The Warner Siblings - Yakko, Wakko, and Dot - more commonly known as the Animaniacs have traveled their way through time for a new continuation of the classic series that appeals to older fans with nostalgia and younger viewers watching these characters for the first time.
Animaniacs 2020 was a monumental success for Hulu, and as such, the series isn't set to stop anytime soon. With the inclusion of Pinky and the Brain, the new series makes it feel like the characters never left - barring the opening song, of course, which spans the time between the seasons.
In celebration of the reinvigorated success and love for these characters, Animaniacs voice actor Rob Paulsen (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), who voices Yakko and Pinky, is taking to the stage to perform Animaniacs in Concert! live for fans.
This Saturday, Rob and the crew will be in Phoenix, AZ. The box office will open at five, and the show starts at seven, taking place in The Madison Center For The Arts. Fans will be able to hear the updated version of Yakko's World as well.
Do you guys plan on checking out Animaniacs in Concert this weekend, or will you have to settle for streaming Animaniacs 2020, which has already been renewed for a third season, at home on Hulu?
Regardless of your thoughts, be sure to share them in the comments, and check out our exclusive video interview with Rob supporting Animaniacs in Concert below!
