History YMMV / WakkosWish

* NightmareFuel: Salazar is not without his comic moments, but he's otherwise a textbook example of VileVillainSaccharineShow: for every scene of him being funny, there's two of him being a genuine threat. [[spoiler: The WhamLine that strongly indicates he had the Warners' parents murdered so he could seize the throne, talking about how he should had taken care of their children when he had the chance and later shooting two cannonballs at them (supposedly killing Dot with the first) shows just how much of an relentless man he is and how he has no problem with murdering royal figures and children as long he benefits from it]].

** King Salazar seeming genuinely guilty about [[spoiler: presumably killing Dot,]] despite otherwise expressing glee at [[spoiler: attempting to kill the Warners.]] Did [[spoiler: Dot’s death act]] move Salazar to feel remorseful, did witnessing it prove to be to much for him, or was he trying to save face when his soldiers started to turn on him?

** It's a contested movie among the fanbase; some found it too saccharine and cloying (especially compared to the series's more anarchic sense of humor) but others didn't mind and thought it was a better finale than Episode 99 (which was mostly a standard episode as usual except for the musical tribute short).

* CriticalDissonance: Despite the mixed reception from critics, a lot of fans enjoyed the movie.

* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: Come on, did you ''really'' think that [[spoiler:Dot would die?]]

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:

* SignatureScene: [[spoiler: Dot's DisneyDeath.]]

** The movie's not so subtle depiction of the Time Warner buyout shows the kingdom of Warnerstock falling into disarray after Ticktockia takes control of it. In the years following the movie's release, Time Warner would fall into a similar situation after a string of bad business decisions[[note]]Wrestling/{{WCW}} losing the Monday night wars to Wrestling/{{WWE}} due to mismanagement, a brief merger with America Online that occurred just before the dot com bubble bursted, several theatrical animated flops, inner corporate competition amongst their divisions, etc. [[/note]]led them to shut down or sell off many of their subsidiaries before eventually being bought out themselves in 2018 by AT&T and will soon merge with Discovery Channel in 2022.

** [[spoiler:Dot's fake death and the fact that she only needed plastic surgery to add a beauty mark to her face]] is also contested. Funny or too [[DudeNotFunny dark for its own good]]?

* WhatAnIdiot: When the Warners are told about the wishing star that landed near the town\\
'''You'd Expect:''' They would leave town right away while people are asleep and anybody notices the star has fallen, and if noticed by someone also up early for whatever reason, and asked where they were going, just say ''We're leaving Acme Falls for a while, but when we get back, things are going to be better for everyone. Trust us."\\
'''Instead:''' Not only do they leave roughly around 8 A.M., the time when most people are awake and out, but they actually tell the '''entire town''' about the wishing star and what you have to do get the wish (touch it), and naturally, they all immediately start racing to try to get to the wishing star first.
** This is actually Lampshaded:
--> '''Dot:''' Maybe we should've kept this our little secret.
** The first point is slightly justified in that the star had fallen in the middle of nowhere; the Warners might have felt there wasn't a need to hurry, since a) they weren't in a race with anyone to find it and b) there wasn't much of a chance that someone might stumble on it.

** Brain's fourth wall break about ruling the world in the sequel is definitely this considering that Warner Bros cancelled plans for another movie and would also end the series as well afterwards. Softened by the return of Brain in the [[WesternAnimation/Animaniacs 2020 2020 revival series]].

** The evil kingdom that took over Warnerstock being called "Ticktockia" is even funnier with the advent of the popular TikTok app taking over social media in the late 2010s-early 2020s.

** Warner Bros were offered a chance to release Wakko's Wish in theaters, but they stuck with a straight to video release in order to avoid the movie from becoming a commercial flop; which it wound up being in the home video market.

* HilariousInHindsight: At the end of the movie, Dot's supposed illness is revealed to be [[spoiler: no more than plastic surgery to add a beauty mark to her face - or as she calls it, "a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic cutie mark]]".]]

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Creator/RobPaulsen, Creator/JessHarnell and Creator/TressMacNeille's performances in the emotional, dramatic, heartwarming, and tearjerking scenes show that they can do scenes like these if they need to.
