Editorial Reviews
Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs! 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 fantastic Animaniacs episodes.

This is it. The second volume of Speilberg's acclaimed animated series "Animaniacs" featuring an overload of original characters and episodes to keep you laughin' till next week. If you haven't lived during the past decade, that is to say you've never even heard of "Animaniacs", you really don't know what you're missing. By the way, there seems to be a few characters I seem to have missed from the volume 1 review, which are:
Minerva Mink: Like Hello Nurse, no man - or man-beast - can resist her exquisite beauty, that is unless she meets the guy of her dreams.
Chicken Boo: A six-foot chicken who claims to be a master of disguise, but he really isn't.
Randy Beaman: At times this weird little boy tells the weirdest of stories.
Katie Kaboom: She's your average teenage girl with a not-so-average problem.
Mr. Skullhead: An odd bone-faced fellow who stars in a huge number of shorts entitled "Good Idea, Bad Idea". It wasn't long until he had his very own episode, which is in this volume.
Besides the actual episodes, there are a ton of various other shorts starring the Warner Brothers and the Warner Sister and friends, such as "Dot's Poetry Corner", "The Great Wakkorotti", and, of course, "The Wheel of Morality". There's even a catchy song or two in at least one episode. Hey, this is "Animaniacs", anything can happen in this series.
Such randomness features a plethora of puns and references to actual events and/or stories and movies along with hilarious antics and such like dropping anvils and dynamite down one's pants. Some episodes also have very distinct themes like "Cartoons in Wakko's Body", "Useless Facts", and my favorite, "Animaniacs Stew".
So get your Yakko, Wakko, and Dot on with this new release on a 5-disc DVD set. And don't forget to check out the feature "The Writers Flipped, They Have No Script" where we get to meet the madcap minds behind the stories as they discuss their best episodes of the series. You know, all this excitement is making me geared up for volume three, which I hope is real soon !

I probably don't need to go into how great this show was. Others have already done that in their reviews of Volume 1 released back in July. This second volume contains some of my favorite episodes, so I was really thrilled to have them. There are several hours of these great cartoons here for you to discover or (as in my case) re-discover. It seems they don't make shows like this anymore. Highly recommended.

Fox kids had the best shows ever, Animaniacs being one of them. In my opinion, Steven Spielberg's Tiny Toon Adventures, along with its follow-up show Animaniacs and all the other shows on Fox Kids were the very best animated shows of the early 90s. The Animainacs never failed to make me laugh when I was a kid and they never fail to make me laugh now that I'm an adult. Animaniacs is a show that's made in very good taste - it has really smart humor and nice cultural references, it doesn't have any dirty or obscene material, and as opposed to many modern TV shows, movies and animated films that try to be funny by being dirty, Animaniacs is very funny in a good, clean way. Animaniacs has something for all ages - kids and teenagers will have a lot of fun and will actually learn some life lessons along the way (the show has some 'educational' episodes meant to bring a message to the children), while the adults will appreciate the smart humor and cultural references. And of course, everybody will appreciate the top-quality animation created by some of the greatest animation studios of the day and will love the nicely drawn cute characters, each of which is well thought-out and has his/her own personality, and will adore the fun-packed stories in each of the episodes.
In case you're a fan of good, high-quality classic animation, or if you like animated comedy shows, or if you just like to have fun and if you have a good sense of humor, don't miss Animaniacs! If you got the first volume of the first season, I'm sure you'll adore the second volume too, and if you haven't yet experienced Animaniacs, it might just as well be a good idea to grab both volumes and volume 3 and prepare for a few days of fun and wackiness!

My son loves the Animaniacs. What I've seen is funny and I've found that some of the jokes and tunes are hard to delete from memory. :-)

Autistic child's favorite series
Anyone who loves wacky cartoons and 90's political jabs will love Animaniacs. The songs on the countries of the world and the states of the United States are my favorites.
