Dover Boys
Space Jam
Release date: 1996-11-10
Plot: Basketball legend Michael Jordan teams up with Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes to win a wild basketball game against alien villains called the Monstars. The aliens stole NBA players' talents, so it's up to Jordan and the Tunes to slam, jam, and bring the chaos. It's sports meets cartoons in the most 90s crossover ever.
Name and role: Back then, it was complicated to animate all the well-known and lesser-known characters to create a big cheering crowd, so we mostly see what look like GIFs in the background: two-dimensional characters moving in a loop. Only in certain scenes, when the focus shifts to the audience, do we see real animations and well-crafted characters. Among them: The Dover Boys
Trivia and other appearances: These characters, seen here only as cameos, have many other appearances, including: The Dover Boys at Pimento University or The Rivals of Roquefort Hall (1942) and Wakko's Wish (1999)

Wakko's Wish
Release date: 1999-12-21
Plot: Wakko, Yakko, and Dot set out to find a magical wishing star that can grant one wish. Their quest takes them across the snowy kingdom of Acme Falls, which has fallen under the greedy rule of King Salazar. Along the way, they're joined by the rest of the Animaniacs cast in a wild, heartfelt race for hope, laughter, and a better future.
Name and role: The Dover Boys must have made quite the impression in the episodes "Frontier Slappy" and "Magic Time" to earn more musical moments as Acme Falls villagers in the movie too.
