Pinky and the Brain Review

I never knew they made a spinoff of Anamainiacs, starring these two. But thanks to Hulu, I was finally able to view all the episodes for this review!

The show is fun. Brain saying "Yes" and Pinky never pondering what Brain is pondering are usually the highlights of every episode. There's a few special issues that talk about their origin and fleshed both characters out well.

A neat idea for an episode was looking at it through the eyes of Pinky. Where we only understand half of what Brain is saying and how Pinky's brain works when he "ponders"

They also connect past adventures as well to reward those long time viewers of the show.

The highlight of the series was in fact the series finale, where they brought the entire cast of Anamaniacs back to play out Star Wars: A New Hope!

It also made me realize how this show lagged in variety without the other characters from its predecessor. The cartoon was good but just like if you were to eat dessert all the time, it'd eventually get old. Pinky and the Brain, though done well, was too much of a good thing and suffered because of it's lack of variety with having other characters tell their story as well.

I think the perfect mix would've been the Warners, Good Feathers and Pinky and Brain (with a few Randy Beaman and Chicken Boo stories thrown in every once in a while)

Though not as good as Anamaniacs, I did enjoy it.

Have a good weekend folks!
