Revision as of 16:37, 25 January 2014


Meet the wacky cast of the Warner Bros/Steven Spielberg-produced cartoon Animaniacs and its spin-off Pinky and The Brain. They are categorized by which characters starred in which segments. The characters that show up in Pinky and The Brain, including Pinky and the Brain, who started as characters as part of a segment of Animaniacs, should get listed in the Pinky and The Brain Character Sheet.

The Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister)

Main and Major Supporting Characters

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.

Tropes that apply to Yakko:

Tropes that apply to Wakko:

Tropes that apply to Dot:

Tropes that apply to two or all three of them:

 Jeff Bennett: Animaniacs gives you pants and no pants conveniently in one show!

Wakko: I have pants! See?

Jeff: Liar liar, pants on fire!

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.

Thaddeus Plotz

The CEO of Warner Bros. (in-universe, that is). Voiced by Frank Welker.

Minor Supporting and Recurring Characters

Mr. Director

A crazy director who looks, sounds, and behaves like a young Jerry Lewis. Voiced by Paul Rugg.

 Take the word 'animal'. Transpose the letters 'n' and 'm' and you get 'aminal'. That, in a nutshell, is comedy.

Ms. Flamiel

A schoolteacher who sometimes tries to educate the Warners, only for them to frustrate her in the process. Voiced by Tress MacNeille.

Baloney the Dinosaur

A sappy orange and light blue dinosaur who is an obvious parody of Barney and Friends. One of the few things the Warners are afraid of. Voiced by Jeff Bennett.

Francis "Pip" Pumphandle

Dot's Pet

A monstrous creature who is always kept inside a small, white box. The creature's appearance is inconsistent and its color varied, but its most common forms are a large bull-like creature, a plant parodying The Little Shop of Horrors, and a hairy form with enormous teeth. In one case, Mr. Director was her pet.

One Shot Characters

Professor Otto von Schnitzelbuskrankengescheitmeier

A fat, jolly German guy who taught the Warners the international friendship song.

Yakko, Wakko, and Dot's pet turkey who runs and dances to the tune of Turkey In The Straw.

A conceited news anchorman for the fictitious Newstime Live programme who refused to pay Yakko, Wakko, and Dot for a sandwich he had ordered. Voiced by Phil Hartman.

Duanne Sewer

A rival newsreader of the fictitious Newstime Live program and anchorwoman in Washington DC who appears in the episode "Broadcast Nuisance".

Wolf Spritzer

A newsreporter for the fictitious Newstime Live program who appears in "Broadcast Nuisance".

Calhoun Q. Capybara and Who-Who the Ring-Tailed Lemur

Buddy

One of the original stars of the Warner Bros. cartoon studio, Buddy was hastily created by animator Earl Duvall as an ersatz of Bosko the Talk Ink Kid, and from late 1933 to 1935, he served as the lead star of the Looney Tunes shorts. In real life, the character was reviled by the staff due to his complete and utter lack of personality, only magnified by the dull, plotless cartoons he starred in, and was immediately phased out once Porky Pig became the studio mascot. In-universe, he was upstaged by Yakko, Wakko and Dot, who were brought in to spice up his boring cartoons by bashing him in the head over and over again with a mallet. His sole appearance in the series is in "The Warners 65th Anniversary Special", where he comes back as a villain in an attempt to get revenge on the trio for destroying his career.
