Mindy and the Brain
TheLittleSongbird26 June 2018
Love animation to bits. It was a big part of my life as a child, especially Disney, Looney Tunes, Hanna Barbera and Tom and Jerry (with tastes broadening further getting older with Pixar, Studio Ghibli and some of the more mature animations out there), and still love it to this day as a young adult whether it's film, television or cartoons. Actually appreciate it even more now, with more knowledge of the different animation styles, directors, studios and what work went into them.

'Animaniacs' has always been one of my favourites. From an early age, it always stood out as one of the most colourful, unique, funniest and cleverest shows, animated and otherwise, ever made. It is not to be dismissed as a show just for children. There is plenty for children to enjoy, any child who loves great animation, humour to laugh at and unique characters will be in heaven. There is more than plenty for adults too, especially the hugely clever in-jokes/poking fun that is likely to be better understood by older viewers with more familiarity for what is being referenced and poked fun at.

This is not quite one of my personal favourite 'Animaniacs' episodes. It is enormously entertaining and inventive throughout, though "Katie Ka-Boo" is occasionally on the too cute side.

In all the segments, the animation is very well done, with vibrant colouring, crisp beautiful backgrounds and convincing movements for the characters. The music is not only catchy it is actually memorable as well, with an instantly hummable main theme.

The scripts and humour are witty and hilarious. Particularly in the wonderful "In the Garden with Mindy". As are the situations no matter how silly they are the characters get into. This all springs from a great concept, some shows have a great concept but don't live up to it.

'Animaniacs' was always one of the finest examples of execution of a great concept doing that and superbly, with the story lines here being funny and endearing. The characters are immensely likable with unique personalities, with no exception. The Warners are endearing and with great comic timing and Chicken Boo while Brain is again the scene stealer.

Characters that are brilliantly voiced by the likes of Rob Paulsen, Tress MacNeille, Jess Harnell and Maurice LaMarche.

Summing up, great episode. 9/10 Bethany Cox

My favorite episode of the show so far!

Warning: Spoilers
The way it makes absolutely no sense makes so much sense. They mixed up the usual scripts, resulting in absolutely hilarious interactions between characters we've never seen interact before!

Mindy and The Brian for example, I normally don't really like Mindy, but The Brain makes him a better character, this is also the first time we see brain have a serious interaction with someone other than Pinky, and his quotes are comedy gold

We also got introduced to a new character-Katie Kaboom, seems interesting, looking forward to see more of her

Truly a great episode, 10/10
