Animaniacs and the Nostalgia Critic

Recently, the Nostalgia Critic (AKA That Guy In The Glasses) conducted interviews with some of the mixed nuts behind Animaniacs (including John McCann, Paul Rugg and both Slappy and Skippy -- Sherri Stoner and Nate Ruegger).  In honor of that, I cleaned up this Slappy and Skippy cel set-up from the first season's promotional campaign -- and made sure it had that nostalgic sepia tone coloring.

That Guy in the Glasses told me that the Animaniacs piece will be broadcast  on August 10th.  (Hopefully, I can figure out how to send the video clips from the interview to his FTP site by then.)

  1. Oh man, I'm so excited, I didn't realize Sherri and Nate would be in it too! I kept wanting to invite more people but I was afraid I'd overwhelm him with guests or something hahaha. Yay! ~does a dance~ Don't worry, when he posts it you will have a link ASAP because I watch his website like a hawk on Tuesday nights when new Nostalgia Critics are posted.

  2. Yeah!
    I remember Takineko got Doug Walker (That Guy with the glasses) to do the tribute in the forums.

  5. Wow, I knew about McCann and Rugg, but Sherri and Nate?? Best episode ever!

    Though humorwise, I feel nothing can top Doug's recent shot at Tommy Wiseau.

  6. Sherri said she had fun, I'm so glad ^_^ I had hoped it wouldn't be a stiff interview, Doug is first and foremost- a comedian at heart which is why I wanted to see you guys all interacting together. I can't wait!

  7. I'm excited to see this particular episode myself, maybe in twenty or thirty years when i make my own cartoon, and then sixteen years after its initial run, I'll get an interview with a famous web personality, by way of hologram of course.

    On another note, would there be any possible legal issues between Doug, WB, and Amblin over something like this?

  8. I see no possible legal issues for anyone on any of this.

  9. Can WB develop a series like this in the future. I grew up Watching them, but those good times died and were replaced by nickelodeon sitcoms like Drake and Josh and iCarly (I like those sitcoms but I miss the old days cartoons like animaniacs), besides, the only "animaniacs type" cartoon WB is developing now is: The Looney Tunes show", ¿do you wish series like animaniacs to be developed some day in the future?

  10. I don't work for WB anymore...
    But if they need me to make a new show for them, they know where to find me.

  12. I think this image of Slappy and Skippy in the "circle" was part of the character selection process ¿right? for the show besides that image are there other pictures of "circle" characters, and are there images of canceled characters (besides the warner ducks)

  13. the warner ducks, skippy and slappy, and the hippos were the only ones given the "ring" treatment during the development process.
