Animaniacs is a cartoon series created by Tom Ruegger and executive produced by Steven Spielberg for Warner Bros. Animation that aired from September 1993 to November 1998, and has achieved cult success for many years afterwards.

It consists of cartoon segments focusing on various characters in each episode, mainly the adventures of Yakko, Wakko and Dot (introduced in Tiny Toon Adventures), three cartoon siblings who were locked inside the Warner Bros. water tower for six decades in the 1930's. One of its segments, Pinky and the Brain, was successful enough to earn its own spin-off series.
