A Star Is Burns" is first broadcast; it is a crossover with The Critic and guest stars
Jon Lovitz and
Maurice LaMarche.

Gary Goldman's The Pebble and the Penguin premieres, one of the five lesser Bluth films and to be the most troublesome from his experience. Due to production problems, Bluth and Goldman opt not to be credited.[5] Consequently,
his Irish animation studio closed down by bankruptcy.
December 22:
Amblin Entertainment's Balto premieres. This is the last animated feature produced by
