Warner Bros Studio Stores Animaniacs and Pinky and The Brain Bean Plushes and Their Stories
Animaniacs is a cartoon series produced by Amblin Entertainment and Warner Bros. First aired in 1993 to 1995 and later in 1995-1998. Set up as a variety show, with truly no strict format it was set up in a series of three short mini-episodes, respectively each episode had a completely dissimilar array of character and bridging, connecting segments.
The Warner Bros kids were three cartoon star from the 1930’s locked away in Warner Bros Water tower until in the 1990’s they escaped. As the socialized, they ran into different Warner Bros Studio workers.
Now here's where Pinky and the Brain enter. Two very genetically altered laboratory mice who have a nefarious vocation and quest-to devise the perfect plot to take over the world. And sadly just never seems to succeed but that does not impede their vigor to continue the quest to control the world.
As an aside, Pinky and the Brain came about from the creator of Animaniacs, who had fashioned them after two of his Tiny Toon Adventures colleagues, when he wondered what would happen if these two took over the world.
The major characters in Animaniacs are two brothers and their sister who escaped from the Warner Bros Studio Water Tower:
Yakko a smart aleck with a fast firing sarcastic mouth and is considered the leader of this trio pack. Yakko is utterly girl crazy. His attire is tan pants with a black belt. For the adults Yakko has a quaint saying “Goodnight Everybody!” usually after a joke, only an adult would comprehend or catch.
Now Wakko, has a Liverpool accent thick and very British. Eating unendingly and his precious “gag bag” chockfull of tricks. Seemingly the dim bulb of the trio, Yakko attributes this to the “middle kid syndrome”. Wakko favors wearing a red baseball cap backward and a light blue turtleneck.
And their sister Dot, sassy and a cutie is much more mellow than her brothers, nonetheless proves on various instances that she to can be just as nonsensical as her brothers Dot’s attire is a pink skirt with a flower in her ears.
As an aside Dots name is Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca III.
Pinky and the Brain live in a cage, which Pinky uses his tail to pick its lock.in Acme Labs, under a suspension bridge in an unnamed American city; both are genetically enhanced. The character who plotted to rule the world in Animaniacs, and because they captured a following they had a series of 65 episodes.
Brain is an egocentric who sounds like Orson Wells (kinda looks like him)and always scheming whereas Pinky is a rather nice mouse but sadly quite feebleminded, not without some brain power his being hyperactive and heavily unstable tend to squash his thinking powers. The basic plot in each escapade is Brain feverishly plots and contrives to take over the world with almost without exception into a fiasco that never ever works. This due in the most part to Pinkys imbecility, the convoluted plan of the Brain, Arrogance that oozes from the Brain being a sorry anchor and just circumstances and in most case each episode is a parody of a film or novel.
Their trademark little snips of dialog were THE Brain ‘Are you pondering what I’m pondering?”. And Pinky’s response to a plan “Oh…..wait, no” with the final question “What are we doing tomorrow night?”
Had no idea some of these guys existed. Must have been before my time. Thanks for the wonderful info.
