The Golden Age of Animation
Our story begins in the 1930s, a period regarded by many as the Golden Age of Animation. Many studios in Hollywood were pumping out reels and reels of new cartoons.
During this time, one of the more eccentric and gifted animators at Warner Bros. created the Warner brothers and the Warner sister—specifically, Yakko, Wakko and Dot.
Locked in the Water Tower
From the beginning, however, these three were labeled too wacky, too wild, and just too zany to be let loose on an unsuspecting public. Their comical genius was too far ahead of the times.
Behind top-secret closed-door meetings, the studio executives, vice presidents, managers, managing vice presidents, chief executive vice directors of managing, and some people who were really important, decided to lock them up immediately in the Warner Bros. Water Tower.
They remained imprisoned in that water tower for over 60 years, when they escaped! The Warner brothers and their sister immediately began to amuse themselves by wreaking havoc upon film stages all across the studio lot. It remains their favorite pastime.
The Missing Script
Just the other day (actually it was the day before yesterday, but that's not important) the writers at Warner Bros. completed a script that could win a prestigious award. The script disappeared!
It seems that Pinky and The Brain snatched the script to sell it and use the money it would bring to take over the world. But Pinky, carrying the script in an absent-minded daze, dropped scenes from the script at various sound stages all over the studio lot!
The Warner Bros.' CEO has asked the Warner siblings to find and deliver the completed script to him pronto, hoping it would keep them out of any really serious trouble...a typical management decision.
