Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation

Just received my copy of Tiny Toons How I Spent My Summer Vacation. Very very pleased with it. I have read several reviews online about this product and the one common complain I continued to read was regarding the quality of the film. This film is NOT claiming to be remastered. So, no, it is not blu ray quality, but that was not what I was expecting. It is dvd quality and I have been watching it on a 65" LG TV with a PS4 and I have no complaints. While reading some of the reviews I questioned wether or not I should have ordered it, and boy am I glad that I did!! My kids are LOVING it and so are my husband and I. Brings you back to the early 90s. If you love this cartoon as much as I do then by all means do not let the reviews of quality stop you from purchasing. I will repurchase this when I do see that it has been digitally remastered if that ever happens (fingers crossed) but until then, we are working on wearing our copy out!

Tiny Toon Adventures has been my favorite as long I remember. This film had all of the comedy from the cartoons, everyone dealing with annoying antics during road trips, serial killers, water gun fights, theme parks, self centered actors, obnoxious viewers at a theater, and predatory southern residents. I will give the short summary of this film. It’s summer, the students went out for summer vacation. Buster Bunny and Babs Bunny (no relation) had an intense water gun fight that went out of hand which floods the town and they were drifted to the south along with Byron Bassett while they dodge the hungry residents. Plucky learnt that Hampton is going to his favorite theme park and he wants to go, but this road trip will prove to be his worst nightmare filled with Hampton’s annoying family antics and a hitchhiker who is an serial killer with a crave for pork. Elmyra Duff loses her cat and her family took her to an safari park which she starts to mistreat and frightened the animals which is a no no in the safari. Fifi La Fume is obsessed getting an autograph from her favorite skunk actor, but she learns how horrible and self centered he is. Fowlmouth takes Shirley the Loon to a movie theater which had an deafening thud sound effect which pokes at George Lucas’ THX, but he keeps annoying the viewers and spoiling the details of the movie which the viewers had enough and they kicked him out of the theater. Buy this if you want to complete your Tiny Toon series. I gave this cartoon five stars.

Nostalgia for my son when we visited him and lots of fun for his kids, too. It was great to re-visits all of the Tiny Toon characters and a totally appropriate movie for the night before the first day of a new school year.

Pretty good. I'm still trying to find a way to get season 1 and 3

This Movie is so much FUN! This was a favorite among my children when they were little. My youngest son, who is now an adult, was coming to visit me in Florida for 10 days. I ordered this as a surprise for his visit. And one night, after he arrived, I had it cued up in the VHS player, I made a big bowl of fresh popcorn made the old fashioned way with butter & sea salt. And got him settled in the recliner ... and relaxed myself on the couch ... and then I hit PLAY on the VCR ... and within about the first 20 seconds ... he exclaimed "OH WOW DAD ... YOU GOT MY FAVORITE MOVIE!" ... we had such a great "Father & Son" evening with this great classic. It was so fun to see it again. Thank you to the bookseller who got it to me in just 3 days and it was in excellent brand new condition. What a great classic ... and so full of fun joyful moments.

Since this is my first review of anything relating to Tiny Toon Adventures, I figured I should give you my stance on the show in general. Back in the 90's, this was one of my absolute favorite cartoons out there, and like any Tiny Toons fan back in the day, this movie was a favorite of mine. Before I start reviewing the movie, I should cover the fact that Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation is an anomaly in both movies based off TV shows and of direct-to-video movies. Movies based off TV shows tend to be inferior to their source material and direct-to-video movies generally aren't any good. However, How I Spent My Vacation is both superior to the TV show source material (which is decent, if a bit aged) and is a direct-to-video movie that's actually good. Now on to the review. STORY All the toons at Acme Looniversity are really happy when school lets out for the summer. Buster and Babs Bunny (Charlie Adler and Tress MacNeille, respectively) get into a giant squirt gun fight that results in them floating down a river, embarking on creepy adventures in the rural parts of the country. Plucky Duck goes with Hamton Pig (Joe Alaskey and Don Messick, respectively) and his family on a road trip to Happy World Land, and Plucky soon learns that riding with his family is one of the worst decisions he's ever made. Fifi La Fume (Kath Soucie) yearns to see her favorite movie star, Johnny Pew (Rob Paulsen), and does almost anything to see him and eventually to make him happy. Elmyra Duff (Cree Summer) goes to the zoo in search of a new "kitty witty" (as Elmyra would say), and Fowlmouth (Rob Paulsen) bugs Shirley the Loon (Gail Matthius) to go on a date with her to the movies. CHARACTERS The way the characters are portrayed in this movie perfectly matches their personalities on the show. The characters in this movie are done quite well, because aside from matching their original personas on the show, the characters themselves are interesting and enjoyable to watch. Plucky was probably the most humorous and to an extent, the most sympathetic of the characters, as you know he really wants to have as most fun at Happy World Land as possible, and you can easily feel the pain he suffers by being with Hamton's family, who unintentionally keep him miserable through a bunch of antics. Elmyra is probably the most hated character in the roster of Tiny Toons characters, and I can sorta see why when watching the show, but thankfully in the movie, she's not on the screen as much, is less obnoxious, and is actually pretty funny at times. Since Fifi didn't get as much time on the show compared to other characters, it was nice to see the movie give her more attention (and the humorous gags she's in). Last but not least, Buster and Babs were a joy to watch on this movie, since their back-and-fourth antics kept me chuckling throughout. HUMOR One of the weaker links to the original Tiny Toons TV show was the fact that there were a good deal of jokes and gags that jabbed at early 90's pop culture, which usually didn't age well. Thankfully, these types of jokes aren't as prominent in this movie, though there are a few gags that do show their age (such as Roseanne falling on Fifi as she's singing, and of Babs falling into the river and bumping into a bunch of characters parodying The Little Mermaid). Like the classic Looney Tunes, most of the jokes and gags on this movie are more universal, and therefore, age much better. Some of my favorite jokes and gags are when Buster rescues Babs with a life saver, and she says "Who can think about candy at a time like this?," when Plucky gets drooled on by Hamton's Uncle Stinky and quickly gets disgusted when he sees where that "refreshing shower" came from, when Buster, Babs, and Bryon run into Eliot and ET in the moonlight, and when the psychotic hitchhiker loses his mind and tries to attack Plucky when Hamton's family drop him off. APPEARANCE The animation and artwork for this is really good. Thankfully, when Warner Bros. had this movie made, they got Tokyo Movie Shinsa (one of the outsourced animation studios that made TTA episodes) to animate this movie, since that studio's quality of animation and artwork was the best of the studios ordered to make TTA animations. It's also interesting to note that Tokyo Movie Shinsa was the same studio that animated Akira. The art styles and color pallet perfectly match the TV show, and create a fun atmosphere that's perfect for this type of movie. SOUNDTRACK The soundtrack for this movie fits the style of movie really well, though I do admit that the background music could be a little more memorable. THE DVD ITSELF Tiny Toons fans have waited for many, many years for this movie to come out on DVD, and Warner Bros. honestly could have made a better DVD release for this. I wasn't expecting much in the way of bonus features, but they could have at least touched up the picture quality a little and made a better-looking DVD menu, as the picture quality is a bit grainy and the menu looks like something a 15-year old whipped up on DVD-burning software on his laptop in a hurry. FINAL WORD Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation is certainly a gem in early 90's animated films, and if you're a Tiny Toons fan, you owe it to yourself to get a copy of this movie ASAP.

This was one of the movies I grow up with and makes for a great family night movie as well. When I ordered this movie, it showed up on time and was well packed. This movie is off the 90's tiny toon tv show and the story is based off the characters from the show. It would make a great gift for anyone that grow up watching this show or if anyone the love animation movies as well. I hope this helps anyone that is think on buying this movie.

I was so thrilled to find this relic of my childhood available on DVD. I remember I used to watch this 2-3 times a day almost everyday, when I was a kid. Through the years, I have remembered so much of it, and yet when I watched it again recently, I saw many things I had forgotten about (such as, "Sixty-seven bottles of non-alcoholic beverage on the wall, sixty-seven bottles of non-alcoholic beverage...") Oh, good times, good times. I have noticed that some have complained about the image quality of this, but I had no issues with it. It looks (and sounds) exactly the same as my VHS copy. Kids today would probably like it--they may not get all the jokes or references to early '90s popular figures, but there is still a lot to enjoy. This was one of my favorite videos while growing up, and it has been nice taking this trip back in time.

Great movie that i enjoyed as a kid and now my kids also get to enjoy it!

Alles in Ordnung.

Me encanta esta película y lo mejor, viene con el doblaje original en latino, si quieren reir un buen rato se las recomiendo mucho, pero pregunto, quien no conoce esta divertidisima pelicula, a comprarla, es una que debe estar en su colección |: )

Not seen in the UK for ages basically another tv series By Spielberg. Lots of. Fun and laughs no matter what age you are Personally my fave character is almira

Ich habe die dvd bestellt und kann sie leider auf keinem meiner Geräte abspielen, weil ein Regionalcode drauf ist, der offenbar erkennt, dass der Player in Deutschland verkauft wurde... steht auch hinten drauf: Not authorized for sale or rental outside the USA and Canada. Zudem ist da ein Stempel auf der Hülle. Disc made in Mexico. Steht natürlich nicht dabei, sonst hätte ich nicht bestellt. Meiner Meinung nach Betrug, aber ich hab es zu spät bemerkt! Echt teures Lehrgeld! Ich würde auch null Sterne geben, aber das macht Amazon ja nicht...
