5.0 out of 5 stars Songs too clever for kids -- but they love them anyway, June 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Animaniacs Faboo! Collection: For The Wacky Animaniacs Fan, Young And Old (Repackage Of Animaniacs And Variety Pack) (Audio CD)

For the longest time, my kids (12, 8 & 5) would rave about the Animaniacs TV show, which I dismissed without watching because I assumed it was in the same league as most of the cartoon drivel currently airing. To my complete surprise, the Animaniacs series is one of those rare productions that appeal to adults and kids alike on completely different levels. Nearly all of the songs are SO far ahead of what you'll ever hear on a cartoon (or in any medium, for that matter) that my wife & I are delighted when the kids ask that we put on the Animaniacs CD's in the car. Each time we'll pick up on a line/rhyme we missed before, marvelling at how inventive, witty, imaginative (and silly) and often educational the songs (which often use classical or semi-classical tunes) are. The only downside is that, unless you're familiar with the series' many characters, some of the references in the songs (e.g. the Wrap Party) will make no sense, even though the rhymes are still funny. And...we've made use of some of the songs in the most unusual ways: Wakko's two note song was used in my son's music class to describe different music styles and elements of composition; the Presidents song and Wakko's America were used in history and geography class, respectively. Unless you have no sense of humor, you'll love this set, supplemented by the separate (and admittedly short) Wakko's Universe CD. Caution to the extremely easily offended: Schnitzelbank has the rhyme "gut" with "butt," which in context is hilarious, but which one out of a hundred parental units might find unsuitable for little tykes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best "wake-up" tape for the sleepyheads in our house, April 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Animaniacs Faboo! Collection: For The Wacky Animaniacs Fan, Young And Old (Repackage Of Animaniacs And Variety Pack) (Audio CD)

You are right, Princeton. This one is a treasure. I especially like to put it on when my kids are dragging in the morning. Funny thing is, it's still playing long after the school bus has pulled off. The lyrics are so clever (I hear something new everytime)and funny. This "totally insaney" recording is a must have for everyone, regardless of age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, yes, this is the ultimate collection!, June 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Animaniacs Faboo! Collection: For The Wacky Animaniacs Fan, Young And Old (Repackage Of Animaniacs And Variety Pack) (Audio CD)

Whether or not you think cartoons are just for kids, get this. It is the ultimate collection. Though I had never heard of the Faboo! collection, I have all the songs in it from other Animaniacs CDs and I have to say that you'll be missing a LOT if you pass this one up. You'll laugh until you fall off your chair. "All The Words in the English Language", "Video Revue", the geography songs, and "I'm Mad" are special standouts, but every single song on this great collection will have you begging for more - I don't care how old you are!
