Zany To The Max - Anvils, Countries & State Capitals

"Volumes 1 & 2 has some gems I didn't get to see on TV since it was on TV before most adults got home - these are too good. If you like zany, anvils dropping, off the wall... two gems, one is a reciting of most countries in the world on a world map that lights to show where the country is, rapid fire (have to admire him), and recitation of state capitals with a map and pointer. Also fun is Anvilonia (sp?) with one of those sleepy style European national anthems. These are just fun if you refuse to grow up and take life too seriously. Dot feels like she's maybe 12 years old, but she reminds me of the girl that would chase boys into the restroom in 6th grade. I highly recommend Vol. 1 & 2 for putting a big silly smile on your face... if it doesn't you have gotten old before your time. You will not get Slappy Squirrel at all."

"I was 14 years old when this show first came out, so I was enough of a kid to enjoy watching anvils falling on people's heads, but grown-up enough to get most of the jokes. Now, I'm twice as old as I was then, but I'm still enough of a kid to enjoy watching anvils falling on people's heads. You could say that Animaniacs was my generation's Woodstock - I mean, if Woodstock had been a cartoon that featured anvils falling on people's heads. Can't wait for Volume 3!"

Animaniacs are Animazing!

"These episodes are a classic. They are perfect for children while having enough humor to keep adults entertained as well. I recommend this product for all ages!"

Better With Every Viewing

"I was only 11 or 12 when this series screened the first time round, though it was repeated ad infinitum on TV until at least 1998 or 99. I think the show improves with each viewing. The first time around a lot of the in jokes and witty lines were easily missed, but now I find with each viewing a better appreciation for the writing in this fine show. These DVDs finally compile what is a fantastic TV show and even 14 years after the series premiered the show never stops being funny on an adult level. it is the perfect watch if you have a spare 20minutes and want something light and witty but not mindless. Well done to the writers!

Of particular note, the episode "King Yakko" in series 1, a fantastic Duck Soup parody in keeping with Yakko's Groucho Marx-esque nature.
