Animaniacs on DVD : July 25th!
 

• The adventures or misadventures of the Warner Brothers, Yakko and Wakko and the Warner Sister, Dot, who were so crazy that the studio execs locked them away in the water town at the studio. The witty slapstick humor with pop culture parodies and cartoon wackiness is on DVD for the first time ever with 25 episodes.

We had the scoop four months ago that Animaniacs - Volume 1 would hit the streets on July 25th. And the set is even more impressive than we thought at the time! It's a 5-DVD compilation of 25 episodes...750 minutes of Yakko, Wakko and Dot for $44.98 SRP. Video is full-screen, as originally shown. Audio is English, with subtitles in English, French and Spanish.

At the top left of this story is a thumbnail-sized imagewhich came along with the information from Warner about this release. Below is a different image. Not sure which one will be the final cover art.

How exciting! I'm stoked!
My child knows his planets, countries, and presidents thanks to Animaniacs songs!

he hasnt mastered the ingredients song though.

OMG! This is the best news ever! I still know the song by heart. :blush:

My one concern is the song "Be Careful What You Eat". The original lyrics at the end were altered after the show switched networks.

The original lyrics were:

We like sweet allot
So give us all you've got
And we'll shove them in our bodies
Til they make our insides rot

The alternate lyrics (which I believe were also on a CD release) are:

We like sweets allot
But they make your insides
So please take care of your body
Cause it's the only one you've got


I hope this DVD release has the original lyrics.

Zapp, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

OMG. It's going to be hard to resist this. Is 25 episodes a full season? Something tells me it's not, and that means there will be a lot of sets to buy.

At the very least I'll Netflix 'em for old time's sake.

One of GD's first gifts to me was a Wakko doll. :)

I think so Pod, but where are we gonna find chaps our size ?

I think so, mp, but burlap chafes me so.

I think so, 'pod, but me and Pippi Longstocking, I mean, what would the children look like?

... Hello-oooooooooo Nurse!

... Why? Why? Why? OK, Lady. I love you, bye-bye!

... (scream) It's a giant chicken!

Wow! What great news! As long as these DVDs also contain some of the other 'toons, like Good Feathers, Chicken Boo, Buttons and Mindy, and Slappy Squirrel, it will be a great collection. Thanks for the info, zapppop. Narf!

{Dr. Scratchandsniff}: Now Dot, I want you to make a curtsey.

{Dot}: Thanks, but I already did before I left home.

Tee-hee. Curtsey laugh.

Very Arch Bishop: King Yakko, your throne.
Wakko: The throne? How do you lift the lid?
Dot: Since when do *you* lift the lid?

He asks allot of questions to find out what we think
He's Dr. Scratchandsniff, the studio shrink
He says "How do you feel" ?
We say " With our hands" !
"How do you stay together" ?
We use rubber bands!
" I want to know your psyche "!
There's two inside our skull!
" Now what would you call that " ?
A bi-psyche-skull !
He asks allot of questions to find out what we think
He's Dr. Scratchandsniff, the studio shrink!


:D :D :D

Yakko: It's that time again!
Dot: To make fun of the Disney channel?

{Dot}: Don't look down! You might fall and hit your head and die and your brains would leak out allllllll over!

narf!

Great news! Narf ! Narf! :D

Season 1 of 'The Animaniacs' is great, great stuff. 'Bumbie's Mom' is one of the best send ups of 'Bambi' ever.
:)

Yay! Animaniacs! There's baloney in my slacks!
Boingy Boingy Boingy! :D

CP and I were having a good laugh over Pinky's habit of saying, "Naaaaaaarf" in awe and amazement. Or, as I termed it, the "Narf of Wonder". Good stuff. I was also remembering that Pinky didn't always say narf. He "discovered" it in one episode. As I rembmer, he saw, or was thinking of, the name "Fran" and said, 'You know, 'Fran' backwards is 'narf'...Narf!" And he used it ever after.

Pokla dot?
Again?

A trailer for the DVD sets is now online at this website.

Wakko: "Maybe you should see a pee-sychiatrist."

I now have the clip of Dr. Scratchnsniff showing the three how a monkey acts in my head.
:D

Because of this thread I went off and dusted off some old VHS tapes I have of Season 1. I love this show. I may just have to get these on DVD.

I blame zapppop!
:D

Hehehe.

This clip should bring back some memories, as well as this one !

:D

Can't watch youtube at work. Stupid work sonicwall censoring crappola.

I remember seeing 'I'm Mad' in the theatre. Cracked me up. I bought their 1st soundtrack then...

:)

Never saw the second clip before. It's probably from later on, after it switched networks. I didn't follow it after it left.

It might have.

Higher res. images of the cover art were released today.

As much as I loved Pinky and the Brain when it was part of Animaniacs, I wasn't crazy for it as it's own show. I can't wait to see some more goodfeathers. And, "and that was another useless fact!"

I have a Wakko doll. A gift to myself. :D

Dot: I think this uniform needs something; something that says I'm here to destroy you, but with a sense of fun.

Dot: I've got it! Wear your underwear outside your pants. Hey, it worked for Madonna.

:D

Dot:
Little Miss Muffet.
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet
And boy what a big tuffet she had!
If you're feeling insecure, just sit next to her
And then you won't feel quite so bad.
Thank you.

'Animaniacs' comes out on DVD tomorrow! :)

Quick, someone start quoting Animaniacs lines at Alex.

Ist das nicht ein big fat ****?
Ja das ist ein big fat ****.
Ist das nicht ein hard as rock?
Ja das ist ein hard as rock.
Big fat ****, hard as rock,
Oh, du schone
Oh, du schone
Oh, du schone
Schnitzelbank!

Yes, Morrigoon and I had our "adult" versions of the animaniacs songs to match our broadway and disney adult lyrics when we were in high school. Oh I can't wait to see these again!!!

...picked up the Animaniacs and PATB sets on Tuesday. Watched Disc one of the Animaniacs set last night. Fantastic! (though the extras are a little thin...)

Volume 2 coming December 5th! :D

how many are there going to be Zapp?

Rather, how many are needed to have it all?

Animaniacs was cancelled after it's 99th episode & there are about 20-25 episodes per volume.
So expect a total of 4 volumes.

I am so happy that volume 2 is coming out. I heard the WB had finished mastering the second boxes and was ready to release them if the first ones did well, so I bought my sets on day one.
