Because this TV series is in the same universe as Looney Tunes, our wiki has articles about the series.

Template:Infobox Series Pinky and the Brain is an American animated television series and spinoff of Animaniacs starring Pinky and The Brain. The show ran from 1995 and 1998 on Kids' WB!. The pair later spun off into their second and last series, Pinky, Elmyra, & The Brain, paired with Tiny Toon Adventures star, Elmyra Duff. The executive producer for the show was Steven Spielberg.

Despite the characters getting their own show, Pinky and the Brain still appeared in two more short segments as well as cameos on their original show Animaniacs. They also appeared on the 1999 direct-to-video feature Wakko's Wish.

Reruns aired on The WB, Kids WB, Nickelodeon, Nicktoons and Disney XD. As of November 2016, there are no more reruns of the show, though all sixty-five episodes of the show, plus Pinky, Elmyra, & The Brain, are able to stream on Hulu as of January 2018.

Plot

Pinky and Brain are genetically enhanced laboratory mice who reside in a cage in the Acme Labs research facility to test their unique personalities. Brain's personality is self-centered and scheming, and Pinky's personality is good-natured but feeble-minded. In each episode, Brain devises a new plan to take over the world, which ultimately ends in failure, usually due to Pinky's idiocy or the impossibility of Brain's plan.

The bulk of every episode involves one of Brain's plans for world domination with Pinky's assistance and the ultimate failure of that plan. One centers on his rival Snowball's plan to take over the world using Microsponge. Another episode features Brain's single day where he tries to do anything but take over the world; in the end, a group of people vote that he should take over the world on the one day he does not want to.

There is very little continuity between episodes outside of the common fixtures of the mice, though some plans for world domination from early episodes are subsequently mentioned in later episodes (for example, Brain's "human suit" used in "Win Big" reappears when Brain faces Snowball in "Snowball").

Pinky and the Brain will later appear in the Animaniacs revival with their own segments. This time though, they will make cameos in every episode should they not have their own segment. The new series is scheduled to air in 2020.[1]
