Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

nflfanatic99 First, I saw some Animaniacs shorts. They were smart, witty, and funny. Then I saw THIS. I was bloody outraged.Where's the water tower? Where's the Warner lot? What happened here?!?! Instead, we get sucked into "Acme Falls" (???) and a childish plot where Yakko, Wakko, and Dot search for the "wishing star" to bring hope to a desperate village. If I wanted to see a childish plot like this, I would've turned on Teletubbies!YES, I ACTUALLY LIKENED AN ANIMANIACS MOVIE TO TELETUBBIES!!!But the worst part was near the end, where Dot gets mortally wounded by a cannonball and dies, then when Wakko goes into the wishing star and makes his wish, GUESS WHAT?!?! SHE LIVES!!!!! OMFG! Ever since I was introduced to Animaniacs, I wanted to see that bitch die. She's like a washed up celebrity, like Hannah Montana, she thinks she's cute, but she's NOT. And she just HAS to rub it off on the other characters! F&#% her to HELL!You understand why this piece of sh%# wasn't released in theaters? Because it SUCKED SO BAD! Do not buy this. EVER. In fact, do not mention a word of this garbage to ANYONE, unless they're an Animaniacs fan. If you're gonna rush a movie out to DVD about an awesome TV show, make sure it bears a resemblance to the show! They did it with Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Summer Vacation.

Steffu To be honest, I grew up with Animaniacs and I loved it ever since it came out and into my life, and when I saw the movie like 3 years ago I was excited cos it was Animaniacs but...seeing it fully one time, I actually have to say, it wasn't bad for a finale or a Direct to Video movie, but...weren't the Warner siblings a little out of character, notably Wakko for being the responsible one of the group that and Yakko when being more of the parent as well considering that hes the oldest.Also the fact that pushing nearly every character has been seen even background or one off characters (the nanny in the SOM parody and Katie KaBoom), also Minerva Mink was seen in a few spots and yet, no one still knows why she wasn't put in the background or anything, since her character was too saucy anyway.However, it wasn't bad for a movie as I said above, the fact that it was a little too childish put it off and everyone outta character almost, they did kinda make it sorta Disney esquire with the REPRISE at the end of the movie, and of course, thumbs up for fitting in the Wheel of Morality at the end.There was one or two scenes I admit (WARNING, spoiler) making me cry and they were the scenes where Yakko was comforting Dot when she was sick, I cried when both happened, out of character but still incredibly emotional.Also, maybe some of these wishes in the films still may NOT be true since everyone in the film weren't in Burbank like they were in the TV series, but more just done for the film, because it was like a Fairy Tale.However, I did enjoy the film since I am a huge fan of Animaniacs. THey just needed to work more on the humour

MisterWhiplash The problem with Wakko's Wish is a matter of it coming long after the Animaniacs had run their course. Granted, the funny spin-off show the Pinky and the Brain was still running fine, but Wakko's Wish is mostly a pap-filled musical (overloaded with songs if you ask me), and not with the same overall verve of sharp humor. What I loved about the original show was that it was aimed at kids, and it was a very good one in terms of wacky humor and delightful oddball side characters, but it also had a sense of humor that went for the gleefully deranged that aged well. Unfortunately, I can sense how Wakko's Wish was probably packaged as a big grab bag for everything in the show and packed into a silly story for kids. Actually, there isn't much story here anyway, except for the set-up: in a small village Baron Thaddeus von Plotz III robs the poor to feed himself via taxes, leaving everyone destitute. Wakko decides after a year's wait to go find riches of his own to help pay for an operation for Dot, and though completely overjoyed when he returns with a hay-penny, Plotz steals it anyway. He makes a wish on a star, and the star gets shot away to another place far away, leading everyone in the village off to find the star.Not that it isn't fun to see all of the old characters again, and the nostalgia meter is fine in that regard, the same edge is dulled away with smaller laughs in shorter spurts. Only Pinky and the Brain, oddly enough, really garner the best bits, with one line in particular from Brain ("Pinky, you left the lens cap of you mind on again") that reminded me of how I could be hysterical from watching the show. There's even a decent bit involving the Warners conning a vindictive King who just wants them exterminated so he can have the star all to himself. But in the end, the songs really get more in the way than they should, with it being more redundant than a necessary entertainment for the sake of it all. Maybe I should've expected it, as it was a straight-to-video release with occasional TV play. Yet as a tie-in to the holidays meant to inspire cheer and good-will and all those vibes, it's just sort of stupid. I wouldn't say that it isn't worth seeing though if you were already a fan of either Spielberg exec-produced show, and if you have little kids it might be worth a good few chuckles with them. It aims low enough and comes out neither horribly wrong or exceptional.

mrgray83 Wakko's Wish is the full length gift to us from Animaniacs. 75% of the jokes try to hard. The good thing is that there are some pretty good musical numbers in the beginning of the film, but even they diminish in quality throughout the film. They made Pinky a lot stupider than he was during the show, and made Brain a lot less tolerant towards him. And as with any musical, everyone from the show is singing, but we could have went without some of the solos, particularly from Aunt Slappy's little nephew, who mumbles all his singing lines. I guess that was supposed to be cute but for the most part, it sucks. With all that said, this is still pretty funny. The 25% of the jokes and stunts that kick tale are pretty good. I wouldn't recommend more than one viewing though. Go watch the show instead.
