Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action! is an action game for the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance. It was developed by Warthog and Ignition Entertainment. The game is based on the cartoon series Animaniacs. Since the TV series had ended seven years earlier, with the direct-to-video movie Wakko's Wish being the series finale, this game would also mark the last official appearance of the characters until the release of the 2020 revival.

Synopsis[]

The Animaniacs somehow caused great financial damages to the studio, much to the annoyance of the studio's president. But instead of firing them, the president assigns the Animaniacs to make three films where he'll use the revenue to fix the studio's financial problems.

Gameplay[]

The game takes place in an isometric world. Characters from the Animaniacs cartoon series occur in the game, but the story and the stages are completely new.

The director is present throughout each stage, and instructs the player what to do next in order to complete the movie. The basic gameplay consists of running through the stage, avoiding enemies, finding keys to unlock doors and figure out how to proceed by, for example, solving puzzles. At the end of most stages a boss can be found that has to be beaten.

The player can change character by finding a "stage door" and there play a game of polka dottie.

Players cannot die in the game, but have a limited amount of time to finish each stage. Time is symbolized by film rolls. If the player touches an enemy, the game will start over from the place where the player last spoke to the director.

Reception[]

The game received mostly negative reviews. Aggregator Metacritic gave Nintendo DS version a 39 out of a 100[1] while Game Boy Advance version got slightly higher, 43 out of 100.[2] GameRankings on the other hand, gave the Nintendo DS version 44.30%[3] and gave Game Boy Advance version a 46.22% rank.[4]
