Animaniacs/Characters: Difference between revisions

 

=== Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner ===

The Warner siblings who are the most prominent stars of the show, and as such, get the most screentime. According to the show's backstory, they were created to serve as comic relief to the very dull ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' character Buddy, but proved to be so troublesome that they were locked in the Warner Bros. Studio Water Tower. Yakko is the talkative, Groucho Marx-esque one who just wears pants, Wakko is the short one with a baseball cap and an extreme appetite, and Dot is the cute one. Voiced by [[Rob Paulsen]], Jess Harnell, and [[Tress MacNeille]], respectively.

 

 

=== Ralph Timothy Guard ===

An overweight Warner Bros. studio security guard who is always trying, but never succeeding, to capture the Warners and return them to the water tower. Voiced by [[Frank Welker]].

 

 

=== Dr. Otto von Scratchansniff ===

The Warner Bros. studio psychiatrist. He has the unfortunate duty of trying to tame the Warners, which always leads to him getting utterly frustrated (and in the case of his first sessions with them, tearing out his hair). Voiced by [[Rob Paulsen]].

 

 

=== Hello Nurse ===

Scratchansniff's ravishing assistant whom Yakko and Wakko have the hots for. As you can guess, she is the [[Trope Namer]] for [[Hello Nurse]]. Voiced by [[Tress MacNeille]].

 

 

=== Slappy Squirrel ===

A cranky squirrel who was once a ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' star (in-universe, that is). Voiced by Sherri Stoner, who was also one of the show's chief writers.

 

 

=== Skippy Squirrel ===

Slappy's nephew who looks up to her. Voiced by Nathan Ruegger.

 

 

=== Walter Wolf, Sid the Squid, and Beanie the Brain-Dead Bison ===

Three of Slappy's old nemesises from her cartoons, who continually plot revenge on her, but still never succeed at doing her in. Walter was initially voiced by Frank Welker but for his remaining appearances he was voiced by Jess Harnell for unknown reasons, Sid was voiced by Jackie Burns and Beanie was voiced by Avery Schreiber.

 

 

=== The Goodfeathers ===

Bobby is the leader of the main three pigeons. Depending on his mood, he can be the [[Only Sane Man]] who tries to keep Pesto in line or just sit back and laugh at Squit's misfortune. Pesto is the pigeon with a [[Hair Trigger Temper]], and is prone to taking offense at any comment given to him, even if it's in a good light, and beats up Squit for it. Squit is the rookie who joins the Goodfeathers in the first short and spends the rest of them surviving day to day life in the constant presence of the [[Hair Trigger Temper|ever-violent]] Pesto.

 

 

=== Solley (a.k.a. The Godpigeon) ===

The Don of the Goodfeathers enterprise. Typically enters a scene, dispenses some vaguely wise-sounding gibberish, chuckles a little and leaves. Held in very high regard by the other birds.

 

 

=== The Girlfeathers, Sasha, Kiki, and Lana ===

Sasha is Squit's girlfriend and Pesto's sister, Kiki is Pesto's girlfriend, and Lana is Bobby's girlfriend.
