Wakko's Wish (1999)

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.

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 where the greedy Baron von Plotz is taxing the villagers to the max. In order to improve things in Acme Falls, Wakko formulates a plan which involves making a wish on a wishing star that has fallen to Earth.

During this entertaining romp, viewers will enjoy ten original songs and the original voice talents from the TV series. Many of the supporting characters from the series show up playing the residents of Acme falls. As "Animaniacs" no longer airs in syndication, seeing this film is a great way revisit the brilliance of this incredible show.

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!
