When Animaniacs returned with a model new season on Hulu final 12 months, the tip consequence was one thing nostalgic, however not completely positive who it was for. New episodes are only a month away from launch, and the primary have a look at season two could not change your thoughts both manner.

Premiering on the collection’ New York Comic-Con 2021 panel—that includes voice actors Jess Harnell (Wakko), Tress MacNeille (Dot), Rob Paulson (Yakko), and Maurice Lamarche (The Brain)—the clip beneath has the Warner siblings spoof Thundercats.

The ‘80s Cats skit is funny enough, if only because Paulsen can do the “Thundercats, HOOOOOO!” surprisingly well. Likewise, the song is catchy in the way that most Animaniacs songs are, it just feels like a punchline that’s too late. The Thundercats exist on this bizarre cultural limbo proper now after the tip of the zany Thundercats Roar! and the 2011 anime reboot. If the joke got here across the time of Roar or if we had been nonetheless speaking about that film that could also be taking place, it could have hit tougher. Either manner, the Warners and Pinky and the Brain will do what they do greatest throughout the brand new 13-episode season: popular culture references, cartoony chaos, and attempt to take over the world.

In a press launch supplied to io9, the one confirmed returning characters from final season are the alien Starbox and Cindy, the human woman who thinks he’s a weird-looking animal. The press launch additionally teases some “rejected characters” left on the slicing room ground however supplies no additional data. Maybe it’ll convey again a few of the characters from the unique present like Slappy Squirrel? Or do we now have to attend till season three for them?

Animaniacs season two hits Hulu on November 5.
