What happens

Wakko's Wish (also known as Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish and originally titled as Wakko's Wakko Wish) is a 1999 American animated musical comedy-adventure fantasy direct-to-video film based on the 1993–1998 animated series Animaniacs, and serves as the series finale related to the show before the 2020 revival of the series. It relocates all of the Animaniacs characters to a quasi-19th century fairy tale world and portrays their race to find the wishing star that will grant them a wish. The film was first released on VHS by Warner Home Video on December 21, 1999. It contains 10 original songs and features a majority of the voice cast reprising their respective roles from the TV show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
