Status: Non-existent
Animaniacs is an animated series created by Tom Ruegger. It primarily features comedy skits centering around a large cast of characters, such as Yakko, Wakko, and Dot (or "The Warner Brothers and Sister"), two lab mice named Pinky and Brain, a grumpy squirrel named Slappy Squirrel, and various others.
One character, Minerva Mink, only had two shorts released where she appeared: Meet Minerva and Moon Over Minerva.
