  1. "TV will rot your brain!" Remember when we said that?

    Now we're saying it about AI, and we're missing the plot. If you're exhausted by the doomism around AI, I wrote a guide on how to actually fight back...

    ...all without throwing neurodivergent folks who use cognitive prostheses under the bus. 💜 🤖

  5. I know this is very out-of-season for a Christmas song, but first off, Christmas songs can bring good mood, and also, when have I ever needed an excuse to post Animaniacs stuff? 😁

    So, yeah:

    "We Could Try and Do It, Santa" Song | Animaniacs | Hulu
    youtube.com/watch?v=Igc-0Z7Kh6M

    Also:
    1. I love the idea of Santa being a muscular guy with big cans of protein powder
    2. Hardly surprising, but I want to have Dot on my lap/belly like that, as well, I gotta become Santa, or something. 😁🥰

  9. Animaniacs on the SNES

    Developed and published by Konami released in 1994

    Although Konami developed both the SNES and Mega Drive versions they're both completely different games.

  10. They instead went with (translated to English):

    "If this is a chapel, where are all the drummers and such?"

    That way they could basically make a very similar joke by using the second word of "Sistine Chapel" instead of the first.

    And as someone who often tries to explain or translate puns, I'm really impressed how well the translation team for Animaniacs did MANY jokes like that back then.

    -

    Compare that to Simpsons, where even some basic words were translated like translators totally lacked context.
    (Translating "tear" in spacetime (fabric tearing) with the word for "tear" (crying), for example.

    -

    So, yeah, good translation is an art in itself!

  12. As I talked about language and Dot Warner (Animaniacs), I wanna say something positive about languages and translations:

    The original Animaniacs, now that I know English and thus know both versions, had a fantastic German translation!

    Animaniacs used MANY puns and wordplays. These would just not work translated directly. So they made fitting, similar jokes in German, and they worked REALLY well.

    One example:

    "This is the sistine chapel!"
    "Sixteenth chapel? What have you done with the other 15?"

    This would not work in German, because the building's first part, "Sixtinisch" sounds too different from "sechzehn", the German word for 16.

    BUT: we also use the same word for chapel (Building) and chapel (group of musicians), both being "Kapelle".

    Thus: (next Toot)

  16. I have to say, I'm a bit surprised.

    Don't get me wrong, when it comes to Animaniacs, my main attention certainly lies with Dot!

    But come on, Ditto from the episode "The island of Dr Warneau" is also damn cute, right?!

    So, how come Ditto only has, like, three fanarts on e621? Girl deserves hugs and cuddles as well!
    Maybe I need to commission some, at some point. 😊

  18. CW: Goof, Capitalism, Unfathomably large fishes eating eachother

    So, I guess Netflix is gonna buy Warner Brothers from Warner Bros. Discovery.

    Which leaves the question: Does that include the Warner Sister Dot, or will she stay with Discovery?

  20. For all my newer followers: You might've missed it, but I'm a huge fan of The Animaniacs, the old show and the new seasons from 2020.

    And I can get a little bit hyped up about Dot especially.

    But my last rewatch is only a few months away, so, you still have time until I do it again and spam you all with it all over. 😁

  22. Yikes.

    As someone pointed out, it's the 30th anniversary of Pinky and The Brain!

    Here's a little something to help celebrate...

  24. Aaaand Animaniacs movie "Wakko's Wish" watched!

    There doesn't actually happen too much in it, but it's a really cute and fun movie and the ending concludes several of the show's running gags.

    It's really nice, and it's a pity we didn't get a second movie after the "reboot".

    To add, have two screenshots from it, of Dot, obviously. Even though Skippy also gets a cute little situation in the movie, but, well, see that for yourself.

    Funny enough, the plot of this movie is basically the same that "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" would later use. The Puss in Boots movie is, obviously, much more complex and serious, of course!

    For Dot:
    Aww, look at her! I also want her to sleep cuddled up to me like that. And that cute look, cuddled against Yakko's hand! ❤️

  26. I (sadly) finished all episodes of the original Animaniacs.

    Now I'm watching the DVD interviews that the US DVD seems to have, and I really enjoy some behind the scenes stuff.

    I also love interviews with all the awesome voice actors. It's so impressive how even people aged 60+ can still do such awesome silly-childish voices.
    I mean, I can barely keep up my own voice. 😁

    So, that's all really impressive and certainly so much work from all the staff!

    Try to stay alive, every former Warner talent! As soon as I'm a millionaire we'll have another Animaniacs season!

    I'll bring back the gag credits and Slappy Squirrel!
