**Title: Animaniacs: Animational Return**
**Genre:** Live-Action/Animated Adventure Comedy
---
**Opening Scene: The Fall from Fame**
The Warner Brothers lot, thirty years ago, bustles with the energy of the ever-popular "Animaniacs" show. Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner are at the peak of their success, adored by fans worldwide. However, the peace is disrupted when a slick-talking Hollywood agent presents Dot and Wakko with a contract for a groundbreaking sci-fi movie. Yakko warns against it, but the shiny allure blinds his younger siblings. They sign, sealing their fate. The film is never made, leading to the swift cancellation of their beloved show.
Cut to the present day. The bustling energy of Comic-Con is juxtaposed with the quiet, methodical mundanity of an office. Dot and Wakko, now CGI-animated and matured in both voice and demeanor, thrive in the fandom-centric world of Comic-Con, signing autographs and reliving their glory days. Yakko, however, battles the daily drudge of a corporate job, the spark of mischief in his eyes dimmed with time.
**Act 1: The Investigation Begins**
Yakko's life takes a surprising turn when he catches a news report on the mysterious disappearances of several animated and live-action characters. Among the missing is their quirky best friend, Gogo Dodo. Desperate and determined, he reaches out to Dot and Wakko, and the trio reunites for the first time in decades. Joined by the dedicated and sharp police officer, Detective Matthews, they dive into the investigation, determined to uncover the truth behind these strange disappearances.
**Act 2: Elmo's Machinations**
Their search leads them to a seedy underground world, ruled by an embittered, gruff-voiced Elmo. Once the beloved character from Sesame Street, Elmo's fall from grace led him to run a dark crime business. Alongside his three henchmen—Leonard the 2D-drawn lion (voiced by David Tennant), Wally the CGI wolf (voiced by Chris Parnell), and Vlad the Gumby-styled claymation character (voiced by Jack Black)—Elmo kidnaps characters who fail to meet his financial demands. Using a sinister machine, he alters their appearances and forces them to produce low-quality bootlegs.
The trio infiltrates Elmo’s lair, witnessing the horrors inflicted on characters like Sandy from SpongeBob, Pinocchio, Rico from Madagascar, Marvin the Martian, Rush from Megaman, Indy the Indoraptor, and Iron Man. Tensions rise among the siblings, as they argue over the fateful contract signed thirty years ago, but their bond inevitably draws them back together.
**Act 3: The Final Confrontation**
The climax unfolds in Elmo’s lair. As the Warner siblings and Detective Matthews confront Elmo, the machine malfunctions. A misfired shot reduces Wally to a tiny fly with his original wolf head, much to Elmo’s amusement. However, another shot backfires on Elmo, transforming him into a monstrous amalgamation of various characters: Snowball's head, Zurg's hand cannon, Indominus's clawed arm, Hulk's right leg, and Daffy Duck's left leg.
Despite their age and more serious approach, the Warner siblings tap into their old tricks and comedic mischief to battle Elmo. Utilizing their combined wits and newfound maturity, they outmaneuver the grotesque villain and destroy the machine. As Elmo is finally subdued, Pinocchio (from Guillermo del Toro's adaptation) leads the FBI in, arresting Elmo and his henchmen.
**Act 4: Resolution and Reunion**
However, in a last-ditch effort, Elmo fires one final shot, hitting Dot and Wakko. Yakko races to his siblings, fearing the worst. In a poignant moment, he apologizes for his past behavior, but Dot and Wakko regain consciousness, revealing that the badges Yakko had given them saved their lives.
With Elmo and his crew apprehended, the trio discovers a warehouse filled with kidnapped characters, including Gogo Dodo. Thanks to the FBI and the Warner siblings, everyone is rescued.
**Epilogue: A Triumphant Return**
The film closes with a heartwarming montage of the Warner siblings rebooting "Animaniacs." This new iteration is an instant success, riding on their combined experience and renewed love for their craft. The closing shot shows Yakko, Wakko, and Dot standing in the Warner Brothers lot, once again at the peak of their fame, but this time wiser, closer, and forever united.
**End Credits:**
A lively, upbeat credits sequence rolls, featuring cameos from various rescued characters enjoying their newfound freedom and the return of the Animaniacs. Bursting with color and nostalgia, the final segment leaves audiences with a joyous heart and a smile, celebrating the timeless bond between the Warner siblings and their indomitable spirit.

Prompt: Write the crossover film (with live action, 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 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 but retaining Wally's wolf head, and his voice becomes high-pitch and quite even when shouting), 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, 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'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.
