Animaniacs

Guest written by our friend Katie Callahan

Wen I was a kid, there was a show on Cartoon Network called Animaniacs. It was a show created by Stephen Speilberg and it was really good. It was a lot like Looney Tunes but the characters were all completely different. I am not sure what it was that reminded me of Looney Tunes but there was definitely some similarities. I guess since they were both Warner Brothers cartoons there's a good chance they were similar.

The Animaniacs were a group of three creatures that I don't think have ever been identified. I don't even know how to explain what they are honestly. Their names were Wakko, Yakko and Dot. Dot was the youngest sister, Yakko was the oldest and most level-headed, and Wakko was the middle child who was very crazy.

The beginning of each show started out with a really catchy tune that I could still probably sing from memory today. It was very catchy. Yakko, Wakko and Dot lived at the Warner Brothers Studios in Hollywood up in the Warner Brothers Tower. Some of the show revolved around their crazy adventures with a local mad scientist and the guards at Warner Brothers Studios. They also had a lot of side shows with different characters. You can still watch the Animaniacs on satellite TV from www.directstartv.com sometimes and I highly recommend it for your kids.
