vividly. Though my favorites were, of course, Pinky and The Brain.

ZORT! NARF!!!

21. Great show.
And one that's interesting to watch when you're an adult so you can see all the references you missed as a kid.
