	Movies - Mr. Skullhead

Mr. Skullhead is a character from the animated television series Tiny Toon Adventures
and Animaniacs. He originated on Tiny Toons when the character Elmyra Duff removed the tiny skull in the center of the hair bow she wears and imagined he had a show and created his theme song. Later he made the transition to Animaniacs. On Animaniacs Mr. Skullhead was a minor character, featured in the "Good Idea/Bad Idea" segments and starred in one full-length cartoon, "Skullhead Boneyhands," a parody of the Tim Burton film Edward Scissorhands
. Skullhead never spoke, and usually fell victim to some sort of catastrophe.

"Good Idea/Bad Idea"

Each "Good Idea/Bad Idea" was generally a 30-second segment between cartoons. In the segment a narrator (Tom Bodett) describes a "good idea" which was usually some mundane but enjoyable activity which Mr. Skullhead would then perform. The narrator would describe a "bad idea" which was the same task except with one crucial detail changed. Mr. Skullhead would then perform the variation on the first activity which usually resulted in him now injuring himself.
