Animaniacs & Pinky and The Brain DVD sets confirmed!
 

Yippy!:D
It's official!...DVD boxsets of Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain have been confirmed:

Tvshowsondvd.com has announced that both Animaniacs and Pinky & the Brain are coming to DVD July 25.

Animaniacs is 5-disc set containing 25 episodes featuring the Warner Brothers (Yakko & Wakko) and their sister Dot. Along with Slappy Squirrel, the Goodfeathers, Rita & Runt, Buttons & Mindy, Chicken Boo, and of course Pinky & the Brain.

The box set also contains Animaniacs Live! in which Maurice LaMarche (The voice of the Brain) host an in-style interview show with some of the cast & crew. The DVD is sold for $44.98 SRP.

Pinky & the Brain is the Animaniacs spin-off about two lab mice from Acme Labs. One who's a mad genius, and the other is a few fries short of a happy meal. They escape the lab for one reason, trying to take over the world.

Their DVD box set is a 4-disc set containing 22 episodes of classic world dominating plans for $44.98 SRP. No word on extras as we speak.

Now all we need is a Tiny Toons set...

I'd buy that first, then Animaniacs.

I remember that Pink & The Brain spinoff, but didn't watch it much. Animaniacs, however... <3.

I await the Tiny Toons set as well. I miss these shows.

Animaniacs definately. Question, will the boxset contain the entire series or just a season at a time?

Fuck Animaniacs and Tiny Toons. Where's Captain N?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........Pinky and the Brain!

I watched that everyday when I came home from school. I'd buy it if I had the time to watch it all over again.

I not too long ago downloaded all the Pinky and the Brain Episodes.
i couldn't wait long enough.

Is this like a set of the first season, or some "Greatest Episodes" kind of bullshit?

Dammit, why can't WB buy Fox so we can have sets of the X-Men animated series?

YES. Fucking finally.

Pinky and the Brain FTW.
Animaniacs are fine too.

Animaniacs was truly ahead of its time. I just hope Warner Bros. doesn't decide to cut back on some of the raunchier humor.

"What did you say you were?"

"A pianist."

(gasp) "Goodnight everybody!"

"But that's what I am! A pianist!"

And my personal favorite.

(after Michaelangelo shows his plans for the Sistine Chapel)

"Ew, more naked people!"

"I wouldn't go flashing that around, Mike. This is a church."

I kind of wish they'd release seperate sets for each character. I'd buy a Goodfeathers boxset like that.

This is good news for sure, but the true question is which 25 episodes will we receive? Most were decent but there were some that were just so over-the-top awesome that they simply can't be omitted. The protests would be deafening.

For example, the "Anvilania" episode needs to be included. Also, the one in which Otto Scratchensniff goes on a date with Helga and the Warners spoil his date.

But other episodes should be included to showcase the best of the non-Warners material, such as the infamous "Woodstock Slappy" skit, the one in which The Brain takes over country music as "Bubba Bo Bob Brain' and anything with Minerva Mink.

For my money, they could totallly leave out those retarded Rita & Runt and Buttons & Mindy parts. I never felt those were up to par with the rest of the show. While they're at it, they can keep those dumb hippos too.

And entire chapter devoted to "Good Idea, Bad Idea" would also be appreciated.

He's a chicken, I tell you. A GIANT CHICKEN.

I'd buy all of the episodes on DVD because they rock so hard. What I always liked the most were the songs. They were incredibly well written and catchy as well.

Crash just made me lol at the thought of Bubba Bo Bob Brain.

Won't be getting them, but this is great, getting these old cartoons on DVD- Pinky and the Brain, a classic[I'd get them but have no money, weep]

I have a bunch of the Animaniacs song albums on my FTP....so you might wanna check them out soon!;)

I agree with Crash though, which 25 episode's indeed?!
Like any of the Warner cartoons there are always a bunch of very mediocre episode's amongst them, so I'm hoping some of the classic episode's will be on the DVD set!
Who knows....maybe they will be released in order of airdate's, which should mean that these episode's will be on the DVD set:

I'm glad that that there are also bunch of people here who also want Tiny Toons to come out on DVD BADLY!
I want it even more then Animaniacs and P & the B!
They at least need to release the Tiny Toons movie on DVD (called "How I Spent My Vacation").....it's just a classic!

gah, I don't know why I ever watched this series but I did. Every morning it was the same cartoon, damn did it ever get annoying. Those three dogs, or whatever they were >_< (I'm really sure the cartoon itself was also confused on what they really were too haha)
I couldn't stand it and yet I saw it. This and Tiny toons and freakazoid, well actually freakaziod had somewhat a different humor, I still remember " HEEEERO BOY!" those fat sumo guys with their voices ^_^

This is excellent news! Now all I need is for Courage the Cowardly Dog and Eek! the Cat to be released as well...

Oh god. First thing on my Christmas list.

Which is saying alot, cause I haven't bothered to get the boxed sets of anything else.

<3

Sadly, this might never happen...

These DVDs are going on any wish list of mine that I can find, though <3

Apparently they are deviding each series into 4. So we get the first 25 episodes and 22 episodes of the respective series this July and then in December we get the next 25 and 22 episodes and then repeat next year.

Who cares.

Where's Captain Planet, Darkwing Duck and ExoSquad.

Darkwing Duck I can see...but CAPTAIN PLANET?!? Are you ill?!?

Anyway...

I thought I heard rumors about this happening a few monts back, so it's good to hear the story's alive and well. Just the mention of the name "Animaniacs" brought back some nice memories from my college days. I do want this VERY MUCH...

Really? I hope you're right, because I would hate for them to only release 25 episodes on DVD total. There's far too many that I must have, like the previously mentioned "Michaelangelo" episode or the one where the Warners end up in Hell (while trying to get to Six Flags over Flushing). The good thing about both these sets is, my mother will probably buy them before me :D. So I don't have to spend my own money for them.

But there's no guarantee that they'll release them in order of air date, if WB's work with the Batman the Animated Series is any example; they didn't follow airdate at all with those sets, even though they're releasing the whole series.

And I hope they have all the Good Idea, Bad Idea things, as well. There's so many little 'filler' parts to the show that were just brilliant (Chicken Boo and Wheel of Morality as well). God, that was the Renaissance of the After-school/Saturday morning cartoon, when Spielberg was in the business.

Darkwing Duck is already confirmed. ExoSquad would be nice if it didn't end before its second season could finish. Who cares about Captain Planet.

It's great news for me.

Animaniacs and Pinky and The Brain -- I will eat up these DVDs when they come out.

FINALLY! Man I totally worshipped those shows when I was little. I had the theme songs for both memorized. I enjoyed both shows and I know my dad will be happy for the Pinky and the Brain DVD.

Dear Lord, my dad loved Pinky and the Brain SO MUCH. And you cannot mention Buttons and Mindy around my sister without her quipping "Okay I love you bye bye!"

This is like... gold for them. For me... well, I was too absentminded as a kid to really appreciate the finer points of these shows.

As for a Tiny Toons DVD box set, they had BETTER fucking include the Citizen Kane spinoff, as well as the one where they end up on the Death Star and the one where they go to... I *think* it was the center of the Earth.

Honestly, I always found Tiny Toons overrated. Granted the show had its moments (the shortlived Plucky spinoff, the summer and easter vacation specials, and my personal favorite, the one where all the kids had to create an animated short to be judged by Bugs, Porky and Daffy. "Dizzy Eat World!" made me laugh so hard I was crying), but in the end it tried way too hard to have a hip, '90s attitude, and most of the characters were just annoying knockoffs of the classic characters they tried to pay homage to. Watching Sylvestor get nearly torn in half every time he tried to eat Tweety was fine, but when it happens to a cute kitten like Furball, it just felt cruel. :(

IMO, Animaniacs was far superior to TT in every aspect, and the show's creators probably believed the same thing, considering the times they decided to rip on the show.

Wakko: "We're Tiny, we're Toony, we're all a little....ahhh, I'm sick of that song."

Agreed. The fact that the Animaniacs were all-new meant that the writers had to create a brand-new mythos and humor for them, instead of rehashing. Yeah, there's still the nods and winks toward the old days, but for the most part it was all their own world.

I love both Animaniacs and Tiny Toons, but in this case I'm glad that Animaniacs gets the nod first.

I've been waiting years for Pinky and the Brain DVDs. Its about time.

screw that. where's my Freakazoid set?

Eh, I was always annoyed with Animaniacs. I never really enjoyed the show, and was particularly pissed when they started second showings of it on Saturday mornings, and took Earthworm Jim (my favorite show at the time) off the air to do so. (BTW: has EWJ gotten a DVD set yet? it needs one)

Pinky and the Brain, though! That is some awesome news. I always remember searching the opening video for the little blurbs of noise Pinky makes, though all I could find was "zort" near the end (and of course "narf" at the end). Oh and this:

The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: I think so Brain, but if Jimmy cracked corn, and no one cares, why does he keep doing it?

Man, I know I shouldn't spend the money, but I will have the Animaniacs set. No question. It WILL be mine.

I spend so many happy afternoons at my grandmother's house watching that show. Ah, nostalgia.

A classic in every sense of the word. :)

I forget...what was the episode that was an ongoing Beatles gag? Great parodies there, such as "All You Eat is Lunch". And of course, at the end..."I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS!!!...narf." :D

Brain: Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Pinky: I think so Brain, but burlap chafes me so.

My personal favorite:

Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Pinky: ....Yes I am!

Boxart!
No specs yet, though.

Very well done. You think WB would show that same love for Justice League and Batman boxarts, but noooo.

Whew, I'm so glad it says Spielberg on the cover.
