From my VHS collection, recorded from TBS on 4/21/90.
Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue is a 1990 American animated television film starring many characters from several animated television series at the time of its release. Financed by McDonald’s, Ronald McDonald Children’s Charities, it was originally simulcast for a limited time on April 21, 1990, on all four major American television networks (by supporting their Saturday morning characters): ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox, and most independent stations, as well as various cable networks. McDonald’s released a VHS home video edition of the special distributed by Buena Vista Home Video, which opened with an introduction from President George H. W. Bush, First Lady Barbara Bush and their dog, Millie. It was produced by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation and Southern Star Productions, and was animated overseas by Wang Film Productions. The musical number “Wonderful Ways to Say No” was written by Academy Award-winning composer, Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman, who also wrote the songs for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin.
The plot chronicles the exploits of Michael, a teenage boy who is using marijuana as well as stealing and drinking alcohol, leaving his family worried. When his younger sister Corey’s piggy bank goes missing one morning, cartoon characters come to life from various items in her room and find it in Michael’s room along with his stash of drugs, so they give him an intervention in the form of a fantasy journey to teach him the adverse consequences of drug use.
The characters, from 10 different franchises, are (in order of appearance):
The Smurfs: Papa Smurf, Brainy Smurf, Hefty Smurf, and some other unidentified Smurfs (although Smurfette is seen on the poster and VHS cover, she doesn’t appear in the special; Harmony Smurf and Baby Smurf make picture cameos)

Voice cast
The various character owners licensed them freely due to the public service aspect of the special.
The special marked the first time the characters Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck were voiced by someone other than Mel Blanc, who had died shortly before the production, prompting Warner Bros. to enlist Jeff Bergman in his place.
