Quotes:

Brain Mouse: Pinky, I knew I'd find you out here wasting time with this horse.
Pinky: But Pharfigneuten and I have pledged out hearts to each other!
Brain Mouse: Pinky, that is a horse. You are a mouse.
Pinky: Oh, Brain, don't be so intolerant. Why can't the horses and the mice live together in harmony? Along with the fairies and the wood sprites and the bean sprouts?
Brain Mouse: I stand corrected, Pinky. That is a horse, you are an imbisile.
Pinky: Thank you!

References Citizen Kane (1941)

Wakko's Wish is a wish come true for all!

This is the best movie I have ever seen in a long time! I myself wondered if the Animaniacs could occupy a 90 minute movie, well the answer is, absolutely! Their antics are fresh and new, not simply a long and drawn out episode. The lyrics are original and creative, and add an exciting touch to these lovable characters! This is a must see for anyone!
