Animaniacs ( an-ih-MAY-nee-aks) is an American animated comedy television series created by animator Tom Ruegger and produced by Amblin Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television Animation. It originally aired on Fox's Fox Kids block from September 13, 1993 to November 12, 1994 and moved to The WB on September 9, 1995 as part of its Kids' WB afternoon programming block until the series ended on November 14, 1998. A direct-to-video film, Wakko's Wish, was released in 1999. 99 episodes (274 segments) were produced over five seasons. Animaniacs is styled as a variety show, with short skits featuring a large cast of characters focusing on the Warner Brothers and their sister as main characters. The Warner siblings were in part inspired by the real-life Warner Bros. Water Tower on the Warner Bros. Studios lot in Burbank, California. While the show had no set format, most episodes were composed of three short mini-episodes, each starring a different set of characters and bridging segments. Elements of the series included frequent musical numbers, satire, character catchphrases, and references to historical events and figures. The series received acclaim from critics and won multiple awards, including eight Daytime Emmy awards and a Peabody award. Animaniacs continued to rerun in syndication through the 1990s into the early 2000s after production of new episodes ceased. A revival of the series streamed on Hulu between 2020 and 2023. Additionally, nine video games based on the series were produced.
