Animaniacs is an American animated comedy television series created by animator Tom Ruegger and produced by Amblin Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television Animation. It originally aired on Fox's Fox Kids block in 1993 before moving to The WB in 1995 as part of its Kids' WB afternoon programming block until the series ended on November 14, 1998. It initially ran a total of 99 episodes, along with a direct-to-video film, ''Wakko's Wish.
Animaniacs is styled as a variety show, with short skits featuring a large cast of characters focusing on the Warner Brothers and their sister as main characters. The Warner siblings were in part inspired by the real-life Warner Bros. Water Tower on the Warner Bros. Studios lot in Burbank, California. While the show had no set format, most episodes were composed of three short mini-episodes, each starring a different set of characters and bridging segments. Elements of the series included frequent musical numbers, satire, character catchphrases, and references to historical events and figures.
