Animaniacs are back on Boomerang UK

In a surprise update, Boomerang returns Animaniacs to the UK, as part of the NOW TV service.

The show's original run on Boomerang began in September 2004, which followed the launch of the network's European rebrand, and lasted until 2007, with roughly half the series being shown. The series can also be found on iTunes, while also currently available on Netflix in the US.

NOW TV launched it's Kids Pass back in June, as a separate package for customers, alongside Entertainment, Sports and Movies. The Kids Pass offers live streaming of Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Boomerang, Nicktoons, Cartoonito and Nick Jr, as well as a selection of shows available on-demand at anytime. Other programmes which are or have been available in the Boomerang section include The Looney Tunes Show, Scooby Doo, Mr Bean, Tom & Jerry, Duck Dodgers, Top Cat, The Garfield Show and Oddbods. The NOW TV service can be accessed online, as a phone app and on TV with the NOW TV boxes. 

The first 20 episodes from Season 1 of Animaniacs are only available at this point. No news as to any further episodes will be added or if this show will make a return to TV later this year.
