Michael is with Christina Saffran, and Randy Rogel during Paper Mill Playhouse’s 1994 production of Singin’ in the Rain!  Michael quoted in "Paper Mill Playhouse: The Life of a Theatre": "Never in my whole career have I experienced anything quite so thrilling and invigorating as the rain sequence in Singin' in the Rain. This truly theatrical moment was a twofold gift: First, to have the opportunity to recreate such a memorable moment out of one of the greatest MGM musicals, one designed, as always, in the inevitable Paper Mill fashion - breathtakingly beautiful. Michael's set, Tim's lighting, and Gregg's clothes thoroughly transported me back to the decadent elegance of early Hollywood. Second, after the sheer physical endurance required to perform that first act - a marathon that has proved to be the greatest challenge I've ever had to face - how appreciative I was to cool off under the torrential downpour of a well-placed water spout. Except for the occasional bad behavior of a certain black umbrella, the number went off without a hitch, an amazing feat considering how complicated it was. Once again, I praise the incredible crew of the Paper Mill whose technical and emotional support, not to mention a good drying off each night, gave me seven weeks of absolute bliss."

When @brinkle-brackle, an absolute Chad of a friend, told me that they got tickets to see Rob Paulsen from Animaniacs live on stage, and invited me, I was absolutely not prepared for how incredible of an experience it would be. Pictured above is a photo of us with the Maurice LaMarche (AKA the Brain) and we actually got to briefly talk with him. And yes, he is such a sweet man in real life. I still can’t believe that happened. It doesn’t feel real.

And Rob Paulsen is an absolutely incredible performer. His prowess on the stage is unmatched. Seeing him and the composer, Randy Rogel, perform together was such a delight. AND YES, HE DID THE SONG.

I was sobbing internally. This man is too incredible for this world.

And at the end, Rob and Maurice performed the Animaniacs theme song!! Tumblr won’t let me upload more than one video, so I might upload it tomorrow. But all in all, this was one experience I’ll never forget.

Tagging @secretsofthemourning, who Commissioned me to draw Yakko and loves Animaniacs every bit as Sam and I do.

The 7D Staff: Where Are They Now?

Time for another update on The 7D staff!

Former staff writers Sherri Stoner, Deanna Oliver, Randy Rogel and Cooper Sweeney are now working on the recently debuted PBS Kids series Work It Out Wombats! It’s surprising to see people who also wrote for the original Animaniacs series working with many other former writers of Arthur on the same series!

The series sounds fun, and I want to check it out as soon as I can! 

If you’re a fan of the Frog and Toad book series, you’ll be delightful to know that an animated series based on it has debuted on Apple TV+ in April! Kevin Michael Richardson -- Happy himself -- voices Frog along with Nat Faxon -- check him out in one of my favorite animated series, It’s Pony, as Mr. Underwood -- as Toad! It’s a delightful and gentle series -- totally recommend!

Also, Richardson is also the voice of school principal Nichols on Big Nate -- whose second season makes its debut today on Paramount+ (also recommended)!

(Many thanks to @doccywhomst for making the original post that told me about the existence of these two)

30 years ago this month, Dick Sebast and Randy Rogel’s 1993 ‘Batman: The Animated Series’ two part episode “Robin’s Reckoning” aired, introducing to many Batman fans the origin story of the first Robin, Dick Grayson, adapted from Detective Comics #38, which was published on March 6, 1940.

Part One, which won the Emmy award for Outstanding Animated Program, aired on February 7th, 1993. When the Batman (Kevin Conroy) learns that mobster Tony Zucco (Thomas F. Wilson) has returned to Gotham City, he refuses to let Dick Grayson (Loren Lester) aid him as Robin in this case due to the fact that Zucco is responsible for Dick's parents' deaths. When Alfred (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) and Robin use the Bat-computer and discover Batman is going after Zucco, Robin flashbacks to his time with ‘The Flying Graysons’; he remembers that fateful day during a Wayne Charity convention when both his mother and father plummeted to their deaths during a trapeze act. After the accident, Bruce takes Grayson in to his custody and they both connect with the grief over the loss of their parents. Returning to the present, Robin expresses his anger to Batman that he won't let him get his long awaited revenge on Zucco and leaves on his motorbike to find him.

In Part Two, which aired #onthisday in 1993, as both the Dark Knight and the Boy Wonder track down Tony Zucco, the episode flashes back to shorty after Dick' parents' deaths: Grayson where he goes after Zucco himself but is stopped by Batman who reveals himself as Bruce Wayne. In the present, as Robin finally has his hands on Zucco, he decides to show him mercy and turn him into the authorities, with Robin and Batman making amends. Even with the 'less graphic' scene of Dick's parents' demise requested by the producers, this powerful two parter not only celebrated DC comic books (influences include Frank Miller's ‘Batman: Year One’ (1987)) and would inspire Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s ‘Batman: Dark Victory’ (1999/2000), but also reinvented a fan favorite DC persona.

For all of you, if you could do another movie together, what genre would it be?

Ooh, that's a GREAT question! We haven't acted since the '90s, but if for some reason Plotz changed his mind on the whole "the Warners aren't going to be on any screen ever again" thing, I personally would LOVE to do a full-on musical. Of course, just about everything we do has a musical number or two, but I'd love to just get to sing a TON of fast-paced Randy Rogel songs again. Sibs?

I'd love to do something with a bit more adventure! Maybe Yakko, Wakko, and I could go look for some mysterious artifact. Oh, and there HAS to be a moment where I save Yakko and Wakko, there's just gotta be one! I may be adorable, but I don't want to just be a pretty face. I wanna kick some butt!

As for me, if we ever get to do another movie, I'd like it to just feel like a longer episode of the show. You know, us messing around, getting into trouble, good ol' Warner shenanigans. Not too much drama either, I don't like that kind of stuff. Freaks me the heck out.

Thank you for your question! Keep 'em coming!
