So before diving from the Warner Bros’ water tower into the new episodes, join us in celebrating Animaniacs’ ten best educational songs from the original series run.
Animaniacs’ brilliance was multi-fold, of course, but we’re focusing on just how often the animated series attempted to educate viewers via catchy, fact-filled songs that are still memorable well over 20 years later.
(Note that with one quasi-exception, this list contains only songs that were featured on the TV show, and not audio-only tracks.)
So I guess there’s no better time than now for the return of Animaniacs, which helped to redefine children’s animated series in the 1990s thanks in part to Steven Spielberg (along with Tiny Toons and the under-appreciated Freakazoid).
