SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Brainstem1995 Don't get me wrong, the original Pinky and the Brain series is a far superior show but this non-canon (confirmed by series creator to be non-canon) spin-off does have its moments. It brings an almost Ed Edd n Eddy-like vibe to Pinky and the Brian. Seeing Elmyra and the two mice get into all sorts of bizarre adventures is actually kind of amusing. The characters of Pinky and the Brain themselves recieve some character changes. Pinky starts to talk back to Brain, and Brain returns to a larger megalomaniacal persona akin to the early days of their skits on Animaniacs. Elmyra is still annoying (and sometimes boarders on being disturbing) but serves an interesting foil to Brain. The voice-acting, scoring and animation is just as stellar as the orignal, with Rough Draft Studios in particular rising to new heights in the episodes they animated (just check out their animation in the intro, almost TMS-like in some respects). Wang Film Productions' animation is also just as expressive and fluid as always.Some particular episode highlights include "Gee Your Hair Spells Terrific!", "The Cat Who Cried Woof", "Fun, Time and Space", "Pinky's Playhouse" (which questions the relationship between Pinky and Brain), How I Spent My Weekend", "The Raven" and "That's Edutainment!". Believe me when I say this show had some good episodes, they had some real good episodes. Overall, this show may have been what the network demanded against the writers' freewill, but man they still delivered. If you are hoping to see more traditional, Elmyra-less adventures of Pinky and the Brain, then I'd reccomend checking out their original series, Animaniacs and the upcoming Animaniacs reboot. Otherwise if you like watching shows where a trio of unlikely friends get into all sorts of chaos, then this is the show for you.

saxguygb I recently finished watching all of the episodes of this show and I don't think it's as bad as others are making it out to be. It's not as good as when it was just Pinky & The Brain, but it's entertaining and I enjoyed it.I will admit that Elmyra is a little more painfully annoying than she was on Tiny Toons, but she still has her enjoyably annoying moments. Pinky and the Brain are still enjoyable characters as they were on Animaniacs and, well, Pinky & The Brain.The only new character that I kind of liked was Rudy, mainly because a lot of the bully-ish stuff he does is over-the-top and kind of funny (Example: When he sues the Brain because the Brain wouldn't allow him to join a kids' club. He actually has lawyers that show up.)If you like Elmyra on Tiny Toons and you like Pinky and the Brain, I would say this is worth checking out. Just don't be expecting a masterpiece, because this show is not that.

MartinHafer This is a perfect example of a series that long outlived its usefulness. I loved Pinky and the Brain and watched the show almost religiously, but when some dunderhead at the WB decided to pair these mice with Elmyra, I was horrified. There was absolutely no reason to take them away from Acme Labs except that the show had just run out of ideas. This was an example of the expression "jumping the shark"--it was obvious it was all downhill for the show from then until its cancellation--and with crappy episodes without the original formula, it wasn't long before the show breathed its last. Frankly, I just found it embarrassing to watch towards the end. My recommendation is never watch this incarnation of the show and use massive amounts of denial. Convince yourselves and others it never occurred---the ONLY shows that ever existed were Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain. They NEVER paired the mice with Elmyra--no, never!!

sngbrd39 I know, I borrowed a little from Roger Ebert there, but that's just about the only way I can sum up my feelings about "Pinky, Elmyra, and the Brain" [shudder]. Oh, my gosh! How could they just go on and change such a wonderful show?? I only rarely found Elmyra all that funny myself (in fact, I find her kind of annoying), and it was really a kick in the pants to discover that she would be put together with Pinky and the Brain. That just spelled trouble right there. "Pinky and the Brain" was right up there with "Animaniacs" as my favorite cartoon. After their change of setting, though, Pinky's "narfs" and "poits" were never the same again. Mercifully, the show was soon put out of its misery, but it just signaled the end of Pinky and the Brain, the two funniest megalomaniacal lab mice ever on TV.
