You Fools, I'm The Great Michelangelo
It's finally time for my Number 1 favorite Animaniacs cartoon. Which work of art will win my Number 1 spot? My favorite episode is Hooked On A Ceiling. This episode has everything. It has comedy, slapstick, parodies, and the greatest twist ending of all times. In this cartoon, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot go to the Sistine Chapel. It's during the Renaissance period, where everything changed in society. The trio discover that Michelangelo is struggling to paint his famous painting there. After much persuasion and pain, the artist lets the Warners help. They soon become disgusted that they will have to paint naked people. Michelangelo (Played by Maurice LaMarche) goes out to get some things, and he later returns. When he goes into the church, he's horrified to see the Warners painting the wrong things! Michelangelo asks them why they didn't paint what he wanted, and they say they didn't want to paint naked people. So eventually Yakko, Wakko, and Dot repaint the chapel for Michelangelo. Soon the artist's boss gets to the chapel, but the heroes aren't done yet. Michelangelo goes to met the boss, while the Warners try to finish the painting. The boss and artist look over the finished painting, but Michelangelo gasps at what he sees. The toons painted E.T. reaching out to Elliot, parodying the Creation Of Adam. But all turns out well, as the boss is revealed to be Steven Spielberg (Played by Himself). Yakko turns up and says to the audience, "Painting is like a cartoon, you have to know your audience." Well, I love this cartoon. It's my favorite Animaniacs cartoon, and it should be. It's beautifully animated and cleverly written. I don't need to say anymore. I give Hooked On A Ceiling my Number 1 spot on Cartoon Corner's Top 5 Favorite Animaniacs Episodes. P.S. You expect us three innocent children to climb a dangerous scaffolding and paint naked people all over a church? We'll do it!
