I grew with the original Animaniacs. I must've been 7 years old when it came out and I was hooked on it!
No need to mention that I was looking forward to the reboot to relive those memories.
The new series does an alright job getting the 34-year-old kid inside me back in the series, but not "great."
There are good gags, the music is amazing, the HD quality is looking slick (although needs some getting used to, especially if you've just binge-watched the original series,) the intro-song gags are fun and pretty clever but maybe too overthought (e.g. "Animany, totally-insany, don't-need-to-mansplany, Animaniacs.)
However, the animation is not as extravagant and over-the-top funny as the original. It really feels like there is a brand new (too young) team of animators that are not that familiar with the original and rushed into making the new series.
I really miss some of the old characters and recurring sketches, like Slappy and Skippy Squirrel, Mime Time, Mindy and Button, Rita and Runt, the Goodfeathers, The Wheel of Morality, etc.
At the same time, it felt to me a bit desperate in certain episodes to dive into Asian types of animation, such as Japanese anime and K-pop. Really hard to understand, even if the series is trying to recruit new audiences.
The self-mocking jokes on their reboot were pretty funny in the beginning, but as they recur more often, they start to wear off quickly.
This said, I still had plenty of laughs and chuckles throughout the season and looking forward to the second season coming out.

102 minutes of my life that I'd like back.
When this aired on a french-language tv station (translated as "102 Minutes That Changed The World"), I quickly looked up an original version to stream and came across the 15th anniversary edition of this documentary.
The footage is simply not interesting. We still see the burning twin towers and people running all over the place, but not even footage of the actual planes that hit the towers. Also, they sometimes cut to a clock, trying to put the footage in a chronologic order, but the clock gets shown with even 1/100 of seconds, as if they ever could line up the footage that precise (most of it overlaps, so, more than anything, it chops up the full length in chapters).
Even more so: for the 15th anniversary edition, it cuts out to do some interviews with people that were indirectly impacted (either lived nearby or that have lost a family member) while they are looking back with the interviewer. Hardly interesting and cuts what little energy the documentary had to begin with.
It's footage from 9/11, so it's hard to remain unaffected looking at this for nearly 2 hours. But... If you're looking for more impressive footage: find a different documentary. If you're looking for something more educative: find a different documentary. If you're looking for something concise: find a different documentary.
This is the least interesting 9/11 documentary out there.
