# Animaniacs: Animational Return
### Preamble
The Warner Brothers' water tower stood tall against the afternoon sun, casting long shadows over the lot as a relic of a bygone era. It had been 30 years since Yakko, Wakko, and Dot signed away their destinies on a misguided promise of Hollywood stardom. The contract had led to their show's abrupt cancellation and the trio had taken vastly different paths since that fateful day.
### Opening Scene: The Beginning of the End
**Exterior: A Picture-Perfect Hollywood Studio – Flashbacks to the '90s**
The scene fades from a sparkling tinsel town to Yakko's desperate plea echoing in the background. "Wakko, Dot, don’t sign that contract!"
It's too late—their signatures dance across the paper, oblivious to Yakko’s call. A montage follows: the sci-fi movie project is dissolved, and the trio splits. Dot and Wakko opt for CGI surgery, transitioning from their traditional 2D looks into polished, pixel-perfect creations. They start a ComiCon business, basking in the love of fans at conventions, while Yakko, who resisted the CGI transformation, is left to fumble through the drudgery of an office job.
### Act One: 30 Years Later
**Interior: A Stark, Bland Office Cubicle**
Yakko (voiced by Rob Paulsen) now has an adult voice with a touch of world-weariness. He types away at his keyboard, surrounded by mementos from yesteryears, including an old picture of the three Warner siblings.
Cut to Dot and Wakko's glitzy booth at a ComiCon, where the grown-up Dot (voice by Tress MacNeille) and Wakko (voice by Jess Harnell) revel in their fan adoration.
### Act Two: The Mystery Unfolds
Yakko receives a distressed call from an old friend, Gogo Dodo, who vanishes mid-sentence. Yakko realizes he's not alone in this crisis and reconnects with Dot and Wakko. The trio, with CGI and hand-drawn animation blending spectacularly, embark on an investigation that leads them to discover numerous disappearances.
**Enter Officer Kate (played by a live-action actress),** a smart, no-nonsense police officer who joins forces with the Animaniacs to uncover the villain behind these schemes.
### Act Three: The Rise of the Villain
Enter Elmo (who is voiced by a gruff, manly actor, such as Sam Elliot). Elmo’s fall from grace mirrors the dark turn in his character; no longer the lovable red monster, he now operates from the shadows with a bitterness that grates his every move. His henchmen—Leonard the 2D-drawn lion (voiced by David Tennant), Wally the uncanny CGI anthropomorphic wolf (voiced by Chris Parnell), and Vlad the Gumby-styled claymation (voiced by Jack Black)—add dimension to his malevolent empire.
Elmo's crime business involves kidnapping characters who failed to cough up massive amounts of money. Using a diabolical invention, these kidnapped souls undergo horrific transformations, stripped of what made them iconic, and shipped overseas for bootleg productions.
### Act Four: Truth and Reconciliation
Tensions run high as the trio argues over the past—Yakko blames Dot and Wakko for signing the contract that led to their undoing. This conflict peaks but ultimately dissolves into heartfelt reconciliation.
Armed with comic mischief and sheer determination, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot infiltrate Elmo's fortress of doom.
### Final Battle: Chaos Ensues
In a whirlwind of slapstick, wit, and courage, they face off against Elmo and his henchmen. Wally is hilariously reduced to a tiny fly-like creature, while Elmo himself falls victim to his malfunctioning machine, becoming a monstrous hybrid of different characters, each mutation adding to his horrific and comical finale.
### Climax and Conclusion
The FBI, led by a commanding Pinocchio (from Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio 2022 film), swoops in just as Elmo shoots Dot and Wakko. With their lives seemingly in the balance, Yakko pours his heart out—and to his relief, Dot and Wakko’s badges save them.
In an emotionally charged finale, the Warner siblings rescue countless kidnapped characters, including Gogo Dodo, restoring them to their former glory.
### Epilogue: A New Beginning
The film closes on a celebratory note—Yakko, Wakko, and Dot's new Animaniacs show debuts to roaring success. Their water tower stands tall once more, this time against a vibrant sunset, signifying new beginnings.
### Post-Credits Scene
A playful jab at Hollywood ends the film, teasing potential sequels with the trio's signature, "Goodnight everybody!" as they shut the door of the Warner Bros. water tower.
**Animaniacs: Animational Return** is a rollicking blend of nostalgia, humor, and heart, delivering a potent commentary on the resilience and enduring appeal of animated icons in a modern world.

Prompt: Write a crossover film 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) 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 (now with an adult voice through 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, 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 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 ). 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 mischief they did in their show, used their comic mischief 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 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.
