'I'm Mad' is a cartoon short starring Yakko, Wakko and Dot along with Dr. Scratchansniff and it was directed by Rich Arons, Dave Marshall and Audu Paden. It was originally shown before the movie Thumbelina.

The entire short is spoken in song. It all starts at the Warner Bros. studio. In the watertower Yakko, Wakko and Dot are asleep. The music starts and Dr. Scratchansniff runs in and begins to wake up the Warners, stating that they need to be on their way. A tired Yakko accidentally hits the ladder that Dot uses in order to climb down from her bed and they both start to argue. Wakko complains about the breakfast, stating that "[he] wants pancakes, or a waffle. This tastes awful. Is that all we got?" In the bathroom Yakko uses Dot's toothbrush and they keep arguing until Scratchansniff interrupts them both. Down at the parking lot the Doctor has great trouble getting the siblings into the car and when he finally gets them inside they lock him out. On the road Dot, states "I'm mad, I'm mad, I'm really, really, really mad" because Yakko nudged her with his elbow. Yakko claims to be innocent and they start to argue once again while Scratchansniff begs them to be quiet because he is trying to drive the car. However, that doesn't work so Scratchansniff forbids them both to say another word. Wakko meanwhile complains himself by wondering "Are we there yet? I'm tired, I'm hungry. How far? My nose is snotty, need to move my body. Gotta use the potty, better stop the car." Yakko and Dot have once again started fighting. When asked to stop they both blame each other for starting it, making Scratchansniff lose his temper and yelling at them both to be quiet. With Yakko and Dot fighting in the backseat Scratchansniff complains that every time they take a trip it's "always just the same". They all fight each other and when they finally arrive everyone's a wreck.

They finally arrive at their destination, a festival or circus of some sort. Scratchansniff wonders if they aren't happy and the Warner siblings quickly state that indeed they are. They all run into the amusement park and come out again when the sun is setting. Dot states that *I'm glad, I'm glad. What a really great time we had". Both Yakko and Dot seem to be getting along well again and they treat each other nicely. They all get into the car again they and drive of into the sunset. All of a sudden Dot breaks the silence, telling Yakko that he hit her. He claims to be innocent and the whole fight starts all over again.

Even though this episode originally was shown before an animated feature in the cinemas, it was eventually repackaged as part of an Animaniacs episode in 1994.
