[edit] Plot

Frustrated by being "overlooked", film director C. C. Deville steals the "Edgars" (statuettes that are a parody of the Oscars); he threatens to melt them all unless studio chairman Thaddeus Plotz gives him a lucrative contract. While carrying out his plot, Deville accidentally crashes his getaway blimp into the Warner Bros. water tower. This scatters 44 of the 45 stolen Edgars across the studio lot and releases Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, who agree to search for the missing awards.

[edit] Trivia

The theme music of the game (which can be listened to on the website) is a re-writing of the original Animaniacs theme, in the way Richard Stone would rewrite famous Hollywood movie themes as a parody during his time with Animaniacs.[1] [2]
