Witty slapstick fun for all; some cartoon mayhem.

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

Rated: 3.5/4

The tonal shifts might not be to everybody's liking and all the inside jokes show that Animaniacs fans were prioritised over newcomers but vibrant animation, witty lyrics and, of course, the excellent comedy make Wakko's Wish a treat for fans of the hit '90s cartoon...and, as an intended grand finale, a chance for the crew to go out on a high note.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Wakko's Wish was a dream come true when I received it as a birthday present last year. I find it coincidental that it was released to DirectToVideo on the month and year I was born (Although not the same day). And when I got to see it, I absolutely loved it. I laughed my heart out, I enjoyed the songs, and heck I also cried very hard when Dot "died"; which made me want to punch King Salazar in the face! (Although she didn't really die, I just thought her acting talents did improve. And her cuteness went off the scale in this movie that I slightly felt like the Dennis Hopper character, only more awed). I give this movie a 100000/10
