Probably. I mean, the original was stuffed to the brim with adult jokes. How are they gonna slip that under the radar will be a show in itself.

By having Yakko pop up and say "Goodnight everybody!" (which is what they did because they were certain the joke just told was going to get them thrown off the air).

I wonder if they can capture that awesome unusual quality that the original had!

Post by: Pinkie21 on May 31, 2017, 11:03:40 AM: I'm excited, but very nervous. I have a feeling they're going to censor it to death. The fun of Animaniacs was its off-the-wall humor and jokes that adults could get. But who knows, maybe it'll be just like before. Frankly, as long as they use the same voice cast, don't use CGI (CGI *will* ruin the beauty of how these characters can move and express emotions), and don't censor it to death, maybe it'll be fun!

Post by: Carrehz on May 31, 2017, 07:09:52 PM: Oh man oh man oh man, I am so.. I don't know how to feel! I LOVE Animaniacs but I'm not sure how I feel about a reboot.. as long as they keep all the same crew (and don't make it CGI or drastically redesign the characters, please, no. For one, making them CGI would completely wreck the point of making the Warners look like 30s/40s rubberhouse inkblot characters, haha) then I'm cautiously optimistic, I guess?

I do hope it isn't too censored, though. One of the best things about Animaniacs was its razor-sharp wit, particularly when it came to the more risque jokes (I still can't believe some of the stuff they got away with).

I just, wow, I really didn't see this one coming. I dislike reboots in general (just make new stuff, leave the old stuff alone!), but.. it's Animaniacs, man! I can't ignore it, haha.
