The voices behind Warner Bros' beloved Animaniacs are reuniting for a live tour.

Good news for fans of fast-talking, pop-culture referencing cartoon, uh… dogs? The only cargo pants-clad trio more ’90s than Eve 6, The Animaniacs, are headed out on a U.S. tour timed to coincide with the beloved cartoon series’ debut on Netflix earlier this month.

The news of the welcome return comes to us from a New York Times interview with the original voice actor of Yakko, Rob Paulsen, who will be reuniting with Wakko (Jess Harnell) and Dot (Tress MacNeille) and performing many of the show’s songs live, including “The Presidents” and “The Monkey Song”.

The Animaniacs’ live renditions will be backed by a full symphony orchestra, as they were back in 2014 with the Colorado Symphony. Paulsen also threw a bone to geography nerds everywhere, and let them know that they’ve updated the lyrics to “Yakko’s World” for 2016. Finally, East Timor’s going to get its due!

No word yet on the tour dates, but hopefully, if all the stars align, we’ll get a live-action rendition of the greatest Prince joke known to man.
