First clip of the new Animaniacs cartoon on Hulu (UP: New trailer!)

One, I think it looks INSANELY nitpicky to compare old hand drawn to new digital hand drawn. It's definitely the same style in new hardware so to speak. Second, there's quite a difference between original human characters (the pilgrim I see in the thumbnail) like what you posted and the actual celebrity likenesses that were featured in the original. On my phone, but if you find an episode with an actual celebrity likeness it definitely looks more like the new clip as far as art style goes.
It looks incredibly similar to me outside of the fact the new version is created digitally and they didn't do much with varying line weights and such.

Hm, so not even at hint at any other characters. Wonder if it's just Animaniacs and Pinky and Brain?
This looks surprisingly great!
I wonder if they'll take advantage of Hulu to be more raunchy?
EDIT: Something I noticed; they seem to be taking advantage of the digital art to use camera angles to make the warner brothers and sister look more like animals; you can see this at 0:53 in the clip which Yakoo's muzzle is actually visible.
Given current internet culture, I have to wonder: Will they continue with the Warner Brother's sexism and women chasing? And if so: Will they run into a furry?
It'd be hysterical if they run into a grown up Elmira character with a fur suit...and maybe a little creepy too.
It's a little stiffer, but when they choose to really animate shots it looks fantastic. The head turns and nods are great. It's less "zany" but still well animated when necessary. Really looking forward to it.
That new trailer really didn't do it for me. A lot of the jokes were typical reboot "wow look how different things are after 20 years" affair, and a lot of "funny cell phone" humor. Feels a lot like the newer Futurama episodes where they're a little too late to the self-parody and technological observation bandwagon. Hopefully that's just the first episode or two.
Animation is looking pretty good though.

Seems pretty fitting considering how dated many of the references from the original series could be.
yea like When they had the Rocko Modern Life rebot last year. "look we are in the 21th century now!" "ipads, iphone, internet!" it got old with Rocko reboot.
The reactions to modern pop culture is exactly on par with old Animiacs. That was kind of their whole thing.
They were locked in a vault for decades so they're awareness of the modern world constantly needed to be explained. The show itself was a hodgepodge of references to pop culture from the 30s/40s and the 90's.
This is exactly what I expected and the humor is better than I had hoped.

Yeah this all feels very much in line with the original series. People might not care for those jokes but it's classic Animaniacs.
The new digital animation definitely looks different from the old cel stuff, but damn if there isn't a ton of love and care put into it. All the subtle little flourishes and details, the expressiveness of the characters, it's all wonderful.
Man, it feels like Animaniacs, hope they can stick the landing.
And what the heck are Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear doing there?

everything leading up to this point has indicated that its just those two groups.
I didn't watch the whole trailer cause i want to keep the surprise, but the beginning was really good!
I would be surprised if the others didn't at least make an appearance of some sort. But the other segments were never as good as the Warners and pinky/brain
I will argue that Slappy's segments were on par with them.
After rewatching all of the original Animaniacs last year, as an adult I appreciate Slappy & Skippy way more now, lol
tbh, Rocko's wasn't that bad. The first five minutes overloads on that one single joke, but the rest of that special played out much like the original series' tone and humor, but in a modern setting of course.
i can agree with that, but i still dont like it very much. i really didnt like it when i was younger, though, so maybe some of that is holding over
The only two groups that matter to me!
Though I'll definitely give Slappy an honourable mention and errr, where does chicken boo land here?

I hope not. I don't need it super sanitized, but I'd like my kid to be able to enjoy it like I did back in the day.
Huckleberry Hound, Henery Hawk(from Foghorn Leghorn cartoons), Yakky Doodle(not to be mistaken for the little duck from Tom and Jerry), and Yogi and Boo Boo.
Is that the teeth brushing PSA ad dino?
EDIT: No, he was green. But this one is still familiar.
the Cupid above the pig on the left looks familiar too.
I remember Les Miseranimals vividly. Wonder if we can get a Rita & Runt take on Hamilton.
I fully expect Rita & Runt to appear, if only for their takes on modern music.
Something like Goodfeathers might be a bit dated but then again, The Godfather and Goodfellas are timeless so...
Slappy is eternal
They can also really push buttons with Chicken Boo if they wanted
