Witty slapstick fun for all; some cartoon mayhem.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish is a 1999 holiday special based on the well-received Animaniacs TV series (1993–1995). It's filled with the familiar characters introduced in that show; the central characters are Wakko, Yakko, and Dot Warner, while support is provided by Pinky and the Brain, Slappy and Skippy Squirrel, Mindy and Buttons, and so on. Cartoon action and danger, meant to be funny, includes falls, explosions, snarling dogs, cannon fire, an avalanche, crashes, and chases. Kids who are clear about "real" versus "pretend" violence should have no difficulty here. And there's enough irreverence, cultural satire, and clever musical numbers to keep adults engaged.
