Newsreel of the Stars

Narrator: Newsreel of the Stars! Dateline Hollywood, 1930, the Warner Bros. Studio. Here at the studio's new animation department, the artists toil endlessly to come up with cartoon stars, ultimately creating three new characters -- the Warner Brothers and their Sister Dot.

Yakko, Wakko, Dot: [Leaping off animator's drawing board onto Hello Nurse (or maybe her great-grandmother)] Helllllllo, Nurse!

Narrator: Unfortunately, the Warner kids were totally out of control.

Yakko, Wakko, Dot: Boingy! Boingy! Boingy! Boingy!

Narrator: The trio ran amok throughout the studio ... until their capture. The Warners' films, which made absolutely no sense, were locked away in the studio vault, never to be released. As for the Warners themselves, they were locked away in the studio water-tower, also never to be released. Publicly, the studio has disavowed any knowledge of the Warners' existence, to this very day, -- when the Warners escaped!
