This approach was unique in the 1990s, since goofball/slapstick-type shows (think Looney Tunes/ Merrie Melodies) had been driven out by Moral Guardians in the 1980s.Īnimaniacs was also unique production-wise: Spielberg gave the writers complete creative freedom over the direction of sketches (just like with Tiny Toon Adventures and Freakazoid!), which is why many fans hold such fond memories of it. Rather than recycling or remaking old theatrical shorts, Animaniacs relied on original stories featuring original characters (though it did indulge in a bit of self-referential cliché riding at times). Produced by Steven Spielberg, Animaniacs was a revival of an old show concept: a collection of cartoon shorts in a half-hour kids' show.
