"STEVEN SPIELBERG PRESENTS PINKY & THE BRAIN"
"Steven Spielberg Presents Pinky & The Brain" is a hilarious animated half-hour series starring the popular laboratory mice (Pinky and The Brain) from the Peabody Award-winning "Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs," airing on Kids' WB!, 9:30 AM Saturdays.

Pinky and The Brain constantly devise new intricate, scientific, adventurous, non-violent and often just plain ludicrous, ways to take over the modern world. Unfortunately for them, but luckily for us, they haven't succeeded in their plans of global domination, but their relentless attempts to do so provide great entertainment!

In Fall 1996, Pinky and The Brain will forge ahead with all-new ways in which to overtake the earth. Their imaginative new plans unfold Saturday mornings with even more elaborate and sophisticated schemes planned for primetime viewing. Pinky and The Brain fans will be amazed and amused each and every week as they discover the stories behind the tales. Viewers will meet Pinky & The Brain's family and friends and also learn how this "dynamic" duo teamed up.

"Steven Spielberg Presents Pinky & The Brain" is the fourth animated collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Warner Bros. It is the same core creative team behind the success of the multi-award winning programs "Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs," "Steven Spielberg Presents Tiny Toon Adventures" and the wildly off-beat "Steven Spielberg Presents Freakazoid!"

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.
