- In 1999, Animaniacs was pretty much on its last leg as Kids WB's signature show -- many of its writers and voice actors had moved on to Histeria! and Pokémon was fast becoming the most successful show of the block -- but at the end of the year, the series was given a Grand Finale in the form of the direct-to-video movie Wakko's Wish. In the film's continuity, the majority of the regular cast of Animaniacs -- and a few extras here and there -- are living happily in Acme Falls, a nice town in the peaceful kingdom of Warnerstock that is ruled by Sir William the Good. When King William passes away, King Salazar the Pushy of the neighboring kingdom Ticktockia takes over Warnerstock and sends everyone into misery thanks to overtaxing. The Warners -- Yakko, Wakko, and Dot -- are a trio of orphans who are suffering more than any other Acme Falls resident, especially Dot (who is in need of a vital operation). One cold winter night, Wakko wishes upon a star -- and happens to choose the one wishing star in the sky, which then falls into the mountains; the first person to touch it gets exactly one wish. The Warner siblings, eager to make their dreams come true, begin their quest to get to the wishing star so Wakko can make his wish -- but the rest of the citizens of Acme Falls are after it as well, and so is King Salazar. Who will get to the wishing star first and make their wish? Well, the title does give it away... but not completely, since Wakko wished he'd find the star and he did, but to make another wish he'd have to get to it.
