Wakko's Wish/Tear Jerker

• Seeing the usually-zany Warner Brothers having to be mature and responsible for their sick sister is sobering enough, even if it is played for laughs at times. But the ultimate Tear Jerker of the movie is most definitely the final run for the star where Dot is hit by a cannonball, and the heartrending "No!" from her brothers. The entire town listens in complete silence as she has Yakko tell her the story "one last time." Yes, she gets better, but the image of Yakko cradling his dying sister and trying to keep his composure while telling the story, then breaking down in tears as she finally dies is burned into many a kid's brain.
  • Well, yeah. Apart from the apparent "death" itself, seeing Yakko cry will do that to people.
  • Hell, even some of SALAZAR'S MEN were crying over her "death!"
• "The story."

Dot: I like that story.
Yakko: Goodnight, sis.

• The nighttime scene in the Warners' broken shanty.

Wakko: If I only earned more.

• The notion that the King and Queen are the Warners' parents.
