The internet got its first look at the Animaniacs reboot today, 22 years after the final episode of the show aired. 13 new episodes are set to air on Hulu on November 20th, and another batch of 13 episodes are planned to be released sometime in 2021.


The trailer shows off the series' self-aware and adult-pitched sense of humor, as Yakko opens the trailer by bemoaning the flood of reboots in Hollywood before he, Wakko, and Dot take their reboot cash and the trailer proper begins.

The trailer also features some modern jokes, as Pinky bemoans getting "catfished" on dating apps, Yakko swallows a tablet (as in an iPad) and obtains the sum of all human knowledge, and a brief cut to what looks like an anime sketch featuring the three main characters.

While most of the internet was hyped for the trailer, there were some grumblings about what was seen as political content in the trailer, including a Trump-like Cyclops and Dot saying "never mansplain-y" during the theme song.


This tweet by user @PelleCreepy was the loudest among a minority of commenters who bemoaned the trailer's political humor, but as rumors of backlash spread on Twitter, users brought up plenty of times in the Animaniacs original run where the show went for political jokes and satire.


Still, the majority of commentary after the trailer dropped was excitement, particularly about the half-second shot showing Yakko, Wakko and Dot as anime characters.


By the looks of the trailer, it seems like the Animaniacs reboot might just be one of the only good things to come out of 2020.
