Join your hosts Joey, Nathan and Kelly in the “Animanicast!” A podcast dedicated to the classic 90’s cartoon show Animaniacs! On today’s show we get a family of Rueggers and party with Steven! The hosts have a great time dissecting episode 79 which features Slappy adopting a baby bird in “My Mother the Squirrel,” the Warners throwing a party, the Flame helping write the National Anthem, and the Little Blue Bird returning to sing “The Twelve Days of Christmas” with lots of turtledoves.
Animanicast #79: Discussing Animaniacs Episode 79: My Mother the Squirrel/The Party/Oh! Say Can You See/The Twelve Days of Christmas Song
Each and every week, Joey, Nathan and Kelly revisit an episode of Animaniacs in the order in which they first premiered. They discuss their favorite jokes, gags, and discuss all the cultural references they can find in “My Mother the Squirrel,” “The Party,” “Oh! ” Say Can You See,” and “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”
My Mother the Squirrel/The Party/Oh! Say Can You See/The Twelve Days of Christmas Song
My Mother the Squirrel
Little Blue Bird from the cartoon “Wild Blue Yonder” returns but this time he mistakes Slappy for his mother. This is a very cute segment, with two Rueggers in it and with plenty for the hosts to discuss
The Party
The Warners are having a fancy pants party and just about everyone is invited. Plotz doesn’t want to go, until he hears that “Steven” is going to be there. When guests arrive, Wakko is wearing pants! And Christopher Walken is there. Plotz is not having fun at the party, and is just about to leave when Steven finally arrives… just not the Steven he was expecting. This is a fun episode, and you can bet Kelly was excited to talk about Steven.
Oh! Say Can You See
The Flame is back and this time he is helping write the Star Spangled Banner. Luke Ruegger’s appearance makes this the third Ruegger brother to appear in this episode!
The Twelve Days of Christmas Song
Little Blue Bird performs a special rendition of The Twelve Days of Christmas with the Animaniacs orchestra. The hosts discuss the backstory of this short, but very cute segment.
