  5. True or false: "Prom Night" was made and animated seasons ago and was just sitting around in the can before it was inserted into the episode listed here. This is what I've heard; is it true? And if true, what else was lying around that never made it?

  6. It may have been sitting around...but not too long...maybe a year. We used virtually everything we sent into production. No complete Animaniacs segment sent into production was ever jettison.

    1. That's good to know. Of course I wish there were those unreleased gems we've all have passed around rumors of.
