Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish, usually referred to as Wakko's Wish is just a 1999 American direct-to-video animated tragicomedy film based around the Warner Bros. 1993-98 animated series, Animaniacs, along with also the swansong to the original series before its renewal in 20 17. The film relocates all the Animaniacs characters to some mythic world and depicts their race to get the star that'll grant them a wish. The holiday is not one factor in its own plot, although events do take place through the winter while the film was published during the xmas season.
