Where We Made "Animaniacs"

The Imperial Bank Building in Sherman Oaks, CA, where we made Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid, Batman: The Animated Series, Road Rovers and Histeria. These paintings of our home base were made by Alfred Gimeno's crew. (They loved their Godzilla, especially Paul Trandahl!)

Miss Information from "Histeria!" -- by Bob Doucette

This stunning portrait of Miss Information was painted by the producer of  the Histeria television series, Bob Doucette.   You can see more of Bob's brilliant artwork at http://bobdoucette.com.  

Miss Information was Histeria's tour guide through history.  The role was performed by the hilarious comedienne and voice over artist Laraine Newman.    If you want to see and hear Laraine in action, you'll find her impressive list of credits at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0628170/ .
