The plot: An updated version of the 1990s animated series featuring a trio of wacky characters causing mayhem on the Warner Bros. studio lot.
I was interested to go through a Nostalgia trip.
This new animaniacs series was faithful to the original.
Pros: The production team did extraordinary job of updating & approvied the show for a new generation, they kept the theme song the same, its slapstick gags and sketches got a lot funniest as the series went on & I like every segment involved in pinky and the brain.
Cons: There’s not a lot of the other characters of the original series didn’t appear or any line of dialogue, some jokes do full flat at times & each episode can be skiable at times.
