# Animaniacs: Animational Return
### "A Haunting Ink House Production and Warner Bros. Animation Collaboration"
## Prologue: The Contract
The camera pans a vibrant Hollywood skyline, settling on the illustrious Warner Bros. Studios lot. Outside the lot’s bustling entrance in 1992, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner sign the contract that will inadvertently alter their destinies. A shady producer, with a space-age movie poster in hand, gleefully watches them.
**Yakko Warner:**
"Just sign here, here, and here! Easy peasy!"
With stars in their eyes, they trade the dynamic world of "Animaniacs" for the promise of a sci-fi blockbuster that never sees the light of day. Unbeknownst to them, the studio shelves their beloved show, leaving Yakko, Wakko, and Dot in animated limbo.
## Chapter 1: Thirty Years Later
### Scene: Comic-Con Legends and Office Obscurity
The scene transitions to a bustling, modern-day Comic-Con, where fans scramble for autographs and collectible merchandise. Amongst the colorful chaos stand Wakko and Dot, now gleaming in CGI form, basking in the adoration of their loyal fans.
**Dot Warner:**
"Isn’t it just marvelous, Wakko? They love us more than ever!"
**Wakko Warner:**
"Yeah! But it’s kinda sad that Yakko’s not—"
The camera fades, transitioning to the stark contrast of a mundane office setting where Yakko, still paddling in his traditional 2D form, struggles with a mountain of paperwork, his zest for life dimmed.
**Co-worker:**
"Hey Yakko, you got those TPS reports?"
**Yakko Warner:**
"Right here. Living the dream."
### Scene: A Sibling Reunion
Fate intervenes when Dot and Wakko visit Yakko to propose a get-together. The three Warner siblings are hilariously and affectionately reunited, their chemistry as sparkling as ever. Their moment of nostalgia is interrupted by alarming news from a local police officer, Officer Harris.
**Officer Harris:**
"We’ve got a situation—animated and live-action characters are disappearing."
## Chapter 2: The Investigation
## Scene: Enter Detective Mode
Yakko, Wakko, and Dot team up with Officer Harris, setting off on a trail of humorous and hazardous escapades. Their first clue points them towards a dilapidated building with an eerie neon sign: "Elmo's Emporium."
## Scene: The Real Elmo
The trio sneaks inside to discover an astonishing sight—a once-beloved children’s character, Elmo, now transformed. The years have been harsh; his once soft and childlike voice replaced by a gruff, bitter growl. His faithful yet bumbling henchmen—the two-dimensional Leonard the Lion, the CGI Wally the Wolf, and the claymation Vlad—stand guard.
**Elmo:**
"You three?! I should’ve known!"
Elmo reveals his sinister scheme, driven by his fall from grace. He’s been capturing characters who owe him money, altering them using a monstrous machine, and shipping them to produce terrible bootlegs overseas.
## Chapter 3: The Warner Sibling Strife
## Scene: Arguments and Truths
Tensions rise as the siblings blame each other for signing the infamous contract, each holding onto old resentments. Their argument peaks, yet is poignantly resolved through heartfelt apologies and understanding.
**Yakko Warner:**
"I’m sorry I dragged us into this mess."
**Dot Warner:**
"We’re in this together, remember? Siblings forever."
## Scene: The Final Battle
With renewed vigor and unity, the Warner siblings and Officer Harris launch an audacious assault on Elmo’s lair. The machine malfunctions, hilariously transforming Wally into a fly with a high-pitched voice. The chaos increases when Elmo is hit by the machine, morphing into a dreadful amalgamation of animated and live-action characters.
**Yakko Warner:**
"It’s showtime!"
**Dot Warner:**
"Bring on the mischief!"
The trio employs their classic comedic antics, outwitting and outmaneuvering Elmo. Amidst the delirious battle, Officer Harris secures the FBI’s intervention, led by none other than a reimagined Pinocchio, now an astute agent.
## Chapter 4: Resolution and Renewal
## Scene: Triumph and Sacrifice
The FBI arrests Elmo and his henchmen, but not before Elmo manages to shoot Dot and Wakko. Yakko, believing they've been gravely injured, is overcome with remorse.
**Yakko Warner:**
"I'm so sorry! I should have protected you!"
In a heartfelt twist, Dot and Wakko awaken, saved by the badges Yakko gave them earlier. The trio locates a cavernous warehouse where the abducted characters, including their best friend, are rescued and restored to their former selves.
## Epilogue: The New Animaniacs
With Elmo and his cronies behind bars, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot return to an explosion of adoration and admiration. The "Animaniacs" make a spectacular return to television, capturing the hearts of a new generation.
**Dot Warner:**
"We’re back, and zany as ever!"
The movie closes on a triumphant note, the Warners having reclaimed their place in the world of animation, their bond stronger than ever.

Prompt: Write a crossover film called "Animaniacs: Animational Return", which is similar to Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (the 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 signing a contract to 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 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 ComiCon business, while Yakko 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) 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, Wally the CGI (Polar Express-styled) anthropomorphic wolf, and Vlad the Gumby-styled claymation person). 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, Iron Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the best friend of Yakko, Dot, and Wakko) 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 were rescued and restored to their previous state like Indy, Rush, and Sandy). This film would have conflicts between characters, and the three protagonists would fight over having agreed to sign a contract 30 years ago, but that argument would finally be settled near the end of the film 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 with Wally's head and his voice becomes high-pitch and quite), making Elmo laugh with malice and humor, but Elmo is then shot by the machine and painfully transforms into a giant amalgamation of various animated and live action characters, and used his mutated form to his advantage against Yakko, Dot, and Wakko, but the three heroes, learning from what they did in their show, used their comic mischief to fight back 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 Yakko's, Dot's, and Wakko's best friend) and live action characters were in it and, thanks to the FBI and Yakko, Dot, and Wakko, 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.
