Project Water Tower

The Most Complete AYPWIPs List Ever...So Far*

Project Water Tower is something like my personal historical society dedicated to the collection and preservation of our precious cartoon trivia heritage. Vital cartoon history is lost every day through once vibrant and active archival pages going dead or just vanishing off the ether of the Internet altogether. Though no one's heart is truly in danger of breaking over this potentially tragic loss, I thought I would kinda, sorta do something about it anyway. It's focus will mostly be on things from the 1990's Warner Brother's Animation shows, Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain.

Our first item to be preserved for future generations or at least another six months are a list of the AYPWIPS. This list below was originally compiled and maintained by Brian Norman on the now defunct A.C.M.E.L.A.B.S. Archive. It is the most complete list of AYPWIP's I've found so far, preserved by one Richard Watanabe, at The Complete Pondering List. My list was cross-referenced and supplemented with details from The almost, but not entirely, complete 'Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?' list and The Complete "Pinky, Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?" List, archived off of the ancient alt.tv.animaniacs newsgroup. If I should find any AYPWIP's missing from this list, I shall add them in.
