the guy who voices yakko is not only still alive, he still does voices for shows. he had pretty serious cancer that needed treatment, though, so he doesn't have the endurance he once had

He wrote on the original Roseanne so if you didn't care for it back in the day you needn't bother with it now.

There’s no way Animaniacs could get away with what made it good back in the day. Our current social consciousness would never allow it. Better to just let it die.

I remember discussing this with my friend some time ago, and his take was that since Animaniacs relied on a formula that used pop culture references from older decades, it wouldn't work well now because it'd be lame 90s/00s stuff instead. Also, Seth MacFarlane ran the idea into the ground and made people hate references being used as springboards for jokes. Hopefully the writers will be clever and it'll be alright.

None of the gay characters are ever depicted in a relationship or even flirting with someone. Will is more volcel than gay as he is outright stated not to have even looked for a relationship or date in over five years. Jack makes jokes that suggest he likes men but he is never seen interacting with them.

The new DuckTales is pretty good, my kids like it. Done right a new Animaniacs should be popular with kids as well. Hot take, John K is a bitter old pervert who's lucky Nickelodeon gave him a TV show when they did.

The thing is, a lot of those older references wouldn't have been unfamiliar to kids watching Animaniacs because all the same old Looney Tunes cartoons that they riff off of were also still airing at the time. There were also many contemporary 90s pop culture references that at least older kids would understand as well.

half the reason the original Animaniacs was so good was because it was a loving expensive production. every episode had super fluid animation that lead to a dramatically higher frame count than all other animated shows on the air and they had a full 35-piece orchestra performing brand new, original scores for every episode basically the new one is gonna suck because you can't even get that kind of talent anymore for double the cost the original was to produce

EugeneJ posted:Name the bitter person who wrote this: John K? Then again there wasn't any sucking of Bob Clampett's dick in that wall of text so idk  Also this is simultaneously great and worrying news. Every time they exhume the corpse of an old show it's hard to 100% look forward to it because the odds of them loving it up are so high, and at worst it can even take a bit of the magic out of the original show. And honestly, the best you can expect is more of the same formula. That being said, this nostalgia cartoon trip of new Rocko and new Animaniacs has my inner little girl loving screaming her head off. And a return of quality shows is better than shoveling out some new but garbage idea for the sake of novelty.
