Wakko's Wish

Wakko's Wish is a 1999 direct-to-video animated film based on the Warner Bros. animated television series Animaniacs. The film provides a "climax" to the series and returns the show to its original format of balancing period settings with comedic satire, a route that was downplayed when the series went to its second season in favour of pure slapstick. The show's darker tone was also restored.

The film relocates all the Animaniacs characters to a quasi-medieval fairy tale world, in which they race to find a shooting star that will grant them a wish. This film was released on VHS only (there was no DVD release) in December 21, 1999 by Warner Home Video, and is typically aired on television during the same year's holiday season, despite not typically being a Christmas movie.

 * In the film, Warnerstock is invaded by the country of Ticktockia; this references the real world merger between Warner Bros. and Time Inc.. An animated map scene depicting the invasion sets the two countries roughly where Luxembourg would be in the real world.
