In mid-1995, the Animaniacs cast get to take a break after the production of their new episode to be released to the public. However, an evil, former animator named Louie Crack (Bill Hader), sees this and, reflecting a time the cast caused him to get fired, tries to get revenge on them by destroying their episode and their reputation. When Yakko reads a letter from Crack saying that he will get his revenge on them, he gathers himself, his siblings Wakko and Dot, the rest of the Animaniacs characters, Steven Speilberg (herself), and fan of their show Tara Strong (also played by herself) as a team to try and stop Crack.
