Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight? The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!

Pinky and the Brain, those crazy pint sized world conquerers. Originally part of Animaniacs they branched off into their own daily afternoon cartoon show. Despite the fact that I was in high school then, I was glued to my set to see how they'd try to conquer the world next.

Honestly, Pinky and the Brain were not my favorite Animaniacs side characters. Personally that honor went to Rita and Runt (definitely Rita and Runt, definitely.) Still, the two characters can hold a show fairly well and I never found myself bored watching all four discs of it. Sure plenty of the jokes are dated (what kid today knows about Ross Perot?) but then again, like Animaniacs, this is not your average cartoon for kids and is enjoyable to all audiences with a sense of humor.

As for the presentation on the disc itself, it's about the same as Animaniacs. The extras are nice but a bit sparse. Though, at times I still wonder what else they could have added. The video quality is acceptable and never once was I distracted by any serious artifacts or glitches.

In short, I love this show!
