Plot Summary

The Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister) go on a quest to find a fallen wishing star to help Dot with her illness.

Goofs During the Snow Chase Scene, a cannonball can be seen being shot through the front end and exiting through the back corner of Dr. Scratchensniff's buggy. However, Baron von Plotz and Ralph's buggy are chasing them from behind shooting cannons at them, making it impossible for the cannonball to enter the Dr.'s buggy from the front end. See more »

Quotes Yakko Warner: [Dot has been 'mortally wounded' by Salazar's canon. Yakko is holding her in his arms with Wakko crouching near them] Dot... can you hear me?
Dot Warner: [weakly opens eyes, takes Yakko's hand and nuzzles against it. She looks up at him, smiling weakly] Tell me the story...
Yakko Warner: What?
Dot Warner: [weakly] The story... about mom and dad... tell me
[cough]
Dot Warner: one last time...
Yakko Warner: You should rest...
Dot Warner: [cough] Once upon a time, a brave knight married a beautiful princess... and they had two sons. But they wanted a daughter, to... so they planted a garden...
Yakko Warner: [softly] And out of the prettiest flower came...
Dot Warner: [smiles weakly] Me.
Yakko Warner: [Everyone is watching the scene with tears in their eyes] So then mom and dad took you home
[is cradling Dot closer in his arms]
Yakko Warner: and everynight at bedtime, they'd come in and ask "Who the cutest girl?" and you'd say...
Dot Warner: [weakly] I am.
Yakko Warner: And they'd ask "How did you get so cute?" and you'd say...
Dot Warner: [coughing weakly] I was born that way...
Yakko Warner: And they'd say..."tell us your name?"... and you'd say...
Dot Warner: [weakly] "Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca
[cough]
Dot Warner: Banana Fanna Bo Besca the Third" but you can call me
[cough]
Dot Warner: Dot...
Yakko Warner: [voice breaking slightly] and they'd ask..."Can we call you Dottie?"
[tears stream down his face]
Yakko Warner: and you'd say...
Dot Warner: [Very weakly] No... just Dot... call me... Dottie...
[points to Yakko]
Dot Warner: and you...
[hand falls to her side]
Dot Warner: die...
[Dot 'dies.' Yakko starts to cry and nuzzles against Dot's head]
