“Come join the Warner Brothers – and the Warner sister Dot!”
According to Indiewire, Amblin Television and Warner Bros. Animation are launching a brand new version of the hit 1990s cartoon. The original ran between 1993 and 1995 spawning the pimetrime spinoff Pinky and the Brain.
The potential reboot was inspired by the original’s new surge in popularity after arriving on Netflix last year.
Steven Spielberg, who developed the original as a follow-up to the success of his Tiny Toon Adventures, is expected to be on board in crafting the updated version. It’s still only in the early stages of development.
According to Indiewire, the series will be “thoroughly engaging and highly kinetic” and should “appeal to adults as well as children, reminds us of the glory days of Hollywood animation and brings that period up-to-date with sparkling characters, witty dialogue, and stunning production.” Spielberg will executive produce while Rich Arons and Sherri Stoner will serve as senior producers.
