I've been looking for it online, and WB hasn't released the last volume of Animaniacs. And believe me, there is demand for it. On Youtube, other fans have been trying to put together a petition to get WB to release it. It's too bad, because my all time favourite Slappy episode, "Bully for Skippy", would have been on there.Marlenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469587717890903237.post-64006197356964956392011-09-24T07:38:12.461-07:002011-09-24T07:38:12.461-07:00You know, I was thinking of an update to this &quo...You know, I was thinking of an update to this "Animaniacs" two-parter where instead of getting their script turned into a movie, the sibs would want to make an album and needed Plotz to green-light it, but his response would be the same. Because of this, there would be some changes such as the sibs trying to get a gig instead of getting someone to finance the movie (once Plotz rejects the script), Plotz reflecting on an ended franchise ("Harry Potter") instead of banking on "Jamalot", and an extended version of "Variety Speak" (combining the cartoon version and the "Hooray For North Hollywood" version) at the beginning to set the updated plot in motion. Of course, this is just my take. It would be nice to see the original two-parter on DVD either on its own or as part of "Animaniacs Volume 4", whenever the WB studio does decide to release that.Acme Girlhttp://toonsntunes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469587717890903237.post-87826898187892819272011-02-28T22:55:52.137-08:002011-02-28T22:55:52.137-08:00Nicely done
