Animaniacs was one of my favorite shows growing up. I wasn't born in the 1990s, but I watched this show when it started airing reruns on the Hub Network in 2013, and I adored it.
This show is just as good as the original. The animation is hand-drawn, bright, colorful, and bouncy. The new songs are beautifully composed and sung. Plus, they got the original voices for Yakko, Wakko, and Dot back. The show may not have the same writing team as the original, but the new writers know how to write hilarious scripts because I laughed out loud several times.
Many people are hating on this show because it covers modern stuff like technology, social media, reboots, and Donald Trump's presidency. Did you even watch the original show? The original show poked fun at 90s pop culture all the freaking time, such as Friends, Rugrats, and the Macarena. Plus, the original show was no stranger to political humor, as they made fun of Bill Clinton and the Republican Party frequently.
After 22 years, the show has still got it. I'm a little bummed out that certain characters aren't in the reboot like Slappy Squirrel, but the makers of the reboot said that if the reboot is successful, then they will add the missing characters. Go support it on Hulu and have a zany time!
score 10/10
