Today’s episode features a discussion of episode 42, where the Warners interview an elderly animator in “Animator’s Alley,” the Hip Hippos “Can’t Buy a Thrill” and a rodent goes “Hollywoodchuck.”
Animaniacs S01E42 Animator’s Alley/Can’t Buy a Thrill/Hollywoodchuck
Each and every week, your hosts revisit an episode of the series in the order in which they first premiered. They discuss their favorite jokes, gags, and discuss all the cultural references they can find! Each episode is then given a “Water Tower Rating” by the hosts. How many water towers will this episode get?
Animator’s Alley
The Warners interview Cappy, an old animator from the Warner Bros. Studio. They end up finding a very creative way to get away from his non-stop rambling. They sure weren’t dummies!
Can’t Buy a Thrill
The Hip Hippos are bored so they try in vain to seek adventure using a travel guide for the rich. In the end they hurt Gina Embryo repeatadly and then finally realize that everything is perfectly fine with their lives.
Although the travel guide provided one small Spielberg reference, the hosts discuss how this cartoon would have been better with more Spielberg connections. Especially “Jaws.”
Hollywoodchuck
A woodchuck named Baynarts changes his name and tries to make it big in Hollywood. All he ends up making is a huge list of people he doesn’t like.
