Anamaniacs Review

Finally finished watching one of the best cartoons of the 90's! I couldn't believe how funny and adult the jokes were in this series. It holds up well over time, I'm happy to say! So real quick, let me go through the worst and best cartoons in the series to watch:

The Worst:

 Mindy and Buttons

Repetitive to the end. Mindy escapes, Buttons chases her, she ends back at her home safe and sound and Buttons gets blamed for something he didn't do by her parents. That's EVERY EPISODE! They even recycle the same jokes over and over, which makes you want to beat your head against the wall! Skip these cartoons.
 Rita and Runt

There is NO humor here either. Just songs and music as these two travel the world and get into trouble. Great to fall asleep to, hard to find something to laugh at. Skip it.

Katie Kaboom

I had no idea she had her own cartoons. I thought they were just shorts. But turns out she got a few episodes here and there. Terribly boring as it plays out the same joke over and over again. Teenage girls throw tantrums. That's what we're supposed to laugh at every time. I think maybe some of the writers at the WB had teenagers they wanted to pick on so they made this cartoon as an inside joke. A joke which flops out of the gate.

Hit and Miss Cartoons



 Chicken Boo

He wear a disguise to look like human guys but he's not a man he's a chicken boo. A hilarious cartoon that has the same plot just a different situation. It cracked me up every time due to the ridiculous nature of the toon. May not be everyone's cup of tea but the cartoons are short and give you a little smile each time they come on.
 Cartoon Shorts

Good Idea/Bad Idea isn't that funny. Worthless Facts is funny as is Dot's Poetry Corner but the kid who tells stories about Randy Beaman's family is HILARIOUS!!! These shorts are hit or miss but not bad overall.

Best Cartoons

 Yakko, Wakko and Dot

The title characters of the cartoon aren't 100% on delivering the "funnies" but when they're on, they have some brilliant episodes. Yakko's songs, Wakko's Burps are amoung the most entertaining toons in the whole series. In the span of 99 episodes, these characters chase after woman, travel through time, meet 90's celebs, Satan and recognize Jesus as the meaning of Christmas. (not joking, they actually had an episode on it) These characters are extremely lovable and I wish the WB would consider bringing them back out of the water tower. In today's society that's filled with people easily offended, the Warners would thrive in such an enviroment!
 Goodfeathers

A simple rift on the movie "Good Fellas" but I LOVE it! SO GOOD! Especially if you enjoyed the movie which they rift off of. My favorite part of the cartoons is that every time it starts off with the phrase from the movie "Ever since I can remember..." I didn't realize this as a kid and now that I have, it made me love the toon even more!
 Pinky and the Brain

I don't think it's any surprise to know this was one of the best cartoons in the entire series. The studio knew it too because they made a spin off cartoon from them. (which I'm currently watching now) They shine above the rest in the series.

Overall, Anamaniacs is well worth your time if you were considering watching it again. It's well worth your time!
