It's something that approaches the level of intriguing me enough to pay for and override my cheapskate soul (is Hulu one you have to pay for? I can't keep track of all these kids and their dang-nabbin' streaming-services anymore, even. Don't look at me like that. Get off my lawn!).
Starting in November, it seems Hulu's releasing new episodes of the Animaniacs. With at least the main portion of the voice-acting talent coming back on. Brief lookabout on the web doesn't tell me much about the writer situation or if there'll be any overlap--though did inform me that a lot of the other characters besides the main three, Pinky, and the Brain are either gone or only making limited appearances.
Pour one out for Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse, Sietchers. Slut-shamed out of work once again by the offices of the WB.
Is cautious optimism warranted? Or do folks prefer to approach this in the manner of Looney Tunes rehashes where judgement is reserved and pessimistic? Might the show be able to recapture that magic of parody that tiptoed the line of the censors back in the day? Or is it something modern sensibilities just might not grok and this'll end in the same ash-heap as many a previous resurrection of old cartoon property that couldn't change?
There's not much to go off of yet, but since when has that stopped lots of speculation from everybody on the internet?
Suppose there is the update to the art style? Fitting or not? I'm uncommitted and waffley because strong opinions escape me this evening from such short clip. But it was at least a little funny. Or, at least, I laughed.
But...
We know Buttons won't chase Mindy, Rita won't sing a verse, and there'll be no Hello Nurse...
Are the writers flipped? Will they have a script? Will they bother to rehearse?
...And now I've got a two-decade old cartoon theme song stuck in my head.
Again.
