If you grew up watching cartoons in the ’90s, you grew up watching Tom Ruegger’s shows. The fourteen-time Emmy winner is the creator of Animaniacs, the series that unleashed Yakko, Wakko, and Dot on the world, and he also created Pinky and the Brain, Tiny Toon Adventures, Road Rovers, and Histeria! He served as senior producer and a writer on Freakazoid!, executive produced and wrote for Batman: The Animated Series, created A Pup Named Scooby-Doo for Hanna-Barbera, and developed Disney’s The 7D. And if you can still sing every word of the Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Pinky and the Brain, or Freakazoid! theme songs, you have Tom to thank, since he wrote the lyrics for all four! Stop by his table to meet the man who made your childhood zany to the max!

Julie Brown is an original: a daffy West Coast Judy Holliday; a comedienne who has suffered many roadblocks in her rise to fame. Born and raised in California’s San Fernando Valley, Brown’s screen persona encapsulates all the dizzy selfishness and amorality of the “valley girl.” Brown got her training in San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theater, where she met future collaborators Charlie Coffey and Terrence McNally (the latter who briefly became her husband should not be confused with the playwright of the same name). Originally a stand-up comic (“It’s a mean atmosphere. Comedians, to me, look very needy”), Brown parlayed her talent into a pop career as an MTV hostess and released two hilarious albums of original music: “Goddess in Progress” and “Trapped in the Body of a White Girl.”

Sherri Stoner is the creator and voice of Slappy Squirrel, the cranky, cartoon-savvy senior citizen whose explosive shorts became fan favorites on Animaniacs. A writer and producer on both Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs, Sherri also co-wrote the hit film Casper. Before her animation career, she was an actress (Little House on the Prairie) and a member of the legendary improv troupe The Groundlings, skills that made her the perfect live-action reference model for Ariel in The Little Mermaid and Belle in Beauty and the Beast. That’s right: Disney animators studied Sherri’s performances to bring two of their most beloved heroines to life! Come say hi to a true animation legend, and Slappy herself!

If a cartoon made you laugh in the ’90s, there’s a good chance Steve Bernstein’s music was playing underneath it. The five-time Emmy-winning composer helped create the big, zany orchestral sound of Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and Freakazoid!, and also scored Taz-Mania and Baby Looney Tunes. More recently, he brought his talents to the edgier side of animation with the “Laser Baby’s Day Out” episode of The Boys: Diabolical. Steve often collaborates with his wife, four-time Emmy winner Julie Bernstein, and together they brought the musical oxygen that made cartoons come to life. Come meet the maestro behind the music!
