What happened to the rest of the Animaniacs cast?
In the 2020 Animaniacs cartoon only the three Warner siblings and Pinky & The Brain (as well as one other cameo in the final episode) are featured. All the other old characters like Slappy Squirrel, Minerva Mink, Mindy, Buttons, Goodfeathers, Chicken Boo, The Hip Hippos, Rita and Runt, etc. are gone.
