Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation (1992)

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

As a guy who grew up in the 1990s, I can say that this was the time when cartoons had a lot of freedom behind them. Tiny Toon Adventures, an animated TV series produced by filmmaker Steven Spielberg, was one of those shows. It's basically a modern day take on the Looney Tunes featuring characters that are supposed to be their successors. It was quite the success, running for three seasons within a time span of five years, and its spiritual follow-up Animaniacs, also produced by Spielberg, would follow in its footsteps. So in 1992, a direct-to-video feature film was made, and it's just as funny as the show is.The movie is a series of side-stories mixed into one feature film starring the main cast of the television show. In one story, Buster and Babs Bunny (no relation) get into a water gun fight that turns into a white water rafting trip. Then there's the story of Plucky Duck and Hampton Pig traveling to an amusement park on the road trip from Hell (in the spirit of National Lampoon's Vacation, the original, not the terrible remake they made last year). There's also Fifi Le Fume's quest to get an autograph from a skunk movie star, why you should never go see a movie with Fowlmouth...ever, and finally, Elmyra finding another pet to hug and squeeze to the point where it would be considered torture. Oh, and did I mention that some of our main characters come across a murdering psychopath with a chainsaw?Originally, the film was going to be released in movie theatres, but in a last minute decision, Warner Brothers decided to make it a home video release, which is a shame, really. The show was at its peak when it was released, because it appealed to both kids and especially adults who get the more mature references and crude humor riddled within. Plus, having the label "direct-to-video" usually has a bad connotation attached to it, because most movies that were released directly to home media usually suck. Thankfully, this is one of those that doesn't suck. In fact, this is probably one of the best DTV films ever put out, period. The entire film is hilarious from beginning to end, with great, fast- paced animation and great writing. Perhaps the most memorable moments, for me, included the entire story arc of the aforementioned Hellish road trip with Plucky and Hampton, and Buster and Babs encountering a family of back-country possums who want them for dinner, a la John Boorman's 1972 thriller Deliverance.For a while, the film did not see a re-release on DVD when VHS bit the dust, but as of 2012, Warner Brothers did re-release the film on DVD, and though the picture quality is nowhere near up to HD standards, you can still watch it just fine. If you can deal with that, I highly recommend giving this movie a watch, and if you can manage to get every single pop culture reference this thing throws at you, then either you'll fit right at home or someone should be concerned.

In 1990 during the popularity run of Tiny Toon Adventures, The creators including Steven Spielberg, Katherine Kennedy and Frank Marshall were thinking on filming their own full-length movie so they made it enough for summer theatrical release in July of 1991 unforturnally, Warner Bros. quickly pull that project off the premises and decided to wait until May of 1992 when they finally released this movie stricly direct-to-video. Later in 1993, they spun off as separate episodes with some of the scenes were cut from the movie. Its about how the Tiny Toons were still in school as their last day waiting for the clock to strike three as school will be over enough for a summer vacation, Plucky and Hampton along with his family were going on a long car trip to Happy Go Land while Buster and Babs were in a water gun fight until in went overboard as they took a mainstream along with Byron to a river with many creatures on the other side including a rat playing his banjo, the alligators and a Cruse full with people like them. Meanwhile, Shirley and Foulmouth went together to go see a movie called "Skunkaphobia" where he was rudely talking through the movie, Elmyra is trying to find a pet at a trip to the Zoo, and Fifi was trying to find her favorite fan name Johnny Pew. Of course even though one of the toons were focus on their trip, other of the toons were spending time including Dizzy Devil as his fur sheds. This movie has a full of parodies and lots of memorable quotes that can fit into 80 mintutes of pure fun! It's the kind of movie where you can see a lot of adventures on how they spent their vacation. If you love the show and you are a fan of it than this movie is definely for you. From Warner Bros. Pictures in association with Amblin Entertainment. Not Rated, 80 minutes, Dolby Stereo. Joe's Rating: 3 1/2.

You don't have to be a fan of the cartoon show to enjoy this film. I watched it for the first time when I was nine, having been a fan of the T.V show, and my parents laughed just as hard as I did. It is done in the classic style of Bugs Bunny cartoons from yesterday, and considering todays vulgar cartoons, I would think anybody would appreciate a cartoon movie that relies more on "wackiness" then on vulgarity, to get a few laughs.
