### **Prologue: The Blunders of Yore**
The movie begins with a flashback set in the nostalgic, vibrantly animated world of the 90s. The Warner siblings—Yakko, Wakko, and Dot—are at the peak of their fame with their chaotic show, *Animaniacs*. One day, a sketchy producer offers them roles in an ambitious sci-fi movie. Yakko, ever cautious, warns against it, but Dot and Wakko, eager for the "next big thing," sign the contract. Unbeknownst to them, this ill-fated decision leads to the show’s sudden cancellation.
As the camera pans out from the bustling Warner Bros. studio, the screen transitions to grayscale, showing the studio grounds being abandoned. The words "30 Years Later..." appear on screen, and the scene fades into the present day.

### **Act 1: Stark Contrasts in Present Day**
Yakko, now sporting a more worn-out look complete with glasses and a suit, toils away in a monotonous office job. Though his humor occasionally sparks among the cubicles, his life is far from the world of laughter he once knew.
Meanwhile, Dot and Wakko have opted for CGI surgery, now appearing as sleek, modern computer-generated characters in their successful venture at Comic-Con conventions. Dot, elegant and poised, and Wakko, with his mature yet mischievous grin, revel in their fame and fortune. However, a deep sense of longing for their brother and their past glory days lingers in the background.
Their reunion is serendipitous when all three siblings receive an anonymous tip about the disappearances of several beloved animated and live-action characters, including their childhood friend, Gogo Dodo. Realizing the gravity of the situation, they decide to join forces once again.
---
### **Act 2: Investigative Reunion**
The trio, joined by a stern yet sympathetic police officer, Shawn Spencer, start their investigation. They discover clues pointing towards a disgruntled, gritty-voiced Elmo, who now runs a secretive crime empire. Elmo has grown bitter—once a beloved icon of children's television, he now plots revenge against the industry that left him behind.
Further digging reveals Elmo's henchmen: Leonard the 2D Lion, Wally the unsettling CGI Wolf, and Vlad the claymation character. Each henchman brings their unique, often comedic, flaws to their villainous roles. Their incompetence adds a strange familiarity and humor to the narrative allowing the blend of emotions from humor to dangerous thrills.
The siblings uncover Elmo’s master plan involving a nefarious machine that mutates characters, forcing them into making subpar bootleg versions of their legendary work. Coins are metaphorically dropped, and arguments arise between the Warner siblings as the stress and unresolved regret bubble to the surface. They exchange harsh words and painful truths, reflecting 30 years of frustration and heartbreak.
---
### **Act 3: The Climactic Showdown**
Infiltrating Elmo’s lair, a cacophony of mixed animation styles converges in a dazzling blend of live-action, CGI, traditional 2D, and stop-motion. Through wit, trickery, and a touch of nostalgia-fueled ingenuity, the Warners navigate the labyrinthine villain’s abode.
The climactic battle sees Yakko, Dot, and Wakko going head-to-head with Elmo, now transformed into a grotesque amalgamation of various animated characters via his own malfunctioning machine. As Yakko tries to confront Elmo, Dot and Wakko find themselves on the brink of peril but manage to outsmart Wally and Leonard, utilizing their unique animation transformations for comedic yet tactical advantages.
A final skirmish sees Elmo overpowered by the siblings utilizing their longstanding "comic mischief," albeit executed with far more seriousness and resolve. As the FBI, led by Pinocchio, arrives to arrest Elmo and his henchmen, a final desperate move from Elmo injures Dot and Wakko, leaving Yakko to fear the worst. His heartfelt apology is followed by the revelation that the badges Yakko gave them earlier, embodying their sibling bond, saved their lives.

### **Epilogue: Redemption and Revival**
The siblings, reunited and reconciled, rescue all the kidnapped characters from the warehouse. The final scenes show a grand celebration of their triumphant victory. The world of animation, now rid of the dark shadow cast by Elmo, bursts forth in vibrant colors and multiple animation styles, marking the return of the true spirit of *Animaniacs*.
As credits roll, interwoven with snippets of the newly rebooted *Animaniacs* show, the legacy of Yakko, Dot, and Wakko solidifies once again as a beacon of joy and laughter in an ever-evolving world.

Prompt: Write the crossover film (with live action (live actors and puppets), computer animation, traditional 2D animation, and stop-motion animation) called "Animaniacs: Animational Return", which is similar to Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (a 2022 film), that features the three Animaniacs characters, Yakko Warner, Dot Warner, and Wakko Warner, as the film's main protagonists, who, in the very beginning of the film, unintentionally got their show cancelled by having Dot and Wakko sign a contract (despite Takko's plead on not signing the contract) to have the three of them be in a sci-fi movie, which was never made. The film is then set to 30 years later, into modern times, when Dot and Wakko (now with adult voices through age and acting more mature and grown-up due to their age) had CGI surgery to make them computer-animated instead of being traditionally 2D-animated (like some other characters from other media, including but not limited to the Smurfs) and have thrived in their Comic-Con business, while Yakko (now with an adult voice through age and acting more mature and grown-up due to his age) is struggling with his job at an office workplace. Later, these three characters reunited together once again and, along with the protagonistic police officer, investigate the disappearances of several animated characters (including their best friend Gogo Dodo) and live action characters. The film's main villain/antagonist is Elmo (from Sesame Street), who is now an adult/grownup (with a gruffy man voice) rather than a kid (due to natural aging from being a kid since many years ago) and is no longer beloved by people and had lost his job, and Elmo is very bitter and hateful, running a crime business and has three trusty yet-incompetent henchmen (Leonard the 2D-drawn lion (voiced by David Tennant), Wally the CGI (dead-eyed Polar Express-styled) anthropomorphic wolf (voiced by Chris Parnell), and Vlad the Gumby-styled claymation character (voiced by Jack Black)). Elmo and his henchmen would be responsible for the kidnappings of the several characters (like Sandy from Spongebob, Pinocchio from Shrek, Rico from Madagascar, Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes, Rush from Megaman, Indy the Indoraptor from Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom (who can talk and act like a human, unlike his character, the unnamed Indoraptor from the Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom film, since that's just the character he played as in that Jurassic World Movie), Iron Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who were kidnapped a few years before the modern times) and these kidnapped characters have one thing in common; they had failed to come to Elmo's terms of owing money, thus they have their appearances altered by the large operating machine designed to alter animated and life action characters' bodies, and are shipped overseas to produce horrible bootlegs of their works for the rest of their lives (unless some of them have been already rescued and restored to their previous state like Indy, Rush, Rico, and Sandy, who are saved near the end of the film alongside Gogo Dodo and others). This film would have conflicts between characters, and the three protagonists would fight over each other, with Yakko fighting Dot and Wakko for having agreed to sign a contract 30 years ago and the two fighting Yakko for him bossing them and him not recognizing their internal pain of Yakko's harshness in choice, but that argument would finally be settled after the film's final battle and reconcile. Near the final battle of the film, the four protagonists battle Elmo and his henchmen, as the machine that alters any animated and life action characters' bodies malfunctions and shoot at Wally (who becomes a tiny fly but retaining Wally's wolf head, and his voice becomes high-pitch and quite even when shouting), making Elmo laugh with malice and dark humor, but Elmo is then shot by the machine and painfully transforms into a giant amalgamation of various animated and live action characters, which consists of Elmo's torso (for his torso), Snowball's (from the Secret Life of Pet's film) head (for his head), Zurg's (from the Toy Story franchise) hand cannon (for his right arm), Indominus Rex's (from Jurassic World) clawed arm (for his left hand), Hulk's (from the Marvel Cinematic Universe) leg (for his right leg), and Daffy Duck's (from the Looney Tunes series) leg (for his left leg). Elmo then used his mutated form to his advantage against Yakko, Dot, and Wakko, but the three heroes, learning from what mischief they did in their show, used their comic mischief (albeit with more seriousness due to the three protagonists' adult ages) to fight back against Elmo, with difficulty but succeeds against Elmo. After the final battle, the FBI, led by Pinocchio (from Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio 2022 film), arrives to arrest Elmo and all of his henchmen (including his three main henchmen), but not long before Elmo shot Dot and Wakko, before Elmo was taken away by the FBI for Elmo's and his henchmen's crimes. Yakko then finds Dot and Wakko unconscious, fearing they are dead from Elmo's hand cannon, apologizing for his behavior towards Dot and Wakko, before Dot and Wakko wakes up (revealing that the badges that Yakko gave them saved their lives against Elmo) and they accept Yakko's apology, and then find a warehouse storing many more kidnapped animated characters (including but not limited to Yakko's, Dot's, and Wakko's best friend Gogo Dodo) and live action characters were in it and, thanks to the FBI and Yakko, Dot, and Wakko, were all rescued by them. At the end of the film, the three characters Yakko, Dot, and Wakko made an Animaniacs remake and was an instantly huge success. This film would be a live-action/animated adventure comedy film and have a similar, but not identical plot to the Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2022 film.
