"Steven
Spielberg Presents Pinky & The Brain"
The two lab mice team up each week in pursuit of their ultimate
goal: world
domination. As they plot new plans and embellish them in their
own wacky
way, they unwittingly and continually sabotage their best
attempts. But,
both Pinky and The Brain are serious and dedicated to their
cause. They
know full well that someday their ambitions will be realized. As
they
escape from their cage each week and venture forth from ACME
Laboratories
it becomes more and more evident just how serious these two
really are.
If The Brain disguises himself as infamous gangster Jimmy Hoffa
will he
earn access to the nation's military-industrial complex and, in
turn, be
able to finally take over the world? Can The Brain design
dentures that
give him the charismatic smile that leads to a starring role in a
television sitcom enabling him to seduce the mass public into
believing
everything he says and does? Will securing all the world's
livable space
above the 39th floor, and then plotting to melt the polar ice
caps,
flooding Earth up to the 39th floor, make Pinky & The Brain
finally realize
their goal? Will all of these new plots actually bring them that
much
closer to making their dream a reality?
With each and every plan Pinky and The Brain are always out of
luck.
Somehow there is always a major piece of logic missing and their
schemes
backfire time and time again, leaving both mice caught in their
own trap.
In the end, they always return to their homebase at ACME labs
where they
plot their activity for the next night trying to take over the
world.
"Pinky and The Brain are my personal favorites," said
executive producer
Steven Spielberg. "They aspired to have their own television
series after
serving in the capacity of 'guest stars' in 'Animaniacs.' So,
last year we
gave it a try and to our amazement they were successful. After
all, as two
laboratory mice intent on taking over the world, Pinky and The
Brain
believe that starring in their own series is their manifest
destiny."
Two extremely talented voice-over artists bring life to these
inseparable
rodents. Rob Paulsen ("Steven Spielberg Presents
Animaniacs," "Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles") portrays the gangly-toothed,
optimistic, though
slightly dimwitted Pinky. Maurice LaMarche ("Steven
Spielberg Presents Tiny
Toon Adventures," "Taz-Mania") plays the monotone,
highly intelligent and
understated The Brain.
"Steven Spielberg Presents Pinky & The Brain,"
executive produced by Steven
Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment, is produced and animated by
Warner
Bros. Television Animation, under the creative supervision of
senior
producer Tom Ruegger and producer Rusty Mills, for Kids' WB!, The
WB
Television Network's children's programming service.
The two laboratory mice with what Shakespeare would have termed
"vaulting
ambition which o'er leaps itself." They are cage mates that
have teamed up
in their common pursuit of taking over the world -- if they can
only get
out of the lab. No matter how hard they try, success always seems
to elude them.
Pinky is a gangling guy with funny teeth and an optimistic
outlook. He's
boisterous and energetic with a staccato laugh and an inane
imagination.
Pinky's speech is littered with odd exclamations --
"Egad!" "Narf!"
"Clong!" "Ppoit" "Splonk!"
"Zort!" -- kind of emotional sound effects. He
is extremely optimistic and would probably be a victim of
spontaneous
combustion if he didn't have The Brain to bring him back to
earth.
The Brain, on the other hand, has an oversized forehead to fit
his
oversized cerebellum, pursed mouth, shrouded eyes, and speaks in
a somber
whispered monotone. He often speaks so quietly, in fact, Pinky
must lean in
close, his hand cupped to his ear in order to hear The Brain's
latest
scheme. (It's funny how the audience has no problem hearing The
Brain.) The
Brain has super intelligence, has the gift of understatement and
knows that
he would accomplish nothing without the enthusiasm of his loyal
companion, Pinky.
Yes, Pinky and The Brain are a dynamic team that are virtually
inseparable!
