(Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Direct to Video Feature)
The citizens of Acme Falls (the Animaniacs gang) and all of Warnerstock once lived in peace and prosperity. Then, Tictockia's evil King Salazar took over. Ever since, everyone's been heavily taxed by Baron Thaddeus von Plotz and Ralph. It's gotten so bad that Yakko and Wakko can't afford an operation that Dot needs. One night, Wakko wishes on a star and is told by Pip, the Desire Fulfillment Facilitator that he will indeed get one wish. He must touch the star first, however, and it has landed far away. Yakko, Wakko and Dot head out to claim the wish, as word quickly spreads. Soon enough, the desire for a wish prompts Pinky & the Brain, Dr. Otto Scratchensniff, Hello Nurse and many other familiar faces to also head out. Unfortunately, King Salazar will stop at nothing to get that wish.moreless

    This movie is... good. Not quite up to par with the original series, but it's still good. The humor seems to be directed at the kids half the time insted of the parents in the room. That was the appeal of the original series. This is a kids movie, no question about it.


    The second problem I have with this movie is that cartoons can age. In the series, it clearly says in sevral episodes that cartoons are drawn one age, and they stay that way forever. I liked that, because it proves that even though the show ended a decade ago, Yakko Wakko and Dot could still be causing havic over at the water tower. Here, however, Yakko tells Dot the story of when she was born, and at the end it shows a picture of them as toddlers. That's my main problem with this movie, actually. This movie is well written, and the art is great. It's a very entertaining picture, and it does Animaniacs justice. It's definatly not a bad movie, it's actually one of my favorites. The sad parts are truely sad, and they did make me a little teary eyed. What they get right, they get really right.moreless
