Animaniacs (film)

Animaniacs is a live-action/traditionally-computer-animated musical adventure comedy film written and directed by Tom Ruegger and excutively produced by Steven Spielberg. It is based on the animated series of the same name. It is the first theatrical Animaniacs film and the second film overall (behind Wakko's Wish).

Synopsis
Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner are cartoon characters from the past that spent most of their lives locked in the WB water tower. They follow the same routine every day: they escape, they wreak havoc, they get chased by the WB staff, etc. Deciding that they're sick and tired of the same old shtick, the wild and wacky kids escape from Burbank, California to roam free (and also drive more people crazy). Upon learning of their disappearance, WB CEO Thaddeus Plotz (Lewis Black) organizes a search party for the Warners and the rest of the Animaniacs all get involved, from Pinky and the Brian to the Rita and Runt to Skippy and Slappy. However, they may not be the only ones who are looking for the Warners.
