What Season 1 of Animaniacs
Yakko, Wakko and Dot Warner return to television after twenty-two years away, and their starting point is a world they no longer recognize. They have to learn how life works in the 21st century, from Hollywood reboots to memes and apps. Each episode bundles several shorts. In most of them, the brothers get into new trouble, while Pinky and the Brain stay obsessed with taking over the world. Their plans include using a dragon or sneaking into the NSA. The physical humor sits alongside satire that adults can appreciate.
