’90s Cartoons Were Freakin’ Weird, and I Loved It

Last month, it was announced that 25 years’ worth of Nicktoon characters—possibly everyone from Eliza Thornberry to Invader Zim to Ginger to Doug—will join forces in one all-star, ensemble, Avengers-style movie. A lot of these guys were on the airwaves back in the ‘90s. Seeing the fan-made promo images made me nostalgic. But it also…

Expanded Animaniacs “States & Capitals” Song Includes The Entire World

Remember Wakko’s informative, catchy “50 States and Their Capitals” song from the classic ’90s cartoon Animaniacs? Well, this gentleman named Kylan has remade the song to include both every nation on the planet, and their capitals, too. It’s beyond impressive (and still ridiculously catchy). [Via Uproxx]

Nursery School named after Pinky And The Brain is certainly up to no good

The Pinky and the Brain School is a real school that is 100% named after the adorable Animaniacs cartoon duo. Located in the capital city of Nigeria, we can only imagine what the classes are like. But they all should only have one goal — to try to take over the world. Narf! [via Nerdcore]

Batman’s Cartoon Love Letter A Mite Perfect

Friday’s Batman: The Brave And The Bold abandoned the familiar formula of the series for something much more unexpected: A love letter to animation full of in-jokes, easter eggs, and even jabs at fanboys who don’t dig the show’s upbeat style. We kind of think we loved it. Given the show’s well-established love of easter…

Elvis Has Left the Planet

Hip-shaking, pill-popping rocker Elvis Presley officially died in 1977, but he keeps popping up, at least in science fiction. Think Elvis lives?
