Animaniacs theme song

The theme song of Animaniacs is, as its title suggests, the song that begins every episode of Animaniacs and its reboot (with the exception of episodes 65 and 83 of the original series). The song describes the set-up of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot's zany adventures and also introduces several of the other major characters on the show (or, in the case of the reboot, poke fun of the modern-day world).

The theme was composed by Richard Stone and the lyrics by creator Tom Ruegger. The original main title was directed by Rich Arons and animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha (with additional scenes in seasons 3-5 by Wang); while the reboot's main title was animated by Snipple Animation Studios (with additional scenes being done in-house at Warner Bros. Animation).

The theme has been translated in 21 languages including French (and partially in Freakazoid in Norwegian).

Дойде и нашият Аниманиашки час! Да се представим тук сега пред вас: Няма да оставим никого да дреме, ставайте и гледайте! За "Аниманиаците" е време!
 * -|Lyrics=

Със вас са братя Уорнър и сестра им - Дот. Побъркахме наоколо целия народ. Заключиха ни в кулата, от нас се отърваха. Но даже не помисляйте, че така ни спряха!

Никой да не дреме, за "Аниманиаците" е време! Дот е сладка, Якко е як. Уакко пък не е глупак! На Клинтън такта отмерва със крак. Никой да не дреме, за "Аниманиаците" е време!

С нас са Брейн и Пинки. Откачените картинки. Добрите момчета са опасни, но на Слапи ѝ са ясни. Бътънс Минди гони. Рита пее за милиони. Сценарият ни липсата го хвана. Ще падне веселба голяма. Никой да не дреме, за "Аниманиаците" е време!

Сключихме договор за щуро изпълнение. Да го изпълним имаме намерение. Ние сме "Аниманиаците!" Луди без съмнение. Пинки и Брейн са наред. "Аниманиаци" - пълен напред! It came our Animaniac's hour! Let's introduce us in front of you right now: We won't let anyone taking a nap, get up and watch! It's time for the Animaniacs!
 * -|Translation=

Warner brothers are with you and their sister - Dot. We drove crazy around the whole nation. They locked us in the tower, they got rid of us. But don't you ever think about that they stopped us.

No one should take a nap, it's time for the Animaniacs! Dot is cute, Yakko is cool. Again Wakko is not stupid. Clinton's tact is measured by foot. No one should take a nap, it's time for the Animaniacs!

Brain and Pinky are with us. The crazy cartoon guys. The good guys are dangerous but to Slappy is clear. Buttons chases Mindy. Rita sings for millions. Our script got caught missing. There will be a lot of fun. No one should take a nap, it's time for the Animaniacs!

We've made a deal for a madcap performance. We have an intention to perform it. We are the Animaniacs! Crazy without a doubt. Pinky and Brain are alright. Animaniacs - straight forward!

Mi dečki braća Warner, i ja cura sestra Dot! U Warneru se zna da mi smo ludi sto na sat! Zatvore nas u toranja, al' vani smo za tren! Kog' zeznemo taj misli da je maljem udaren!

Animanijaci smo! Dot je slatka, Yakko jak! Wakko jede kao slon, Bill mu svira saksofon, k'o Animanijak!

Jer Umac opet smišlja kako vladat svemirom. Na istoj žici nikad nemoj stajat s Pljuskicom! Gumbić spasi Mindy, a Rita vježba glas! Jer pisac zezne, nemaš tekst, bez probe znamo se!

Animanijaci smo! Na papiru piše to! Da šašavi smo mi, to za tren ćeš vidjeti!

Mi Animani, pravi vragolani! (Bolji nego lani!) Animanijak! To si i ti! We are Animaniacs! Here's antics for the class! They will laugh out loud, those who decide to watch us. It's Animaniacs!

Us boys are the Warner Brothers, and I'm their sister Dot! At Warner, it is known that we are crazy around the clock! They lock us up in the tower, but we're out in no time! When we screw him up, he thinks he's been hit with a sledgehammer!

We're Animaniacs! Dot is cute, Yakko is strong! Wakko eats like an elephant, Bill plays his saxophone, like an Animaniac!

Umac is figuring out how to rule the universe again. Never stand on the same wire as Pljuska! Button saves Mindy, and Rita practices her voice! Because the writer screws up, we don't have a script, we know each other without rehearsal!

We're Animaniacs! That's what it says on paper! That we are silly, you will see that in a moment!

We're Animani, real pranksters! (Better than last year!) Animaniac! That's you too!

 * -|Lyrics=

Jsme bratři Warnerovi, a já jejich sestra sem. Máme chut´ se prohánět filmovým studiem! A vždycky, když nás čapnou, do veže zavřou nás. My dáme si však záležet a utečeme zas!

My máme málo chyb! Dáda má šmrnc, Joko vtip. Voko baští o sto šest, Clinton válí pop i jazz. Jsme parta snů a hvežd!

Dvě myši, Ruda s Kápem chtějí vládnout nad světem, jen péřáci jsou svourní než je Kecka zamete! Očko hodí Minku, a Rita zpívá všem! Dnes autoři se zbláznily tak zkoušet nebudem!

My Animáci sme! Máme smlouvy výhodné! Jsme správně praštěné postavičky kreslené!

Sme vážně cvoci, není to jen pocit! (Ve dne ba i v noci!) Animáci sme! A ne že ne! We're Animaniacs, folks! We're properly crazy! So sit back in your chair, you're about to laugh. We're Animaniacs!

We're the Warner Brothers, and I'm their sister. We feel like running around the movie studio! And every time we get caught, they put us in the tower. But we'll make sure we escape once more!

We have very little flaws! Dada's got spunk, Yoko's got wit. Voko's eating by the hundreds, Clinton's playing pop and jazz. We're a dream team of stars!

Two mice, Ruda and Kap, want to rule the world, but the featherheads stick together until Kecka knocks them out! Očko chases Minka, and Rita sings to everyone! The writers have gone mad today, so we won't even bother trying!

We're Animaniacs! We've negotiated a good deal! We're properly wacky cartoon characters!

We're really crazy! It's not just a feeling! (By day, even by night!) We're Animaniacs! Not that we're not!

To bracia Warner z siostrą Dot! Zwariowany wielbią świat! Psychoszajber nie wie że, że my kochamy śmiech. Bo przecież to nie grzech! Zobaczycie braci Warner, i siostrzyczkę z nimi też! Ich dowcipy szkolne dziś rozśmieszą was do łez! Nie zamknie nas w tej wieży, ten zapasiony gbur! Animaniacy są już tacy, śmiechem kruszą mur! W tym filmie chce się być! Występować, tańczyć, żyć! Tu apetyt każdy ma, tutaj Clinton nawet gra. Tu każdy czuje rytm! Tu Pinky z Mózgiem rządzą, bo to we krwi mają swej. Tu Slappy jak widzicie wszyscy, też nie nudzi się! Cekin ściga Mindy, a Rita śpiewa wiersz! Tu mamy fioła dookoła, ale coś w tym jest! W tym filmie chce się żyć! Występować, tańczyć, być! Animaniacy dziś z wszystkich znowu będą drwić!

Animaniacy są już tacy! Sam zobaczysz, jak zdziwaczał świat! Oglądaj nas! It's the Warner brothers with their sister Dot! Crazily adored by the world! The psychedelic doesn't know that, that we love laughter. Because after all, it's not a sin!

You will see the Warner brothers, and their little sister with them too! Today their schoolyard jokes will make you laugh to tears! He won't lock us in this tower, that overstuffed bully! The Animaniacs are just built like that, they crumble walls with their laughter!

This is the movie you'd want to be in! To perform, to dance, to live in! Here everyone has an appetite, even Clinton plays here. Everyone feels the rhythm here!

Here Pinky and the Brain reign supreme, because it's in their blood. And Slappy here, as you can see, doesn't get bored either! Cekin chases Mindy, and Rita sings a poem! Here we have fun all around, but there's something to it!

This is the movie you'd want to live in! To perform, to dance, to be in! Today the Animaniacs will mock everyone once again!

The Animaniacs are just built like that! You will see for yourself, how the world has gone wild! Come watch us!

Добро пожаловать в кино! Для радости придумано оно! Вас сегодня удивит, огорошит, рассмешит. Наша анимация!
 * -|Lyrics=

Мы два брата анимашки, ну а я сестрица Дот! Мы вам студию покажем и расскажем анекдот! Носик свой везде засунем, побузим и пошалим! Нас даже не ловите, все равно мы убежим!

Это анимация! Чудеса вас ждут, друзья! Вакко булки пожирает, ну а Клинтон джаз играет! Это анимация!

Кто-то Землю заарканил, кто-то гнался - не догнал. Кто антенны в уши вставил, кто-то еле убежал! Сценаристы разбежались, да и текста больше нет. Но мы сами разберемся и придумаем сюжет!

Импровизация! Здесь готовится сенсация! Вдруг картинка оживает, вместе с музыкой мелькает.

На всей планете, нас очень любят дети! (Чудесней всех на свете!) Анимация! Смотрим, друзья! Welcome to our show! Created with joy in mind! Today you'll be amazed, surprised, and amused. It's our animation!

We're two animated brothers, and I'm their sister Dot! We'll show you around the studio and tell all kinds of jokes! We'll stick our noses wherever we go, we'll fool around and make a fuss! Don't even bother catching us, we'll just run away again!

This is animation! Wonders await you, folks! Wakko's eating rolls of bread, while Clinton plays jazz! It's animation!

Some of us pursue the Earth, others are on the run and can't catch up. Some of us have antennas in our ears, others just barely escaped! The writers have gone mad, and the scripts are no more. But we'll figure it out and come up with our own story!

Improvisation! A sensation is brewing here! Suddenly the pictures come to life, along with the sound of music.

All over the planet, children love us very much! (The most wonderful thing in the world!) Animation! Come and see, folks!

Анимашек пробил час! Есть контракт у всех у нас. Крупно в профиль и анфас, с колбасою про запас!

Для Анимашек! Глупых симпатяшек! (Из серии мультяшек!) Видно, пробил час! Встречайте нас! It's time for Animaniacs! Our minds are completely blank! We'll give you a massage, and then we'll tick you off with ease. It's time for Animaniacs!

Ven con los hermanos Warner, y la hermana Warner, Dot. Siempre estamos muy alegres entre alguna filmación! Nos encierran en el tanque si nos logran atrapar. No hay quien nos aguante si logramos escapar!

Mira a Pinky y a Cerebro demostrando su poder, junto a estos tres palomos que Slappy hará caer! Botones y Mandy, y a Rita vas a ver. Con escritores locos, no hay libretos que aprender!

¡Somos Animanía! Nos pagan sin trabajar! Estamos locos de atar, como nadie puede estar!

See Pinky and the Brain show off their power, along with these three pigeons that Slappy will knock down! You'll see Buttons and Mandy, and Rita as well. With such crazy writers, there's no scripts for us to learn!

We're Animania! They pay us to not work! We're out of our minds, like no one else could be!

We are animated, we're really crazy! (That's why we call ourselves...) Animania! It is as it is!

Freakazoid! version
In the Freakazoid! episode "Next Time, Phone Ahead", two snippets of the Animaniacs opening are shown.

Arabic



 * Singers: ?

Freakazoid and Animaniacs were not dubbed in the same country as each other, thus, the voices here are different than the finalized Arabic dub of the show.

Norwegian



 * Singers: ?

There is no Norwegian dub of the series, however the snippet of the opening theme was still dubbed.

Her kommer Animaniacs! Og vi syns at vi er maks! Bare sitt ned og slapp av, hvis lattergjør deg glad!
 * -|Lyrics=

Vi er helt gale, kjemper det normale! (Super originale!) Animaniacs! Sangen er snapp! Here comes Animaniacs! And we think we're the best! Just sit down and relax, if laughing makes you happy!
 * -|Translation=

We're completely crazy, fighting the normal! (Super original!) Animaniacs! The song is snappy!

Russian



 * Singers: ?

This dub has different voices for the Warner Siblings, as well as different lyrics - the more familiar dub of Animaniacs hadn't yet premiered at the time Freakazoid was airing.
