| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaFew films bearing the 'family' label truly hold appeal to all ages, but this is one glorious example where the classification rings true. |

| User ReviewMs. Kiba II LOVE THIS MOVIE!! I saw it the other day and I'm like, "YAY!! IT'S THIS MOVIE!!" :D |
| User ReviewJohn CThis movie was the Animaniacs' last hurrah before being pushed into few video games, then vanished completely into the water tower for good due to inane demographic reasons, even though other shows have the same sort of demographic of kids and adults and they remain on air to this day. While some parts of the movie definitely get dark, even controversial, it still retains a musical and zany charm, but this time with an actual story rather than nonsense. The story itself is rather lighthearted and fun to follow, albeit with the aforementioned dark moments, with the kid-friendly happy ending we've come to expect. Every actor reprises their role beautifully and the script and songs rather nicely written, with every character making an appearance, either as a main one or a cameo. Even though some characters, Warners included, act slightly out of character here, instead of zany nonsense 24/7, they do add definitive characteristics and traits to our titular trio, such as care, trust and determination for each other, rather than annoyance. At worst, it's only slightly jarring from characters like these, and at best, it's refreshing to see them in a new light as defined characters, coherent for adults and funny enough for kids, with not too many jokes that will fly by the heads of many. No Animaniacs collection is complete without this movie. If you can still find it in varying online stores, buy it now and watch for yourself as it is most likely the last major hurrah of this trio of memorable toons. We only hope to see them again in a future reboot, should the desire be high enough. |
| User ReviewRod GA Christmas Classic that has little to nothing to do with Christmas. Wakko's wish is wealthy in eye and ear candy for both young children and adults. Despite being a direct-to-video kids movie, you can certainly tell a lot of effort was put into this film. The movie looks amazing, the animation is even superior to the already fantastic looking Animaniacs cartoon show. The musical numbers are beautiful and well executed. The movie even manages to be somewhat touching without being over the top or sappy. This is a must-see for parents and kids-at-heart everywhere. |
| User ReviewDavid EFollowing it's cancellation by scumbag Jamie Kellner, "Animaniacs" released it's only feature film, "Wakko's Wish". Every family will enjoy this film as much as they enjoyed the show; I know I most certainly did. Now it may be a bit (just a tiny bit) dark on subject matter, but it is nevertheless an enjoyable film with great music, zany/dramatic moments, & the funny characters from the series making their return as one last hurrah. The Animaniacs may be gone, but they'll never be forgotten. |
| User ReviewSara Sit was a fantastic movie!!!! all the songs we're fantastic as well!!!! it had heart as well as funny moments. |
| User ReviewGeoffrey KFor a straight to video movie, it's a great movie, I grew up with these characters and this movie, even though it's not centered around the holidays, it just gets me in that kind of spirit for the holidays, if you haven't seen it I would definetly recommnend it, you laugh a lot in it, and the songs are just amazing. |
| User ReviewAndy Gi love it saw Animaniacs wen i was 13 - Yakko, Wakko and Dot |
| User ReviewFrank CArtist: Yakko (from Animaniacs) Song: Nations of The World Has anyone ever heard Yakko reel off every country in the world in a song? I've been listening to it again and again, and it's sheer brilliance. If you liked that there's Wakko doing the US capitals. Not as good, but the end is pretty funny if you remember the episode. |
