A Reminder of 90's Classics

So by pure chance I stumbled upon this clip when trying to catch up on some of the past episodes on Channel Awesome and it just brought back some nostalgia (I find this clip is funny, if a little dark).

I love animation and I love voice acting, so to see voice actors still doing their characters voices fills me with...what do you call it...some kind of positive emotion. If only I could remember what people called it. Joy, was it?

To be fair, I loved watching the Steven Spielberg Present's animation series such as Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Freakazoid .etc (loved these shows in particular) and there is no doubt that many will state that Animaniacs was the greatest of them all. I know we watched it often, but I also enjoyed a number of episodes from the spin-off show Pinky and the Brain (who had small episodes on Animaniacs until they got their own series). Having now been given a chance to go back and re-watch some of the episodes (had to look some online as apparently iTunes Australia only have Tiny Toon Adventures and the Pinky and the Brain series). If you do get a chance, try to look all these shows them up. If you like good parodies and references from the 90's then I highly suggest Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures but also, there is also quite a bit of adult humor that tends to appear in these shows (Animaniacs above all it seems).

Heck, if you were to ask which character I liked the best from these shows I would be hard pressed as just about all of them are amazing, let alone just how great the voice acting gives these characters personality and life. I could go on, but I might better explain it in a future post or Animated Reflections article. That said, word has it Animaniacs is returning, though I won't hold my breath until it's out (partly cause I don't want to keep my hopes up and partly cause holding ones breath that long is just stupid).

Looking through my collection, I actually have the DVD of the movie Wakko's Wish and watching it again was great. I might do a quick Animated Reflections look at it in the near future as it is the perfect collection of the shows best characters, music and comedy and could easily be considered the closest thing to perfection for the Animaniacs series.

Go find these shows and watch them. Do it now. Stop reading this and go watch them, it is a life priority.
