Animaniacs - Episode 1 television review

Before viewing the first episode of Hulu’s rebooted Animaniacs, I did go back and do a refresher on the original by viewing the original premiere from 1993. I hadn’t watched an episode of the 90s series in several years, but a single viewing brought by the crazed wackiness of the first Animaniacs. Perhaps because so much of the first episode is centered around the idea of a reboot, or getting various characters caught up the present, “Episode 1” didn’t have quite the level of insanity of the original. On an Animaniacs wackiness scale, this was hit maybe a 7 (out of 10). That said, there’s plenty to enjoy here with the opening Jurassic Park parody and the return of Pinky (Rob Paulsen) and the Brain (Maurice LaMarche) – my two favorite characters from the original – along with, of course, Wakko (Jess Harnell), Yakko (Paulsen), and Dot (Tress MacNeille) – all voiced by the original actors.
