Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish, usually referred to as Wakko's Wish, is a 1999 animated musical comedy-drama film created exclusively on video. The film is based on the Warner Bros. 1993–98 animated series Animaniacs, and serves as the series finale. It relocates all of the Animaniacs characters to a quasi-medieval fairy tale world and portrays their race to find the wishing star that will grant them a wish. While the film was released during the Christmas season, the holiday is not a factor in its plot, though the events do take place during winter.
Wakko's Wish was first released on VHS on December 21, 1999 by Warner Home Video and Warner Bros. Family Entertainment. It contained 10 original songs and starred Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell and Tress MacNeille reprising their roles as Animaniacs characters Yakko, Wakko, and Dot.
