Pinky and the Brain is an American animated television
series.
The characters Pinky and the Brain first appeared in 1993 as a
recurring segment on the show Animaniacs. From 1995 to 1998, Pinky
and the Brain were spun off into their own show on The WB
Television Network, Steven Spielberg Presents Pinky and the Brain,
with 65 episodes produced by Steven Spielberg and Warner Bros.
Animation. Later, they appeared in the unsuccessful series, Steven
Spielberg Presents Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain.
Pinky and Brain are genetically enhanced laboratory mice who reside
in a cage in the Acme Labs research facility. Brain is
self-centered and scheming; Pinky is good-natured but feebleminded.
In each episode, Brain devises a new plan to take over the world,
which ultimately ends in failure, usually due to Pinky's idiocy or
the impossibility of Brain's plan. In common with many other
Animaniacs shorts, many episodes are in some way a parody of
something else, usually a film or novel. The opening song is
preceded by the following dialogue:
Pinky: "Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?"
The Brain: "The same thing we do every night, Pinky—try to
take over the world!"
Once you get your hands on The Brain, you can try to find his
lost friend - Pinky.
And remember to bring your own pen!
