Characters
Wakko
The middle child of the Warner siblings and the main character.
- All-Loving Hero: Although all of the other townspeople want to make a wish for themselves on the wishing star, all Wakko really wants is for his sister to be well and for the town to be prosperous again.
- Bad Mood Retreat: The harp in the siblings' home, which Wakko plays after his hard-earned ha'penny is stolen for taxes.
- Big Heroic Run: Wakko's madcap dash to the wishing star after his sister "dies".
- Make a Wish: In desperation, Wakko attempts to ask the one and only wishing star to help his sister. And it's Crazy Enough to Work!
- Pep-Talk Song: "Never Give Up Hope", although Wakko doesn't sing the entire song, is a number in which Wakko encourages the weary, hopeless townspeople of Acme Falls.
- The Pollyanna: Lives as an orphan with his two siblings in an impoverished town, and yet has an undying sense of optimism.
- The Promise: Wakko promises his ailing sister, Dot, that he'll spend his ha'penny on her operation.
- The Quiet One: Despite being the protagonist of the movie, Wakko has less lines than his brother, Yakko.
- Really Royalty Reveal: At the end of the movie, Wakko, along with his two siblings, are revealed to be the rightful rulers of Warnerstock.
Pip
A monotone but kindly angel who who helps guide Wakko to the Wishing Star.
- Back for the Finale: He appears at the beginning to guide Wakko, then vanishes for the rest of the film. When Wakko finally reaches the star, Pip appears one more time to congratulate Wakko and tell him the Wishing Star is ready to grant his wish.
- Mr. Exposition: Is the one who let's Wakko know he caught the attention of a Wishing Star and that he needs to touch it to get his wish.
King Salazar the Pushy
The greedy and vain ruler of the kingdom of Ticktonia who has forcibly taken over the kingdom of Warnerstock.
- The Dreaded: Every other character in the film is terrified of him. Given he is a devious tyrant who happily kills anyone who gets in this way, it is easy to see why.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: When he blows up Dot, Salazar tries to make it seem like he is aggrieved like everyone else... This is only a ploy to keep his guards on his side though, since the moment Wakko gets close to the star, Salazar immediately tries to kill him next.
- Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: While he isn't without some humorous moments, King Salazar is a cruel megalomaniac who is a sincere threat and is noticeably one of the few villains the Warner siblings aren't able to overcome without outside help.
- Villainous Breakdown: Salazar steadily loses more and more of his cool as the story goes on, completely going bonkers at the climax when Wakko is almost at the Wishing Star.
- Would Hurt a Child: The wicked king shows no hesitation in torturing and trying to kill the Warners in his bid for the star.
