    Over the weekend at New York Comic-Con we got our first look at the Animaniacs reboot.

    Amblin Television / Warner Bros. Animation

    The Animaniacs, or more specifically, The Warner Brothers (& Warner Sister, Dot), haven't been seen since 1998 (well, 1999 if you count the holiday classic Wacko's Wish).

    It's a Jurassic Park themed reintroduction that any true fan will find truly exciting:

    As with most animated reboots, fans have been worried the Animaniacs they know and love might have been abandoned. Fear not! Cartoon Dr. Alan Grant shared your doubt and worry, until, just over horizon, he saw them!

    Cartoon Dr. Ellie Sattler and cartoon Allen Grant are in awe...

    Exactly as in awe as their real life counterparts were when they saw cloned dinosaurs for the first time in 1993's Jurassic Park.

    Both Jurassic Park and Animaniacs were released in 1993. Great year for Steven Spielberg!

    Speaking of Steven Spielberg...

    Spielberg, executive producer of the original Animaniacs as well as the new iteration makes an appearance, as he often did in the originals.

    Remember?

    Here he is in Season 1, Episode 4's "Hooked On a Ceiling."

    All The Warners have returned! There's Wakko:

    And a Hulu executive:

    Hulu, the streaming service that will be airing the reboot, makes an appearance as well. Hopefully this means Hulu will allow for their shows and movies to become a part of the Animaniacs universe, just as Warner Bros. properties have been since the original.

    And because you can't just skip over Jeff Goldblum, here's cartoon Doctor Ian Malcom:

    And in case you were wondering if this show would have that nostalgic hand drawn feel...

    Animation Director Scott Obrien made it clear that part of the magic is indeed traditional hand drawn animation.

    And doesn't it feel good to know the artists doing the incredible work on this show are having a such a great time?

    And yes, in case you were wondering, Pinky and The Brain will also be returning, though we've not seen any of their new footage yet.

    Amblin Television / Warner Bros. Animation

    Rob Paulson, the voice of Yakko as well as Pinky, let it slip in an interview back in April that the two iconic lab mice will be back as well.

    Animaniacs is slated to be released on November 20th.
