Animaniacs is back on Hulu, and here’s what the cast has to say!

It’s time for Animaniacs…on Hulu! The streaming service unveils its reboot of the classic animated series today, bringing back the Warner Brothers and the Warner sister Dot (plus Pinky and the Brain) for new adventures.

Ahead of the first season of 13 episodes, Hidden Remote spoke to Animaniacs stars Rob Paulsen (the voice of both Yakko Warner and Pinky), Jess Harnell (Wakko Warner), and Maurice LaMarche (The Brain) about officially returning to their characters.

All three actors have become synonymous with these characters since the original series aired in the 1990s, and while they’ve kept them alive in various ways since (such as the Animaniacs Live! concert tour), now they’re officially bringing them back to star in another TV series.
