The teaser clip premiered during the Animaniacs cast and producer virtual panel at New York Comic Con. The teaser included an animated Spielberg introducing the characters Yakko, Wakko and Dot within the Jurassic Park world, paying homage to the original film. This included Sam Neill’s Alan Grant, Laura Dern’s Ellie Sattler, and Jeff Goldblum’s Ian Malcolm, you can check out the teaser below.

“Alan, this species of cartoon has been extinct since 1998. I mean, these haven’t been seen on TV since the golden era of animation!”

Sattler says, parodying a scene from the first film. Grant then manually turns her head to see an animated Spielberg confirm that it was he who reanimated the trio, as well as Pinky and the Brain. The scene even includes a Hulu “executive” just flat-out state:

“We are going to make a fortune with this show”
