It's Official, It's Time For 'Animaniacs' To Come Back And It's Zany To The Max

Huge news everyone! The 90s favorite Animaniacs is officially coming back to TV with a brand new show and we can hardly believe it's true! Animaniacs was one of the best shows of the 90s, and when it went off the air we all felt the loss. But now, the three lovable creatures are back, ready to be introduced to a new generation of kids (and for us big kids to watch too).

Warner Bros.

The show will be airing on the streaming service Hulu, which had recently gained the rights to all 99 episodes of the original run. The show premiered in 1993 and ran through 1998, but we all continued to love it long after it was gone. Well, this team up has turned into a new series, with two seasons currently in the works.

It's not just Yakko, Wakko and Dot who will be back, their friends are coming with them. Here's what Hulu has said so far...

Hulu released a statement and it has us all completely ready for this to premiere. Here's what they said:

The Warner brothers, Yakko and Wakko, and the Warner sister, Dot — three inseparable, irascible siblings — have a great time wreaking havoc and mayhem in the lives of everyone they meet. They have been locked away in the Warner Bros. water tower for a very long time, but they have found a way to escape. And escape they do — every day! Causing chaos and comic confusion, Yakko, Wakko and Dot run loose in the city, turning the world into their personal playground. And fan-favorite characters Pinky and the Brain will also return to make appearances in each episode.

Warner Bros.

Original creator of the show, Stephen Spielberg is thrilled with the announcement. “I am so pleased and proud that Animaniacs will have a home at Hulu,” he said. “Together with Warner Bros., we look to bring new audiences and longtime fans into this wild world of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot. I am also excited that the full library of Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures episodes are included in the deal.”

Warner Bros.

New episodes are expected to be released in 2020, but for now you can revisit all your favorite episodes and remind yourself just how much you love those goofy little guys.

Who else remembers planning their entire week based on when Beverly Hills: 90210 was going to be on TV? It wasn't like we could record it easily, blank VHS tapes were pricey, so we had to watch it when it was on or miss out. Watching Brenda, Kelly, Dylan, Brandon, Donna, and everyone else hand out and get into all kinds of mayhem was the highlight of our weeks. When it ended, we were all a bit sad, but then they brought it back with a new spin-off.  The new show tried to catch that same teen spirit, but

Watching Die Hard is like watching a little piece of history. It truly has remained one of the greatest movies of all time no matter how much time passes. Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person.

Trailer For New Nickelodeon Documentary Has Your 90s Favorites Spilling All The Secrets

Nickelodeon wasn't just a television network, it was basically a generation. Kids all over the country were bonded in this weird little family, obsessing over shows that our parents just couldn't possibly understand. They were for us. They weren't made to appeal to our parents, they were made for our enjoyment and so we felt a special connection to them unlike any other shows. Nickelodeon is still going strong today, but it's hard to remember that there was a time before the iconic kids network came around. The company may be a juggernaut now, but how did it get started?
