Animaniacs was made with a higher production value than standard television animation; the show had a higher cel count than most TV cartoons. Animaniacs utilized a heavy musical score for an animated program, with every episode featuring at least one original score. The idea for an original musical score in every episode came from Steven Spielberg. The humor of Animaniacs varied in type, ranging from parody to cartoon violence. The series made parodies of television shows and films. In an interview, Spielberg defended the "irreverence" of Animaniacs , saying that the Animaniacs crew has "a point of view" and does not "sit back passively and play both sides equally".
Spielberg defended the violence in Animaniacs by saying that the series had a balance of both violent humor and educational segments, so the series would never become either too violent or "benign". Characters on Animaniacs had catchphrases, with some characters having more than one.
Notable catchphrases include Yakko's "Goodnight, everybody! The most prominent catchphrase that was said by all three Warners was "Hello-o-o, nurse! Running gags and recurring segments were very common in the show. The closing credits for each episode always included one joke credit and ended with a water tower gag similar to The Simpsons couch gag.
Director Rusty Mills and senior producer Tom Ruegger said that recurring segments like the water tower gag and another segment titled "The Wheel of Morality" which, in Yakko's words, "adds boring educational value to what would otherwise be an almost entirely entertaining program", and ends with a "moral" that makes no sense eased the production of episodes because the same animated scenes could be used more than once and, in the case of the Wheel segments, enabled the producers to add a segment in where there was not room for anything else in the episode.
A great deal of Animaniacs's humor and content was aimed at an adult audience. Pinafore were parodied in episode 3, "HMS Yakko". Animaniacs parodied popular TV shows and movies and caricatured celebrities. One episode even made fun of competing show Power Rangers , [14] and another episode caricatured Animaniacs' own Internet fans. Animaniacs director Russell Calabrese said that not only did it become a compliment to be parodied on Animaniacs but also that being parodied on the series would be taken as a "badge of honor". Animaniacs had a variety of music types.
Many Animaniacs songs were parodies of classical or folk music with educational lyrics. Notable ones include "Yakko's World", in which Yakko sings the names of all some nations of the world to the tune of the " Mexican Hat Dance ".
