Warner Bros. announces ANIMANIACS feature on video

Posted In | News Categories: Home Entertainment | Geographic Region: All | Site Categories: Home Entertainment
On December 21, 1999 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 feature
10 original songs created specifically for the movie. The film begins in
the little village of Acme Falls -- where the once-cheerful and prosperous
villagers, including those wacky siblings 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. More than 1 million kids watch
ANIMANIACS every week on Kids' WB, the WB television network's children's
programming block, 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. Each copy of "Wakko's Wish"
will include a free, exclusive on-pack spinning toy featuring the movie's
stars -- Yakko, Wakko and Dot. With the premiere of the "Century 2000
Collection," Warner Home Video will debut the "Century Club," an online
savings program that will allow video buyers who enroll in the club to
receive special rewards via e-mail, including retail coupons for future
"Century 2000" purchases, and rebate offers from Warner Bros. Consumer
Products, Warner Publishing, Warner Bros. On-Line, Warner Bros. Music, Kid
Rhino and WB Interactive. Animaniacs fans can visit the WAKKO'S WISH Web
site at www.warnerbros.com and will be able to win exciting prizes
including free copies of WAKKO'S WISH. WAKKO'S WISH will retail for
US$19.96.
