The plot itself is very good simple and easy to understand for the youngsters, but leaves enough meat for the creative humor that attracts adults to this show. The music itself is outstanding as composed by Randy Rogel, including several original works as well as a lyrical adaptation of Liszt's 'Hungarian Rhapsody #2' that does an excellent job of progressing the plot instead of being an aside to it. However, those that are familiar with the show will recognize that music plays a significant role in both the series and in the movie. If you have never seen Animaniacs, this movie may not be the best place to start: there's a lot of in-jokes (such as Dot's story, Pinky and Pharfignewton's relationship, and the oddities in the Cave), and the large number of musical bits may remind you of typical theatric animated films. Wakko's Wish continues this tradition with a plot that combines all the major Animaniacs characters, adds a large number of well-done musical numbers, humor for all ages, and overall is an excellent addition (and hopefully not a conclusion) to the Animaniacs series. One of the key factors that went into the development of Animaniacs was the vaudeville-type nature of the show: a large cast of characters with some headliners, and a little bit of something for everyone of all ages. Wakko's Wish (1999) was meant as the finale to the series and it was something every Animaniacs fan wanted to see, with the characters ending an arc that was present in the show and seeing them all together is what will satisfy your inner child! I have loved the show Animaniacs for like forever, it is so cute, fun, witty and just something I really loved watching. A solid ending for one of the 90's animated gems.
