Warner Bros. Water Tower, Water tower at Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank, United States
The Warner Bros. Water Tower rises about 130 feet (40 meters) above the studio lot, displaying the WB shield logo on both sides of its cylindrical form. The tower holds roughly 100,000 gallons of water and belongs to the architectural ensemble of the studios.
After the Long Beach earthquake in 1933, the tower was relocated from its original position near the Fire Department. The move aimed to prevent interference with emergency services during future seismic events.
The steel structure serves as the fictional home of characters Yakko, Wakko, and Dot in the animated series Animaniacs. The landmark appears in the background of numerous studio productions.
Visitors see the tower during guided tours of the studio, where guides share details about its construction and role on the lot. The route typically passes several historic buildings along the way.
The structure occasionally receives fresh paint for special occasions such as film releases or company anniversaries. Such changes provide visual variety throughout the year.
