But in the end, I think "What's Opera, Doc?" is a final reminder of Jones probably wanting to be Disney, even when he didn't. The influence is there, and I get why he did it and made something memorable, but this shouldn't just be his or WB's entire animated legacy in the classic era.

I got into a bit of a conversation today that I need to just vent and get my feelings about out regarding one of the most lauded and "beloved" WB shorts of all time; but that I have a way more complex and less "praising" feeling about in my own personal opinion.

So...let's talk "What's Opera, Doc?"
November 1, 2025 at 12:23 PM
Well...I did it. May as well bookend the watch with the same shot as the beginning...only of course 99 episodes and a movie later.

I can't believe it took me this long to rewatch "Animaniacs"...and I'm glad I did.

Only regret: still needs more Minerva Mink. (but thems the breaks with kids shows)

I don't know how far I'll get or if I'll finish the series today, but I may as well get it started. Like yesterday, not too much to say since no nostalgia but...

ANIMANIACS MARATHON, STAGE 6, GO!
September 28, 2025 at 12:33 PM
I won't be as active as I was with the Fox era but if I have any thoughts, it will be here. (and I may need an upcoming holiday to finish it)

Animaniacs Marathon Phase 5 (into the WB era), GO!

RIGHT! (I had to with the first short of this era)

I'm really close to the end of the Fox era, so let's see if I can get there and then get through the...less-than-stellar WB stuff next week.

Animaniacs marathon, phase 4 is go!
September 21, 2025 at 12:38 PM
This has been a horrible week. But at least I can laugh off the weekend...I hope.

Animaniacs marathon, stage 3, starts now!
September 20, 2025 at 12:46 PM
So you can get this deep with this lady but Minerva gets hers erased? Really?
September 15, 2025 at 12:04 AM
Yeah this dress is iconic.
September 14, 2025 at 8:06 PM
Even with...these moments.
September 14, 2025 at 7:59 PM
I wish I had a girl that could do this to me.
September 14, 2025 at 7:59 PM
Timing is everything to show what was attempted to be removed.
September 14, 2025 at 7:55 PM
Behold, Dot's true form.
September 14, 2025 at 7:49 PM
A moment of silence for Buttons and all he puts up with.

Shocked they never used this ending outside this episode.

THE SHIP IN THIS SHORT IS THE SATELLITE OF LOVE!?

I guess this movie was actually in the not too distant future...Next Sunday, AD.

Took us 25 episodes but we finally get her. And she's not censored either!
September 14, 2025 at 5:51 PM
Probably not as long and not as many episodes with more breaks, but let's at least get started: Animaniacs series watch set 2: GO!
September 14, 2025 at 3:26 PM
Perfect ending, 10/10, greatest film in the history of cinema.

"All is strange and vague."

"Are we dead?"

"Or is this Ohio?"

You're stuck in this whether you want to be or not, Scratchy.
September 13, 2025 at 8:03 PM
Happy Wakko found somewhere comfy.
September 13, 2025 at 2:36 PM
Yeah you can never escape them even in the astral plane.
