Continuity: During the Snow Chase Scene, a cannonball can be seen being shot through the front end and exiting through the back corner of Dr. Scratchensniff's buggy. However, Baron von Plotz and Ralph's buggy are chasing them from behind shooting cannons at them, making it impossible for the cannonball to enter the Dr.'s buggy from the front end. more
Quotes:
Yakko Warner, Wakko Warner: [singing Jingle Bells] Sailing through the slush/In a wind-blown wagon sled/Down the road we mush/Dot is still in bed!
Dot Warner: [singing] I'm getting really bored/I've read this magazine/If we don't get there soon/I think I'm gonna scream!
Yakko Warner, Wakko Warner, Dot Warner: [sings the chorus] Oh, wishing star, from afar/Dot is getting worse/Be a sport and grant our wish or we'll sing another verse!

Author: La Gremlin from Boston, MA

"Animaniacs" was a cartoon that always struck me as good but highly inconsistent. At any given time there were at least two dozen characters on the show. Each of them starred in their own segments. Some of them worked, some of them didn't. And some of them fell flat.

This problem is finally eliminated in "Wakko's Wish". All of the characters, good (the Warners, Pinky and the Brain), bad (the Goodfeathers, the Hip Hippos), and pointless (Chicken Boo) are involved in this one major story. The story is a tad sentimental for an "Animaniacs" movie but they have a lot of fun parodying the expected cliches as they go along. Check it out, it's a lot of fun. And it's got "Tiny Toons: Summer Vacation" beat by miles.
