VHS Movie Reviews of Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish (Clam) [VHS]
Movie Review: Wakko's Wish is Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is cute and fun! It has new songs and all your favorite Animaniacs characters. Some of the songs and actions take after other famous musicals which makes it fun for the parents to watch and, of course, the kids are ALWAYS entertained by Wakko, Yakko, and their adorably cute sister Dot. =) Then again, I too am always entertained by the Warners.Movie Review: Great kids movie! Adults will love it too!
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie for the first time my first year of college. I'd always liked Animaniacs and I had to see this movie. It definately was a great tribute to the series. All the favorite characters are back (with the exception of Mr. Skullhead). The basics of the plot are the Warner Brothers (and the Warner sister) are orphans who are in a race against their village and a greedy king to reach a fallen wishing star and make their wish. It has alot of comedy (a must for the Animaniacs) and even some heartstring tuggers!
I loved the music (wouldn't be a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes without Franz Liszts' "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2")
It's a great movie, filled with humour both parents and kids can appreciate. I watched it last night with my friends and the humour we laughed at on the series was even funnier in our college days! A big two thumbs to the cast of such a wonderful series and movie (special Hi to Rob Paulsen from another transplanted Michigander!)
Movie Review: Not as good as the TV series, but not bad...
Summary: 4 Stars
If you haven't seen the "Animaniacs" TV series, "Wakko's Wish" might be a little hard to follow at times. The number of in-jokes are staggering, and a lot of the characters don't get enough screen time to properly introduce them. Still, the movie does give even the "Animaniacs virgin" a fair deal of exposure to the cast and relationships. The Warner Siblings are the stars of the show, of course, and although they never get quite as zany as they were in the TV series, they have several brilliant moments. Pinky and the Brain are also in great shape here, and a lot of the funniest moments in the movie are thanks to them. The rest of the cast make varied preformances -- The Goodfeathers do better in this movie than they ever did in the TV series, as do Mindy and Buttons, but Slappy isn't really up to par (mostly since she doesn't get to blow anything up), and Rita and Runt aren't used to their full potential here either.
For the people who HAVE seen the series, it's impossible not to compare the movie rather unfavorably to it. The TV series is funnier, has better music, is more intelligent and has more of that genuine charm that comes from really good animation. This isn't to say the movie is bad, but it does lack that little extra spark to raise it from merely "good" to "outstanding."
All gripes aside, "Wakko's Wish" is the first direct-to-video animated film I've seen that actually makes good use of the format. It's one of those rare movies that is more enjoyable the second time you watch it, because by then you know what's really going on, and a lot of the scenes that seemed overly-saccharine during the first viewing suddenly become delightfully ironic. This is a storytelling trick that is ideally suited to the direct-to-video format, since those types of movies ARE the ones most likely to be seen repeated times. I hope more producers will learn from this.
"Wakko's Wish" definitely deserves four stars out of five. It's quite good, while not up to par with Warner's very best.
Movie Review: Wow! Brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film was really great! I heard about it on the Internet but it's not available in the UK where I live so I had to beg my brother to try and get it when he went over to the USA. I had to wait a long time for it - and I wasn't disappointed. I'm nearly eighteen but I love Animaniacs and I thought Wakko's Wish was wicked! The songs were great and I couldn't stop laughing at the jokes. I definitely recommend this to any Animaniacs fan! I'd give it six stars if I could!Movie Review: Animaniacs are Crazy
Summary: 5 Stars
ok, I didnt really like the theme and all the songs and stuff, but the charecters are really cute. Im a lil too old for the corney music and to actually think its that funny, but Its still not that bad. The animaniacs go on a race to the wishing star in this movie.
