List of Animaniacs Characters - Other Supporting Characters

Other Supporting Characters

• Baynarts "Charlton" Woodchucks – An aspiring woodchuck actor (voiced by Jeff Bennett) from Wheatina, Kansas. In Hollywoodchuck, he landed the part of Franklin the Friendly Woodchuck in a True Life Adventures-style narrative. The experience proved far too painful to endure however, and the woodchuck quit acting shortly thereafter and returned home. Baynarts is seen again in The Kid in the Lid, however, fulfilling the role of the too-responsible goldfish from The Cat in the Hat. The woodchuck is again the subject of much pain and ridicule, being forgotten in a toilet bowl by the short's close. He also appears as a director in a Slappy Squirrel cartoon based around the nutcracker.

• The Baby Robin – Voiced by Cody Ruegger. Featured in a short where a robin's nest hatches while the mother robin is away and a baby bird sees a F-117 Nighthawk fly by, to which it mistakenly thinks that must be its mother and follows it to a military base, where it is participating in a bombing exercise. The baby robin eventually returns to the nest and meets its mother, and tells his newly-hatched siblings that airplanes are not their mother. He later appears in the second season singing his own version of the 12 days of Christmas, (He only repeats the verse about "Turtle Doves") and in another cartoon where he hatches similarly to his first episode, and imprints on Slappy Squirrel.

• Bossy Beaver & Doyle – Characters that never made it onto the screen; listed as supporting characters for the show in the series pre-production outline.

• Chicken Boo – A six-foot-tall chicken (voiced by Frank Welker) who is curiously successful at imitating humans despite minimal efforts at disguise. In his skits, only one of the characters seems to be aware of the blatantly obvious fact that Chicken Boo is a giant chicken, a fact that remains curiously unbelievable to everyone else, until the barest disguise (e.g. nothing but a false beard) gets accidentally removed, at which point, everyone seems shocked at the revelation. Usually, after his disguise is removed, the character who pointed out he was a chicken reappears and says "I told you that guy was a chicken!" The other characters then turn against Chicken Boo and at times maul him.

• Steven (voiced by Frank Welker)-The show's executive producer. Often mentioned by the cast.

• Mr. Director – A character who is spoof of comedian/actor Jerry Lewis. He is best known for his high energy personality, speaking in a variety of Jewish words in silly contexts and saying multiple Jerry Lewis-type sayings such as "Hello nice lady!". Every time that he is shown, he is always a constant annoyance for the Warner Brothers. Voiced by Paul Rugg.

• Colin (a.k.a. The Randy Beaman Kid) – A wide-eyed boy who relates improbable stories that allegedly happened to his (never-seen) friend Randy Beaman.

• The Flame – A childlike candle flame (voiced by Luke Ruegger) who is present at important historical events such as Jefferson's authoring of The Declaration of Independence and Longfellow's writing of Paul Revere's Ride.

• Flavio and Marita – also known as "the Hip Hippos", a wealthy, Spanish hippo couple (voiced by Frank Welker and Tress MacNeille) obsessed with being trendy. Sometimes they have been in dangerous situations, but usually remain unaware of it and rarely suffer harm, mainly due to their large frames. They are usually pursued by a zoologist who considers the hippos an endangered species and makes attempts to protect them, often getting herself hurt in a slapstick manner. The zoologist seems unaware that the hippos can look after themselves.

• Mr. Skullhead – A mute skeleton, seen in the short series Good Idea/Bad Idea, in which he demonstrates a beneficial "Good Idea" activity and a slightly altered "Bad Idea" version that leads to disastrous results. These clips were narrated by humorist and Motel 6 spokesman Tom Bodett. He was also featured in a parody of Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands. Mr. Skullhead first appeared on Tiny Toon Adventures as an ornament on Elmyra's bowtie. In one episode that featured the Warners attempting to escape from ladies asking them about a survey, the Warners enlist the aid of Mr. Skullhead to stand in front of the women and bob his head, which fools them for some time.

• The Mime – A nameless mime who mainly appeared in brief clips titled "Mime Time"; the mime would usually begin a demonstration of some miming technique (e.g. "walking against the wind" or "trapped in a box"), only to be inexplicably maimed. His exploits are also narrated by Tom Bodett.

• Katie Ka-Boom – A teen-aged girl, voiced by Laura Mooney, who greatly overreacts to trivially upsetting situations and turns into a comically violent and destructive monster, usually leaving the family home in ruins. She provides a parody of stereotypical teenage behavior, obviously modeled on the Incredible Hulk or She-Hulk. She lives with her parents and her younger brother, who appears briefly in the entire segment.

• Mary Hartless – A pastiche of Mary Hart. She appears as a newsreader with alternating hairstyles in Hurray for Slappy, Chairman of the Bored, Bubba Bo Bob Brain and Critical Condition. Voiced by Valeri Bromfield.

• Baloney the Dinosaur – An orange and green parody of Barney the Dinosaur. Baloney appears in the episode "Baloney and Kids" and other places that extreme torture is required such as the episode "The Please, Please, Please Get a Life Foundation" Voiced by Jeff Bennett.

• Death – The archetypically portrayed Grim Reaper, with black robe, skeletal appearance, and scythe. In Meatballs or Consequences, the Warner siblings challenge him to a game of checkers. He sports a Swedish accent, which, along with the checkers game, are references to the chess game against Death in Swedish director Ingmar Bergman's 1956 film The Seventh Seal.

• The Narrator - An off-screen narrator whose voice is a parody of Sterling Holloway. He appeared in the episodes Nighty Night Toon and Warners and the Beanstalk. He is voiced by Jim Cummings.
