Marvin Hamlisch: What He Did For Love

When Marvin Hamlisch passed away in August 2012 the worlds of music, theatre and cinema lost a talent the likes of which we may never see again. Seemingly destined for greatness, Hamlisch was accepted into New York’s Juilliard School as a 6-year-old musical prodigy and rapidly developed into a phenomenon. With instantly classic hits ‘The Way We Were’ and ‘Nobody Does It Better’ and scores for Hollywood films such as The Swimmer, The Sting and Sophie’s Choice and the Broadway juggernaut A Chorus Line; Hamlisch became the go-to composer for film and Broadway producers and a prominent presence on the international Concert Hall circuit. His streak was staggering, vast, unprecedented and glorious, by the age of 31 Hamlisch had won 4 Grammys, an Emmy, 3 Oscars, a Tony and a Pulitzer prize: success that burned so bright, it proved impossible to match.

Wakko's Wish When wishing on a falling star it is best to wish for the star to not crash into your house.Luckily, for the orphan in this animated holiday special, his lucky star landed in the mountains.Informed by a fairy that the first to touch the fallen star receives a wish, Wakko (Jess Harnell) informs his brother Yakko (Rob Paulsen) and ailing sister Dot (Tress MacNeille), who then blab to Acme Falls about it.Needles to say, the race for the wishing star is on as the Warner siblings, the townsfolk and the King's (Paxton Whitehead) tax collector (Frank Welker) vie for their wish.A cheeky jab at holiday gluttony courtesy of Steven Spielberg's Animaniacs, Wakko's Wish seamlessly applies the series' offbeat brand of lovable lunacy, shameless lampooning and catchy musical numbers to the beloved holiday season.Regardless, whomever touches the star first will wish their body didn't just combust.

I used to love Animaniacs, but recently I have realized what an utter piece of revolting, worthless, contrived trash this show really is. With gags repeating over and over again, and purely awful musical numbers, you'll wonder why anyone like this stupid, overrated show. Needless to say, the movie is more of the same, with those stupid gags and crappy songs that will make your ears bleed. The plot? Don't get me started. The gang is in some town ruled by an evil king/tyrant, who's constantly taxing the poor citizens of said town. It eventually turns into some quest to look for a magic meteor or something like that. Let's just say if you're looking for something original, you'd better turn off the television right now. Man, what a waste of great talent, like Tress MacNeille, Rob Paulsen, and Maurice LaMarche, and of course, Frank Welker.BOTTOM LINE: Fans of this stupid series will probably like it, but for everyone else, avoid.

A must for animation fans, the new Animaniacs movie offers music, humor, and wit for viewers of all ages. Adults and teens will enjoy the humor, and the kids will eat up the slapstick. Don't pass up this wonderful conclusion to the Animaniacs saga - it's too much fun to miss!

Superficially similar to the Animaniacs TV series, but not nearly as funny, creative or insightful. The music (normally a highlight of the Animaniacs) is contrived and slipshod. Young children might find this entertaining, but I was hoping for much more.
