AniMat Reviews: "Animaniacs (2019)" - The Return of the Iconic Warning Siblings

Introduction
Animaniacs. I'm not talking about the cartoon, I'm talking about the 2019 film. It was a film directed by the same guy who directed two DreamWorks films: Turbo and the Captain Underpants movie and this is his first time working at Warner Animation Group and is of course, based off of the cartoon of the same name which debuted in the 1990s during the golden age of animation era. Without further ado, let's start the video.

The Story
Likewise, the story follows a girl named Ariana finding the Animaniacs after hiding in a car being release by Dr. Otto von Scratchansniff. When watching the film, you find out that the plot is a little related to another Warner Bros. film titled, Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Infact, an Animaniacs film was denied several times in the 2000s by Warner Bros. due to the box office failure of Back in Action. The story could've been much better, but I would say it was pretty decent, including Ariana taking the Animaniacs out for a car ride for absolutely no good reason. But it was revealed in a deleted scene that Ariana took the Animaniacs out for a car ride was because they wanted to stop at a food restaurant.

There's also an second plot to the story in which The Brain and his sidekick Pinky, from Animaniacs ' spinoff series Pinky and the Brain, train a group of mice children in order for Brain to takeover the world. Some people might say that Pinky and the Brain were useless in this movie just because they had a second plot, but they only have eleven minutes of screen-time while Yakko, Wakko, and Dot only get one hour and 23 minutes of screentime. That's even enough screentime then Tom and Jerry have in their 2021 film!

The film also features some Looney Tunes cameos in a place called The Looney Desert. Fun fact: Two parents took their kid to go see the Looney Desert, but it turns out, it was never there! Mainly because the the Looney Desert was a prop for the film. After filming on the movie ended, the director David Soren decided to throw away the prop.
