Happy new Year, everybody!
So, how is 2018 starting out for us... We could say it's stating out with a ba--
Well, anyway, here's probably the first great news of the year (especially for television animation fans), Animaniacs is coming back to television! Seriously. it's being revived as new episodes will air on Hulu starting in 2020. Steven Spielberg, executive producer of the original series, will board the revival as EP with his Amblin Television studio, no doubt along with many of the voice actors who helped bring the characters we loved and cherished since episode one to life, as they'll be back to bring them all out of the WB water tower.
The original series, along with other Amblin's other iconic animated series Tiny Toon Adventures, Pinky & The Brain and the later Pinky, Elmyra & The Brain are also available exclusively on Hulu, thanks to a deal between Warner Bros. Television Distribution and the streaming service. (And yes, the series was on Netflix some time ago.
This is a big get for Hulu, and definitely bolsters their current library at the moment, continuing the competition between the two services.
I'm honestly excited. As a fan of the original series, I can't be anymore ecstatic about this news. I don't care that I have to wait another two years or that I have to sign up for a Hulu account (which as of now I do have one), I'm just so happy that it's coming back.
Clearly as this is the start of 2018, we'll have to wait for more news and everything about production, but this, amphitheater other things in the news, definitely made my year start out just NARF!-tastic.
Hope you all enjoy this news. And I'll see you all soon.
Goodnight, everybody.
