What Season 1 of Animaniacs
Yakko, Wakko and Dot are three Warner siblings who claim to have been cartoon stars in the 1930s. According to the series, studio executives locked them in the Warner Bros. water tower in Burbank because they were considered too wild. Years later, they escape and roam the studio lot, where they run into Warner Bros. himself. Their goal is to get out of the tower, but there they're treated as a problem, and that confinement is the source of the main conflicts. Each episode is split into several shorts with different characters, full of music and humor. Dr. Scratchansniff tries to help and calm them down, while Brain and Slappy complicate their lives with their own schemes.
