Animaniacs writers react to not being rehired for the Reboot

Wow Paul Rugg’s was deleted right after I saved the screen shot!

Ruegger has made no outward reactions, but he’s been hustling, doing podcast interviews every week about Animaniacs since the reboot rumor started. He’s been posting pics of the old crew and talking about it all over his facebook even though he has new shows to share. He really wanted this. He created the Warners among other memorable Animaniacs characters. He was in charge of the show under Spielberg and hired on most of the writers personally.

Paul Rugg and John P Mccann co produced Freakazoid together. You would know Paul as the voice of Mr. Director from Animaniacs, and Freakazoid himself as well.

SHHHHOOOOT I didn’t get the ‘see more’ version!! Ugh and it’s gone forever I’m upset!!! I don’t remember if he said much more…

Sherri Stoner created/wrote/voiced Slappy Squirrel

[Peter Hastings wrote many Pinky and the Brain episodes and I think Deanna Oliver created either Chicken Boo or Buttons and Mindy?]

Nate Ruegger, the voice of Skippy, is silent so far, like his dad. 

They better hire back these writers. This reboot will be trash just like most other reboots without them. Animaniacs is a hard show to write for, and the writers who were in the original are what made the original great. Maybe a few new writers to “freshen it up” but 90% of the writers on the reboot should be the ones from the original. The show was great because the entire team, from the writers to the musicians to the producers to the voice actors, worked so well together.

I have absolutely no hope for this reboot unless as much of the crew as possible is brought back.
