Synopsis
The two Warner Brothers Yakko and Wakko and their Warner sister Dot had been (supposedly) created in the 1930's, but their cartoons were too screwy for the general public to handle. The three Warners were locked up in the studio water tower until they escaped in the 90's. There, they run wild, causing chaos everywhere!

Trivia about Animaniacs
The personalities of the siblings were based on Ruegger's three sons.
Slappy Squirrel was based on a suggestion by Sherri Stoner, one of the producers and writers for Tiny Toon Adventures, that she acted like a teenager during her adulthood.
Other characters were based on staff members' children or experiences, cartoons, and films.
The Goodfeathers trio, Bobby, Pesto, and Squit, were based on Joe Pesci's Tommy DeVito, Robert De Niro's Jimmy Conway, and Ray Liotta's Henry Hill from Goodfellas (1990).
Spielberg approved and rejected 25 sets of characters and their concepts pitched by Ruegger and his team in his home with the assistance of his children.
Following the success of Tiny Toon Adventures, Steven Spielberg offered series creator Tom Ruegger a chance to develop another television series.
