Amazon.com: This made-for-video feature-length animated movie finds the Animaniacs living in Acme Falls, a town in the country of Warnerstock, which is overthrown by a greedy king who taxes the good citizens into a state of pennilessness. Wakko, Yakko, and Dot are displaced royal orphans who have fallen on hard times until Wakko makes a wish to save his ailing sis. Pip, the desire fulfillment facilitator (the ever dry Ben Stein), directs him toward a fallen star. The first one who touches it will have a wish come true. The race is on, with the king, Pinky and the Brain, and other Warner characters giving the trio a run for the money--literally. Along the way, viewers are treated to big musical numbers and jokes about everyone and everything from Snow White to the mayor of Washington, D.C. Of course, the kids make it in the nick of time, Dot gets her operation, and the economy of Acme Falls is revitalized. The story is directed at kids 5 and up, with much of the humor aimed squarely at their parents. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Rating: - Wakko's Wish
This movie is not what I expected. The content is a little advanced for 4-5 year olds. But the characters are really cute.
Rating: - Lives up to the Series
This feature-length film is a must see for anyone who appreciates the clever and hilarious wit that made Steven Spielberg's "Animaniacs" shine on the small screen. Unlike numerous movies based on television series, this one actually does justice to the show on which is was based.
While the plot obviously still revolves around the Warner siblings, this film does not recycle the premise of the TV show. In this quirky story, Yakko, Wakko and Dot live in a medieval town called Acme Falls ... Read More
Rating: - Great but, why not Region 2?
I saw this movie on Cartoon Network years ago and I thought it was an absolutely brilliant movie! But, just before I was thinking of putting this on my Christmas list, I found out that you can only get this in the US and even worst, they only do this on Video. That means you can't make your DVD Player region-free and easily without fuss put it in and watch it because it's not on DVD! PLEASE re-release this on DVD and this time maybe, internationally!
Rating: - Better then good
My god i know i was being generous with the five stars, but come on! This movie has it, it's got comdey, it's got romance (Between Pinky and a horse), it's got a sad part in it that made me cried, THE TENTH TIME I SAW IT! I mean everytime i watch that scene with Dot and Yakko that she is about to die, it just makes me have a tear drop. I mean this movie is like a god, some times you get sick of the songs, but they are catchy, there's one about money, catching the wishing star, if you make a wish what ... Read More
Rating: - Wakko's Wish Is Amazingly Heartwarming and Fun!
Always a big fan of the Animaniacs I love the teo brother sn the sister named Yakko, Wakko and Dot.
This is the story of Wish that can be granted to anyone in the old town of Acme Falls. Every Animaniac character has a role in this story that involves everyone in a race.
Little Dot needs an operation, the town is Poor, the Nurse is confused as being just good-looking and the Brain still wants to take over the world.
It is filled with music, fun, action, chases and even ... Read More
