Animaniacs on DVD : July 25th!

[Isaac]

• 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.

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

he hasnt mastered the ingredients song though.

[tracilicious]

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

[Isaac]

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.

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!
