Animaniacs -- They’re back again-y! Hulu, Amblin Television and Warner Bros. Animation join forces again to continue the legacy of the iconic, family friendly animated series. Following a successful first season and practically blowing up the internet as one of Hulu’s all-time most talked about series across social media, “Animaniacs” returns for a second zany season with all 13 episodes launching on Friday, November 5.
Yakko, Wakko and Dot return for an all-new season of big laughs and the occasional epic takedown of authority figures in serious need of an ego check. Season two of the Emmy® award-winning series is packed with enough comedy sketches, pop culture parodies, musical comedy, and self-referential antics to fill a water tower. Meanwhile, join season 1 favorites Starbox & Cindy for their latest play date while Pinky and the Brain’s ideas for world domination lead them to a dictator dinner party, a beauty pageant and even the International Space Station.

It’s Pinky and The Brain, you know what that means? World domination! The iconic duo from the Animaniacs are back again, 25 years later, for a whole new generation. Hulu is bringing back Animaniacs along with Pinky and The Brain for a second season.
I had a chance to speak to the voices behind Pinky (Rob Paulsen) and Brain (Maurice LaMarche). The guys spoke about the new version of the show and looked back at the original series.
REAL TALK:
Rob and Maurice are truly a dynamic duo. It’s immediately noticeable in talking to them. Great repertoire. They are Pinky and Brain, can’t imagine anyone else voicing them.
Once again, I was joined on the panel with fellow journalists Michael, Brett and Tessa. They asked really good questions, clearly they were real fans of the original show also. It’s cool being paired with people who share a similar interest.
So I didn’t see the episode back in the OG version of the show where they introduced a third mouse to the equation. Gotta go watch it back, but thanks to Maurice and Rob for filling me in on it.
Also learned that Harold Ramis was an inspiration for Brains voice. Pretty cool.
