There ZANIE to the MAX!

Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs, usually referred to as Animaniacs, was an American animated series, distributed by Warner Bros. and produced by Amblin Entertainment. The cartoon was the second animated series produced by the collaboration of Steven Spielberg and Warner Bros. Animation during the animation renaissance of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The studio's first series, Tiny Toon Adventures, was a success among younger viewers, and attracted a sizable number of adult viewers. A major precedent for the series was the success of Disney's Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which featured appearances by many of its famous cartoon characters, and was co-produced by Amblin Entertainment. The Animaniacs writers and animators, led by senior producer Tom Ruegger, used the experience gained from the previous series to create new animated characters that were cast in the mold of Chuck Jones and Tex Avery's creations

Animaniacs had a large cast of characters, separated into separate segments, with each pair or set of characters acting in its own plot. The Warners,Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, were three cartoon stars from the 1930s that were locked away in the Warner Bros. water tower until the 1990s, when they escaped.^[2] After their escape, they often interacted with some of the human characters working at the studio including Ralph: the security guard, Dr. Otto Scratchansniff: the studio psychiatrist, and his assistant Hello Nurse: a sexy woman who would always fetch a lustful reaction from Yakko and Wakko who would respond to her entrance with an extended "Hellooooooooo Nurse!" Pinky and the Brain are two genetically altered laboratory mice that continuously plotted and attempted to take over the world.^[6] Slappy Squirrel is an aged cartoon star that would easily outwit antagonists and educate her nephew, Skippy Squirrel, about cartoon techniques.^[7] Additional principal characters included Rita and Runt, Buttons and Mindy, Chicken Boo, Flavio and Marita (The Hip Hippos), Katie Ka-Boom, a trio of pigeons known as The Goodfeathers, and Minerva Mink.

The Warner siblings as ducks, before they were changed to their dog-like species. The idea for the Warners to be ducks was changed during preproduction of the series.
