pinky and the brain has to be my favorite cartoon of all time. from bizzare plans to take over the world to even more bizarre plans to make those bizzare plans work, pinky and the brains shenanigans never get old. i grew up watching pinky and the brain, and they never get old. Strange and interesting characters, ranging from brains nemesis snowball, to pinky's horse/girlfriend, as well as the occasional anamaniac apperances, round out the outrageous cast of the show. The joy that they seem to take in slamming bill clinton and other famous figure (although mostly clinton), is just so infectious that you cant help but laugh. And even better are the deep themes that appear if you watch closely enough, but dont affect the hilarity of the show if you dont notice them, makes the show fun to watch for everyone. i even wrote a paper on one of the episodes for my compostion class. there will never be another cartoon of pinky and the brains caliber. this show is the perfect thing to enjoy with your children and friends. it may take some convincing to get them to watch, but once they do they will be hooked.
A Pinky and the Brain fan For life!

It's their last hurrah in the third and final volume of Steven Speilberg's award-winning series as Pinky and the Brain continue their global conquest which will keep you laughing at each failure. (Even more of their attempts are shown in "Animaniacs, Vol. 3" also available.)

These 22 episodes on four discs include "But That's Not All Folks", "Broadway Malady", "Dangerous Brains", the three-part special "Brainwashed", and the Animaniacs themed "Star Warners".

This set also has a special feature called "It's All About the Fans" where the voices of the title rodent characters (Rob Paulsen and Maurice LaMarche) pay tribute to us fellow viewers.

Now that this is the last volume of this series, I wonder what will take its place when "Animaniacs, Volume Four" is out ? I hope it's "Tiny Toons Adventures". That would really be something to own on DVD. I'd really like to catch up on the crazy mis-adventures of Buster Bunny, Babs Bunny, Plucky Duck, and a whole lotta other Looney Tunes inspired characters. Yeah, I really hope that's in development.

Oh, wait. There's also "Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain". The adventures of those little mice with big plans still continue, but under a new roof. The roof of the animal-loving Elmyra, who is another character from "Tiny Toons". I probably think that will be on DVD next. Either way, I really want to see some more classic Kids WB series on DVD for the first time. I don't mind waiting, that's for sure.

By the time this show reached its third season, the joke was getting a little thinly spread. The plots became further away from the initial concept of two lab mice wanting to take over the world and more a showcase for the two lead characters' interaction. This however is not a criticism.
In TV the word 'formula' is dreaded. However, here the characters remain so endearing that the blueprint of every plot being vitually the same did not matter.
Most episodes followed this arc: -
1. Brain has a bizarre idea as to how to take over the world
2. To carry out this plan some equipment/money is needed
3. Brain comes up with an even more bizarre way to get said equipment/money
4. The plan fails due to Pinky's stupidity
5. The initial plan to take over the world is abandoned
6. Start over tomorrow night
Although there are exceptions, that basically sums up this and the previous two seasons but as the saying goes - If ain't broke don't fix it - and this formula was one that bore a lot of comedy fruit.
This show certainly beats some of the dross that graces our screens these days and had the nerve to demand that its audience had some intelligence.
Not laugh-a-minute but still a classic.
Ps .
I still can't believe that no-one has decided to revive these characters to star in a live-action movie (with CGI P&B of course).

Ahhh... Pinky and the Brain. These DVD arrived in perfect condition, in the original shrink wrap packaging. NARF!! Some of the best animation ever.

The service that I got for this was great. The product was priced at a GREAT rate and I was very happy to receive it in great condition. I have been watching this show ever since I got it in the mail. I was so glad to finally have it since this series is priced so high in the stores.

The product was it the condition it stated, which is very important for a seller to put up. There were no marks or anything else and in the original product wrapping.

Received item in time described-would buy from vendor again. Got this for my husband for Christmas. Pinky & the Brain are hilarious-you will love them!!

I bought the entire series for my husband recently. He's especially fond of certain episodes. Our kids are now learning the how-to's of taking over the world.

it is really excellent to watch the antics of these mice. the adult and child humor make tis neat for al ages.

Pinky and the Brain are at it again! The two mice plot to take over the world, time and again in this third and final boxset of the series (at least until Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain, the show NOBODY wants would come out, which is doubful.).

Many good episodes include The Megalomaniacal Adventures of Brainie the Poo (Parody of Winnie the Pooh), The Melancholy Brain (Hamlet, with the mice worked into the story, until William Shakespeare is told to lose the mice, since they stink), Inherit the Wheeze (Strong Anti-Smoking Message, here!), The Three-Part Epic, Brainwashed, and one half of the Hour-Long Animaniacs/Pinky and the Brain Series Finale - Star Warners, a Star Wars parody with 3-Pinky-O and Brain2-Me2 (Pinky and the Brain), Yakk Soho (Yakko), Wakk Skylicker (Wakko), Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Leiana Origami The Third (Dot), Girth Plotz (Thaddeus Plotz), Slappy Wanna Nappy (Slappy Squirrel), Skippoda (Skippy), and Soho's co-pilot Chewbooboo (Chicken Boo)!

Good is the boxset, yes! The show was a breakaway hit on the WB Schedule, and was really great to begin with! If you love Pinky and the Brain, then you'll also love Animaniacs, Poit!

This volume contains the "You Said a Mouse Full" episode where Pinky and the Brain need to be able to say a long series of tongue twisters at the Hackensack, eh, shoemakers. All together, very entertaining.
