It’s time for Animaniacs! Hulu’s reboot of the ‘90s strangest cartoon phenomenon premiers on the streaming service on November 20, giving you at least one thing to be thankful for during the holidays.
That is, provided you came of age or otherwise watched the show when it originally ran on Fox a few decades ago. I did, and even then, I found it ever-so-slightly off-putting—certainly a show based on parodying vaudeville routines, gangster movies, surrealism, politics, and Depression-era malaise seemed a weird fit for the grade school set, and still does. Just take a look at the trailer for the reboot, which recreates a scene from a movie approaching 30 years old.
I mean, I’ll still be watching, if only to see how the show’s sensibility has been updated (or not) for the ‘20s. (The 2020s.) Will all of the old familiar characters return? Even the ones who made you immediately switch over to Disney Afternoon? (Or did everyone else actually like the Goodfeathers?) We shall see.
In the meantime, there’s other fun stuff arriving on Hulu this month, including new seasons of Killing Eve (Nov. 6) and Rick & Morty (Nov. 1), a bunch of James Bond movies (fun to see a streaming service once again trying and failing to align its movie lineup with the perpetually delayed release of No Time to Die), and a ton of Christmas flicks.
