    Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
    ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
    Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
    Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
    Robert Reynolds This is one of the better animated television series ever produced. There will be spoilers ahead:At first glance, this would seem to be a very simple show. The basic premise is that there is a lab mouse bent on taking over the world, with the dubious "help" of a dim bulb lab mouse. The plans, of course, fail miserably. It really doesn't sound like much when stated outright.The beauty of the show is in the details. It is established that they will ultimately fail. You watch to see, one, just how they fail, what Pinky does to doom Brain's plan on most episodes and what the gags will be along the way.The show can be appreciated on more than one level. Frequently, they parody movies and television shows, the voice actor doing brain is doing a parody of Orson Welles and there are jokes kids will enjoy on their level which also have layers to them which adults will enjoy.Pinky and the Brain started out as a recurring segment on Animaniacs and then got their own series. The scripts and voice work are excellent and the show is well worth watching. The entire series is available on DVD. Most recommended.
    Catherine_Grace_Zeh I used to watch this show when I was growing up. When I think about it, I remember it very well. If you ask me, it was a good show. Two things I remember very well are the opening sequence and theme song. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. The writing was also very strong. The performances were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I haven't seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.
    Jane Murdoch (janey_smile) A spin off from the wonderful 'Animaniacs', 'Pinky and the Brain' was one of the funniest and best cartoons of the 90s.The show followed the exploits of two laboratory mice on a mission to take over the world. The Brain was a super-intelligent megalomaniac, and was assisted by Pinky, an idiot. Each night, The Brain would come up with a highly elaborate plan to overthrow the worlds leaders and assume control, but was always foiled at the last minute and sent back to the drawing board.Even though the plot was the same every episode, 'Pinky and the Brain' managed to be consistently fresh and funny. The great writing was backed up by superb voice performances, particularly by Rob Paulson (Pinky) and Maurice LaMarche (Brain). The humour works on enough levels to appeal to kids and grown-ups alike, and if you've never seen an episode of this, I suggest you seek it out!
    r-downey1 When I was a kid I loved Pinky and the Brain.Everyday when I came home from school I could not wait for it to come on in the evening.The show was about two lab mice called Pinky and Brain who every night when the lab scientists had left they would come out of there cage and try to TAKE OVER THE WORLD! Warning there will be spoilers!!Pinky was just an idiot who liked to jump around and have a good time shouting often the one bizarre word "Narf" I have no idea what it mean't but it still use to make me laugh numbers of times.Brain on the other hand was a pure genius who came up with many strange plots to try to control the earth.One of the funnest episodes that I can remember is one where Brain, to put the whole world into depression, broadcast on TV a film where he played a champion footballer called Brain Piccadilly who loved the game and it was his life until one day during a match he took never ending stomach cramps and was unable to play football the sport he loved so well again.This film ended with the footballers best friend who was played by Pinky of course,coming to see him in hospital where the champ tells him he would never be able to play football again.At first their plain worked as the whole world could not stop crying but when Brain went on TV to announce that he the over Lord would be their new leader,he could not stop shaking as he had got into the habit of shaking as when he was filming his story he had been moving around in a table football set and by the time they had stopped filming he could not stop shaking(I my self could not stop laughing by this point)this made the world break into laughter and their plain was failed once again.Another good episode was when Brain became Robinhood or in his case Robin Brain "A noble outlaw who steals from the rich and gives to himself" I love that line by Brain in the episode.I do not now how any of this could have helped them take over the world but that only made the show even funnier and made me love it even more.WB made some other good shows which I really enjoyed watching like Hysteria,Detention,Batman Beyond etc they were really good but Pinky and the Brain was by far my favourite WB cartoon show.I wish they would bring this show back for another series.I may be almost grown up now but this show was not just for kids it can be enjoyed by people of all ages as it uses great humour,I would still watch if it came on TV again.This show has to get 10/10 stars.WB at their best!!!!!
