What Season 1 of Pinky and the Brain

Pinky and the Brain are two genetically modified lab mice living in a cage inside Acme Labs. Pinky is kind but not very bright. The Brain is very smart, but also arrogant, cunning and bitter, and his goal is to take over the world. In nearly every episode he comes up with a new plan and relies on Pinky to carry it out. The schemes usually go wrong because they're unfeasible, because of the Brain's overconfidence, because of a slip on his part, or because of his partner's clumsiness. Their plans include submarine heists, identity impersonations and attempts to rule entire countries.
