#Pinky elmyra and the brain series
There’s maybe a few jokes that work on their own merit but really, everything in this series that works is either purely because of the insanely talented voice case or it’s an identical joke that they dragged over from Pinky & The Brain… except it’s made dumber because they threw in Elmyra for no reason. That’s pretty much it though, it’s relying on actors who are absolutely amazing, but could be putting these voices into better cartoons. The series also got a daytime Emmy, beating such shows as Brand Spanking New! Doug, The New Batman Adventures, Superman, Arthur and Little Bear… all those shows lost, to a show that is the textbook definition of “Producer meddling” They’re so good that Rob and Cree both got nominated for Annie Awards, Rob actually won it for this series. Jokes that probably shouldn’t work are made hilarious just by how these three deliver them. Maurice LaMarche, Rob Paulsen and Cree Summer have the task of voicing the three leads and they work their magic like nothing else. Never ever EVER let it be said that voice actors aren’t important. What Worked For Pinky, Elmyra And The Brain? Yeah, you can tell this show is going to have some problems. They took the incredibly smart and witty show about two mice determined to take over the world, a show that could leap from an episode dedicated to singing about the parts of the human brain to taking over the world using a parody of the Macarena, and they decided to put it in the suburbs. “Steven Spielberg Presents the Further Adventures of Pinky & The Brain” (tentative title), an animated comedy from Steven Spielberg which takes a fresh approach to popular favorites as Pinky and The Brain move from ACME Labs to America’s suburbs when they are adopted by the extremely excitable Elmyra In fact, let me quote the absolutely amazing press release that the network sent out at the time when they unveiled this new show.
This was the result of some executive demanding that the creators take Pinky and the Brain and make it more like The Simpsons… not even a joke there, they wanted a sitcom just like what Fox had been living off of for a decade at that point. Sure, Pinky and the Brain was a well-respected show getting good ratings, great reviews and was quickly becoming a bona fide classic but you know what it needed? That one joke character from Tiny Toons that kept popping up to terrorise everyone by being overly affectionate and had the IQ of a very stupid flea. Pinky, Elmyra And The Brain: What Was It?Īfter several seasons of Pinky And The Brain, the network wanted something else.
