cartoon character's voice. Bart Simpson!
Animaniacs is known to show in over
20 countries throughout the world! Singapore, South Africa, New Zealand, and Hungary are among the lucky ones!

Tiny Toons Adventures, does the voices of Hello Nurse, Marita Hippo, Lady, Sasha, and Kiki (Girlfeathers)
Animaniacs won 3 Daytime Emmys. Best Theme Song of 1994,
Oustanding Animated Program, and Outstanding Children's Program 1996.
During the first season of Animaniacs,
it was ranked number 2 of all kid's shows at the time (second only to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)
The show has spawned off another
show, Pinky and the Brain, and in England, two comic books and a weekly strip
According to New YorkTimes (2/12/95) 21% of the weekday
watchers were adults over 25. Mostly due to the nature of jokes in the series (political references and Hollywood gossip to anme a few)
