This fourth and final volume of “Animaniacs” is full of funny episodes that are sure to satisfy fans and non-fans alike. The DVD however doesn’t offer any features which are a shame as it would’ve been nice to hear from the creators and/or writers but the audio and video transfers are good.

SPECIAL FEATURES – 0/5
Unfortunately there are no features included in this set. Given it is the last one, would’ve been nice to hear from the crew…
VIDEO – 4.0/5
Warner Home Video releases “Animaniacs” Volume 4 onto DVD with a good-looking and vibrant transfer. The video, presented in its original 1.33 full frame, shows off the colors quite nicely and I saw no signs artifacting.
AUDIO – 3.0/5
The Dolby Digital Stereo track isn’t anything astounding but more than satisfactory given the source material. Dialogue levels sound nice and clear while other elements such as music and side action show some decent depth for a 2-channel track.
OVERALL – 3.5/5
Overall, this fourth and final volume of “Animaniacs” is full of funny episodes that are sure to satisfy fans and non-fans alike. The DVD however doesn’t offer any features which are a shame as it would’ve been nice to hear from the creators and/or writers but the audio and video transfers are good.
