Animaniacs -
A Brief History of History

Episode Segment
2020

After the Pinky & The Brain main title, we were properly thrilled to collaborate with Warner again — this time on Animaniacs Season 2. Months prior, we had shared some VR tests we were playing with and the brief started there: Try that! Get weird! Challenge accepted.

Illustration Development

Lotsa props, but make ‘em pop.

We scribbled and doodled and colour blocked. Then we made some of it 3D… and some of it not.

We made little love notes to one another and underlined them thrice, cuz when you’re working on cartoons you’ve gotta be nice.
