Diagonaldi Very well executed

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

BlackJack_B The final Animaniacs project was released on VHS on Y2K Eve but I didn't see it until it aired on Teletoon Retro a few days ago.All the characters from the show are here but instead of being in their natural habitats they have all been placed in a town called Acme Hills. The Warners and friends are under the oppression of evil King Salazar; who took over their land in a hostile takeover and forces those in Acme Hills to live in abject poverty. As well, Dot needs an operation to help save her life. Wakko goes into the outside world and he returns with a Ha'penny which he intends to use to pay for the operation. However, Baron (Thaddeus) Plotz takes the money away as taxes and leaves Wakko broke again.Wakko then makes a wish to the stars and Pip (a character similar to the one Ben Stein voiced in an episode) grants Wakko his wish but he must trek to where it fell. He tells everybody about the news and it ends up being a mad dash to reach the star, including Baron Plotz and the Evil King Salazar.Wakko's Wish, sadly, isn't the ultimate Animaniacs movie I had hoped for. The story is done to death and the Animaniacs come off this time around as dull. Very few moments of zaniness abound and those moments are the only reason to sludge through the badly disjointed and overlong songs and redundant plot devices. The voice acting is good but it seems many characters have been toned down a lot, such as Jess Harnell's Wakko (who sounds more Continental than British) and Pinky (seemingly less nutty) among others. The animation is terrific and the characters have never looked better but everything else screams mediocre. If you're a huge Animaniacs fan as I am, you should still see the movie and decide for yourself if they finished the series with a bang or a whimper. I feel it was both and that's never a good result.

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.

SSJAniFan I used to love Animaniacs, but recently I have realized what an utter piece of revolting, worthless, contrived trash this show really is. With gags repeating over and over again, and purely awful musical numbers, you'll wonder why anyone like this stupid, overrated show. Needless to say, the movie is more of the same, with those stupid gags and crappy songs that will make your ears bleed. The plot? Don't get me started. The gang is in some town ruled by an evil king/tyrant, who's constantly taxing the poor citizens of said town. It eventually turns into some quest to look for a magic meteor or something like that. Let's just say if you're looking for something original, you'd better turn off the television right now. Man, what a waste of great talent, like Tress MacNeille, Rob Paulsen, and Maurice LaMarche, and of course, Frank Welker.BOTTOM LINE: Fans of this stupid series will probably like it, but for everyone else, avoid.

paul.neubauer Wakko's Wish does what Animaniacs fans have come to expect, and in fact demand. The story is entertaining at multiple levels, from the purely visual, to the slapstick, to clever wordplay, to subtle cultural references that surface on watching for the second or third time.It may look like it is a Disney-esque thing. If you expect that, you may be uneasy when Wakko's Wish gives it what-for and does what Warner Bros. cartoons have always done: had fun with things and not let anyone or anything off the hook.
