Pinky and Brain is a great political satire cartoon about two mice. one mouse has incredible inteligence called brain who wants to control the world. his assistant pinky not quite so inteligent and accident prone foils brain's attempt at world domination. i watched all of pinky and brain cartoons when they came out on television in 1995. very funny, witty, and political. these cartoons are up there with the classic pink panther cartoons, tom and jerry, and looney toons. i would love to see pinky and brain to take over the world in these cartoons. i would question though if brain did take over the world what would he do?
what would brain turn into. would he be the little mouse that roared? would he be a dictator? i know one thing the world's cheese would be a monopoly under pinky and brain.
I probably don't need to go into how great this show was. Others have already done that in their reviews of Volume 1 released back in July. This second volume contains some of my favorite episodes, so I was really thrilled to have them. There are several hours of these great cartoons here for you to discover or (as in my case) re-discover. It seems they don't make shows like this anymore. Highly recommended.

If you've got the others, grab this set as well. Looney Tunes have never looked better.
This time around, the box set is smaller and much more efficient. The previous sets had one disc per fold-out, which left extra space on the opposite side to fill up with dumb quotes from the shorts. Now the layout is much better.
The cover art however, could've been much better. It looks so much like the first volume - why couldn't they do something different? Volume 3's cover was refreshing, volume 4's looks bland. The gloss and emboss is nice, though.
I love the black and white shorts - the sense of humour in the early 30's shorts is totally different from later years. The characters would always make objects do things they weren't supposed to - like grabbing...

As a splendid homage to the legacy of Warner Bros. animation, the Emmy and Peabody award-winning Animaniacs was arguably the most inventive and deliriously entertaining cartoon series of the 1990s. The series' appeal is at least two-fold: kids will enjoy the wacky characters and easy-to-follow comedy, and grownups raised on "Looney Tunes" and "Merrie Melodies" cartoons will love the show's knowledgeable movie spoofs, witty satire, and spontaneous lines of dialogue aimed squarely at an older audience with an appreciation for Hollywood history. Cartoon lovers and film buffs will benefit the most from repeated viewings of Animaniacs since the series was conceived by head writer Tom Ruegger (under the supervision of executive producer Steven Spielberg) as an affectionate tribute...

Purchasers should note that this volume, like the first volume, not only IS a "season" compilation, due to the varied number of episodes in each season, each volume extends beyond the individual seasons. They are not simply "selections of episodes" they are in fact in the order of original broadcast.
Volume 1 consists of all of season 1 and most of season 2.
Volume 2 contains the last 3 episodes of season 2 and about half of season 3 (by far the longest season in terms of number of episodes).
It is likely that Volume 3 will be the final collection for this series with the remaining half of season 3 and the 5 episodes of season 4.
