Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs, usually referred to as the shorter title Animaniacs, is an American animated television series, distributed by Warner Bros. and produced by Amblin Entertainment. The cartoon was the second animated series produced by the collaboration of Steven Spielberg and Warner Bros. Animation during the animation renaissance of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The studio's first series, Tiny Toon Adventures, had proved to be a big hit among younger viewing audiences, and it had attracted a sizeable number of adult viewers as well. The Animaniacs writers and animators, led by senior producer Tom Ruegger, used the experience gained from the previous series to create brand new animated characters that were cast in the mould of Chuck Jones and Tex Avery's creations.[1]
