Not all of them stuck or worked, but the variety made the show interesting to watch. The original series featured several reoccurring characters, ranging from the cartoony to the more dramatic. I once read that ANIMANIACS was in a way THE MUPPET SHOW of its generation: a variety show that appealed to adults and kids with its vaudevillian sense of humor and willingness to take creative risks.

But the bigger problem is the lack of other characters beyond the Warners and the mice. The Variety review of the reboot is on point when it says that the Warners were agents of madness driving an uptight world insane, not 'snarky pundits commenting on its flaws.' To be fair, the Warners shorts do have good jokes and flashes of the old style- it's not a total failure, but the smug attitude gets old fast, especially when they make the same jokes about being sellouts to Hulu. These characters as originally presented were essentially the Marx Brothers filtered through classic cartoon logic: they spread anarchic madness wherever they went, to both the innocent and the not-so-innocent. They seem to be going for a more 'the 21st century is so insane that the Warners are the sane ones now' approach, which doesn't really work. Firstly, there's something off about this presentation of the Warner siblings. Unfortunately, the rest of the show doesn't live up to the old one. Also the animation is pretty good on the whole as is the orchestrated music in the style of the old Looney Tunes cartoons. They understand these characters and what made the original shorts so funny without saturating themselves in nostalgia.

Good things first: the Pinky and the Brain segments are amazing. While it often imitates the style of the original cult series, everything feels so much safer- and dare I say it, a little more mean-spirited. That's kind of the way I feel about this reboot. He pointed out that when something has staying power, you cannot recapture that lightning in a bottle, no matter how much money you throw at it.

Recently, director Christopher Columbus complained about Disney's plans to remake HOME ALONE.
