It's about time the Animaniacs hit DVD! What a great series! The DVD boxset contains 5 DVDs, which is all of season 2. Animaniacs is a Warner Brothers and Stephen Spielberg creation...an animated series of half hour programs. I do not believe that these actually are kids cartoons...but saying that, please let me say that there is no vulgarity, adverse sexuality or unacceptable levels of violence...that's not what I mean when I say this is not a kid's show. What I mean is that most of the jokes are subtle and that only adults and maybe teenagers would get them. Heck, I catch a new background joke everytime I watch an episode! ON the surface, it's just a cartoon, and fine for children, but if you're older, you'll very likely enjoy this series cuz it pokes fun at everything from movies, to tv stars to politics, to world events to history, to geography, to literature...and so much more...but not in a rude and crude way (such as for instance South Park or Family Guy...ANIMANIACS is totally appropriate for kids...even if you end up laughing more often than they do! PROS: ~~Of course the episode picture and sound quality is super-duper. ~~I LOVE how you can choose from the menu not only the episode that you want, but the segment you want (so you don't have to fast-forward through an episode to get to the part you want). I played "Potty Emergency" over and over! ~~I also LOVE how on disk 5 that there is a special segment called "The writers flipped they have no script"...which is a really interesting interview of some of the writer's from the series and a discussion about what their favorite episodes were. Wow! I wish all animated DVD sets had this feature. CONS: ~~I actually found the DVDs a bit difficult to get out of their cardboard sleeve...it delayed me almost a minute from getting at them! Had to shake that box set like a stubborn Etch-a-sketch to get the DVDs to slide out. ~~Aside from the aforementioned "The writers flipped..." section, there are NO audio commentaries for any og the episodes (such as what Futurama offers). I found this to be very disappointing. I would give it a 5/5, but for the lack of audio commentaries and other such extras.Read full review
At first the first few episodes on disc one played wonderfully at first, until the Dracula themed episodes. From then on the rest of episodes skip horribly leaving me unable watch finish and enjoy the rest of first dvd. The rest of the DVDs seem to work just fine except for the first one.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
The show's main focus is around the Warner Brothers and their sister, Yacko Wacko and Dot, and them trying to excape the water tower while professor Scrachandsniff and Hello Nurse try to capture them to bring them home. There are also a plethera of other fun and entertaining cartoon shorts as well. I think that cartoons like these are a must have in your video library. Fun for the whole family as they have jokes kids may not get but the adults will. I you like Sponge Bob you will love the animanics.
I love the animaniacs and I always have..but the coolest thing is that I never thought about having the dvd until a friend of mine told me he got it from EBAY at a really great price!!!Which in turn is what I did....I have to tell you I love this dvd it is great quality...it's really funny and in a world that is messed up right now..this is what i need ..to laugh!!! I love EBAY and the fact that you can find anything you want REALLY IN THE WORLD!!!! Thanks for letting me voice my opinion!!!!!
I wanted to pick up this title for several different reasons. I enjoyed the show growing up, I wanted to get all of the episodes in a format that was easy to watch and finally wanted my daughter to learn from it, the same way that I did.The set comes with 5 DVDs full of video, that kept me, my wife and daughter occupied for hours. Good stuff.
