While the new version of "Animaniacs" looks just like the old one, I found it to be a major disappointment. One problem is that unlike the original show, it's only the Animaniacs and Pinky & the Brain installments...which I normally love but what about the other other great characters, like Slappy Squirrel, the Goodfeathers, Katie Kaboom or Good Idea/Bad Idea? While I don't mind them not making segments about the hippos or the singing cat (they always bored me), these other characters are sorely missed. As for the Pinky & the Brain and Animaniacs stories, sadly they all are okay at best and lack the fun and zip that made the show so wonderful back in the 1990s...and since the animation is good and the voice actors the same, you can only blame the writing. Overall, it LOOKS like the original but isn't...proving the old adage, 'You can't go back', is true once again.
