On December 21, Warner Home Video will debut the first feature-length, fully-animated Animaniacs movie, "Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs Wakko's Wish."

"Wakko's Wish" will be the flagship offering in the first wave of the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment "Century 2000 Collection," which will bring audiences 11 Family Movie Favorites. "Wakko's Wish" will be available at a $19.96 SRP and will feature 10 original songs created specifically for the movie.

The cartoon mayhem begins in the little village of Acme Falls - where the once-cheerful and prosperous villagers, including Yakko, Wakko and Dot, are being taxed to the max by the greedy Baron von Plotz. Things start looking brighter when Wakko miraculously picks the one star in the sky that can make his wish for happiness come true. The catch is, in order for Wakko's wish to be granted, he must travel very, very far to where the star has fallen to Earth and touch it before anyone else does.

When Pinky and the Brain, Slappy and Skippy Squirrel, Mindy and Buttons and a menagerie of other well-known "Animaniacs" co-stars learn about the "wishing star," they too set out on a journey to reach the star in order to land their varied wishes. The quest for the enchanted star takes our animated adventurers across vast snowy country, through near-disasters, and ultimately, to a showdown with the Kingdom's evil ruler, King Salazar (A.K.A. "Salad Bar").

"Animaniacs" is one of the most successful and celebrated animated series of all time. More than one million kids watch "Animaniacs" every week on Kids WB!, the WB television network's children's programming service, and the series has won eight Daytime Emmy Awards, including two awards for "Outstanding Animated Children's Program." The series is now in its seventh year on the air.
