X factor in the front of the world 🌎 was the Warner brothers 🚹🚹 and their sister 🚺 in the picture 📷 frame. Unfortunately, the Warner kids 👦👦👧 were entirely out of control, and wants to go on their adventures, until they've been captured. Since this time 🕙, the Warners were no 👎 longer to be released, 'cause they've been locked 🔒 away in the Warner bros studio water 🌊 tower 🗼. Petunia Lincon couldn't believe it when Ralph the Guard 💂 would make sense to be there in a few hours ago, which is why the Warners escaped. After a theme song 🎼 has finished ✔, the story begins when Petunia was starting telling Dr. Scratchansmiff the story of the Warner brothers 🚹🚹 and their sister 🚺 who lives in the water 🌊 tower 🗼. They lived in a beautiful place called Hollywood! Every children were very bored when no 👎 one will let the Warners escaped from the tower 🗼, and 4 Fairytale gates foundation at Hollywood park; Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow ❄ White and Little Red Riding Hood. When Dr. Scratchansmiff told Petunia all about feelings, she feels fine. She packed up ☝ her things in her backpack and get ready to go home, until something terrible happened. The people screaming 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫 a lot so loud and Petunia looked up ☝ and see 👀 what it is. It was the Warner brothers 🚹🚹 and their sister 🚺! As they have been locked 🔒 away in the water 🌊 tower 🗼, they managed to escape. They were names, Yakko, Wakko and Dot! "Did you miss us?" Dot smiled 😃.
"Who are you?" Petunia answered. "We're the Warner brothers 🚹🚹!" Yakko and Wakko said. "And the Warner sister 🚺!" Dot answered, as she and her brothers 🚹🚹 gave Petunia a kiss 💋. However, Petunia had accidentally spit out their kisses 💋💋💋 and think 🤔 that the Warners were stupid. As she tried to walk 🚶 home, the Warners blocked 🚫🚫🚫 her way. "What do you want?" Petunia answered nervously 😓. "We ask you first," Yakko grinned 😀. Petunia has no 👎 questions for them during at time 🕙. "Do you know who I am?" she said. Yakko guess her name; "Petunia Lincon daughter of Brave Heart ❤ Lion 🦁 world 🌎 famous assignment well as too the stars?" "Correct," Petunia answered, and Yakko shouted he won the game 🎮! But nobody wins anything. Petunia called out for her friend Lammy Sanban. "Lammy! I need you now!" she called. "Yes 👍 Petunia?" Lammy said. "Take these kids out to Hollywood park!' Petunia suggested. "Hellooooooo 👋 Nurse 😷!" the boys 👦👦 explained. They were fallen in love 💘💘! Dot wasn't sure Yakko and Wakko could give Lammy a kiss 💋, but Lammy has a better idea 💡! "Why don't you cute little kids follow me?" Lammy said as she carried the Warners out to Hollywood park. As Lammy led the Warners in the wrong direction, Dot saw 👀 Petunia's sister 🚺 Shovey Marks, which is known as Wedgie Women 🚺, LarryBoy's arch enemy. She's got snakes 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍 with coil arms for her hair 💇. Dot was afraid 😨 of her because snakes 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍 are creepy. At that moment, Petunia send her pals Cub Gilligan and Flippy SquarePants to put every spot for the Warners in her dad's couch 🛋 when Lammy came into the door 🚪. "The Warner brothers 🚹🚹 and their sister are here for our meeting Petunia," Lammy said. "And you gotta know who's gonna raise them."
"Their parents?" Flippy said. "I think 🤔 it's time 🕙 to getting down 👇 to business," Petunia answered. "Warners, everyone isn't going to like 👍 it when you make any jokes. This is no 👎 good for them. No 👎 more jokes! Understand?"
" Yes 👍 ma'am," the Warners said, nodded their heads 🙆🙆🙆. "Good 👍. Now, glide over the little table and sit on my dad's couch 🛋 over there," Petunia commanded. The Warners glide over the table and pretend as filly flowers 💐💐💐. "She said, no 👎 more jokes!" Lammy said. "This isn't a joke, it's invisible gag," Yakko grinned 😀. "But no 👎 more gags! Jokes are monkey 🐵stuff!" Cub said. "There are no 👎 monkey 🐵 stuff," Yakko answered. "Yes 👍, the monkey 🐵stuff! The monkey 🐵 stuff! You know, you moved around like 👍 a silly 😛 monkey 🐵!" Flippy said, using the monkey 🐵 voice. "Would ya care ❤ goofy like 👍 a monkey? That is the monkey 🐵 stuff!"
The Warners were very nervous 😓😓😓 and gets a great 👍 idea 💡💡💡! "Maybe you should see 👀 a piece of Congress," Wakko said. "I am the piece of Congress! But I'm telling you to tell us how'd you feel!" Flippy screamed 😫 angrily 😠. "We're just feel better than the people Flippy. Your sweet potato girlfriend Buttercup ain't leaving tomorrow," Dot smiled 😃. "Sweet potato? Who do you think 🤔 you're talking 👄 too?! I ain't let my friends the Powerpuff Girls leaving tomorrow for 40 years ago and I shall respect... Umph!"
Yakko gently put his yo-yo in Flippy's mouth 👄. "That'll close his mouth 👄," he commented. "Warners, you moved around like 👍 a silly 😛 monkey 🐵, but I ask you no 👎 more jokes and being able to put your yo-yo in Flippy's mouth 👄 is a bad 👎 idea 💡, except me," Petunia answered. "Your parents really miss you. See? Look!"
The Warners let out a gasped 😯😯😯! "We have our family," Yakko whispered. " Right," Wakko answered. "No 👎, Mom 👩, Dad 👨. Please come home," Dot said, pounding. "I CAN'T LET MY DAD 👨 LEAVE SOON!! I WANTED HIM TO COME HOME!!!"
"Look Warners, what Petunia was trying to saying is, your parents will come home soon," Cub said. "As cartoon characters, you have to be a smart children. So, you three got plenty of time 🕙 to getting down 👇 to business and your friends can be undone. Do you three understand?"
"Think 🤔 so Cub," the Warners said. After a short talk 👄👄👄👄 about their meeting, Flippy took Dot up ☝ to his room of his house 🏡 and decided to show her some pictures 📷📷📷. He wants her to tell him what they look like 👍! "Can you tell me what this is?" Flippy said. "I say you're not a very good 👍 artist 🎨," Dot said with a smile 😃. "But this is a butterfly, the ocean 🌊 and the flower 🌸."
With a very big heart ❤, Dot used her net to catch the butterfly. "Yep! That's a butterfly, the ocean 🌊 and the flower 🌸," Flippy answered, giving his new girlfriend a dollar 💲. Dot was very polite and hugging him with her arms around him and kiss 💋 him. Just then, Cub took Wakko to his room of his house 🏡 and decided to tell him what's going on his head 🙆. Wakko was disappointed 😞 and tell him his hat 👒 was wonderful than his siblings. This time 🕙, he said that his tail was swiftly and it's definitely worth it to hard to say anything to his parents without say anything to strangers. "That's right! Never take anything from a stranger, unless you have to ask your parents first," Cub answered. "Now, tell me. How'd you feel?"
"I feel fine," Wakko said with a smile 😃. "Good 👍 boy 👦!" Cub said. "Now we're getting somewhere, can you spare to take a deep breath?" "OK 👌," Wakko answered. Cub showed him how it's done ✔ and he took a deep breath. "I would like 👍 to have a prize possession please," Wakko answered. "Very well," Cub answered. "You may now have the most wonderful prize possession of the military action against Syria!"
He gave him a special occasion of the military action in the front of the world 🌎. His necklace 📿 has any words that says ' Together ❤❤ in Bikini 👙 Bottom.' The next day, Petunia and Lammy took Yakko to Petunia's house 🏡. "Now then, Yakko," Petunia answered. "I just want you to show me something behind your head 🙆 that goes nears your brain just like 👍 mine."
"Brain!" Yakko smiled 😃. "Hey! You've got something behind your head 🙆!"

Relive the very first episodic adventure of the Warner Brothers (and Sister!)- Yakko, Wakko, and Dot (She's the cute one!)- in this 1996 graphic novel from Scholastic.

The Warners are a failed cartoon experiment that proved to be too zany for 1940s theatre goers. So the cartoon siblings are locked up in the Warner Bros. Studio Water Tower. After 50 years, somehow, the toons are able to escape but they're driving everyone crazy. Enter renown psychologist to the stars to cure these forgotten celebrities of their madness. Only, when everything is done, it's going to the doctor who needs therapy!

I remember watching this Fox series when my little sister when it first appeared on TV in the 1990s. My sister was born 12 years after I was, so even though I was in high school, I ended up watching a lot of cartoons with her. Animaniacs was one of her favorites (except for Batman: The Animated Series- but who didn't love that show!) Oddly enough, a lot of folks I went to high school with liked this show too!

One thing that made the series so endearing to everyone was the Pinky and the Brain vignette that appeared on about every third or fourth episode of Animaniacs. Eventually, the stories about the two lab rats out to conquer the world was given its own show. Just don't expect to see them very much in this book. Though, Brain, the genius, and Pinky, the insane one, appear in a couple of scenes, it's merely as cameos. But if you are looking for P&B memorabilia, then this will be something you'd want to add to your collection.

De-Zanitized features TV cartoon quality artwork. But, without being in color, the all black & white Warner Brothers (and sister) get lost in the very detailed scenery. Regardless, this was still a fun read.

I found this at a yard sale for like a quarter. But you could find this book on Amazon for as low as a penny (plus shipping). Why, if you subscribe to Amazon's streaming service, you can buy the episode that this book is based on for a couple of bucks.

Animanics is one of the reasons that Warner Bros. and FOX dominated 90s cartoons. Filled with 1940s film references, clever puns, and wild sight gags, this was just one of several cartoons you could've seen every day after school. And it was one of the highlights of a decade that many consider having been pretty depressing.

If only cartoons today were of this quality...

I picked this up years ago in a used-book sale. I really enjoyed the show, and this captures the voice of the characters pretty well. I just found it a little more annoying to read than to watch - the drawings are black and white and I found it was a bit busy to hold my attention. Luckily it only took me about 10 minutes to read...funny, cute, not amazing.
