Truly Dreadful Film

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

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.

I am a proud lover of Animaniacs. I love the show so much my classroom where I teach is filled with trinkets and statues dedicated to the show, along with a Rob Paulson autographed statue of Pinky and video cassettes of the show and Pinky and the Brain I occasionally use to illustrate points I am teaching about throughout the year. So, I am a definite fan and a charter member of the PLEASE, PLEASE GET A LIFE FOUNDATION.Unfortunately, this final farewell from Animaniacs is one of the biggest disappointments in film. Instead of the edgy and non-stop humor, some bonehead had the bright idea of making the film maudlin. I hate PATHOS!!! Give me anvils dropping on Baloney's head or make Dr. Scratchnsnif lose his marbles with incessant annoyances--DON'T make the Animaniacs something they are not! This is to be avoided by fans and non-fans--as it gives the impression that this is a worthless show when it is far from true--it's just a worthless movie.

"Animaniacs" was a cartoon that always struck me as good but highly inconsistent. At any given time there were at least two dozen characters on the show. Each of them starred in their own segments. Some of them worked, some of them didn't. And some of them fell flat.This problem is finally eliminated in "Wakko's Wish". All of the characters, good (the Warners, Pinky and the Brain), bad (the Goodfeathers, the Hip Hippos), and pointless (Chicken Boo) are involved in this one major story. The story is a tad sentimental for an "Animaniacs" movie but they have a lot of fun parodying the expected cliches as they go along. Check it out, it's a lot of fun. And it's got "Tiny Toons: Summer Vacation" beat by miles.

Wakko's wish is a very worthy finale to the series. While some have complained that it isn't like the show at all, I don't really think it is meant to be. Nor should it. Does anyone really want to see 90 minutes of out and out zanyness? Instead, we get a rather touching story that gives all the characters and emotional weight they never really had before. And of course, we still get the zanyness, it's just placed within a larger framework.Personally, I would love to see more Animaniacs stories done in this exact style (hope hope hope!).With Wakko's Wish, Animaniacs ends it's run with a solid piece of work, very unlike the show in many ways, and for that I am glad. Nothing could have been worse for it to finish with something that was basically just another episode.
