Today is the May 1 and that means we’re now finally just weeks away from the return of the UK’s biggest pop culture convention, MCM Comic Con London. Organisers ReedPop have now announce that beloved voice actor Rob Paulsen will be joining the already star-studded lineup of celebrity guests set to attend the event.
Best known for his role as Yakko Warner in Animaniacs, Rob has lent his voice to numerous classic cartoons, such as Pinky from Pinky and the Brain, Raphael in the original 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series and Donatello in the 2012 reboot. Both his voice acting and directing work has cemented him as an integral part of countless childhoods from the 1980s through to today.
Rob will join screenwriter Randy Rogel on the Main Stage at 12:10pm on Saturday 24 May to perform fan-favourite songs from their live show: Animaniacs in Concert, before answering audience questions and revealing behind-the-scenes stories from the production of Animaniacs. Rob will also be available for purchasable autographs and photo opportunities across all three days of the show.
