Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation

Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation is a 1992 American animated comedy film from Warner Bros. Animation and Amblin Entertainment, originally intended for theatrical exhibition by Warner Bros. Pictures. The movie features the main characters from the Fox Kids TV series *Tiny Toon Adventures* and is set between the show's second and third seasons. The story follows the Tiny Toons as they head off on summer break, with the main plots involving Babs and Buster Bunny traveling downriver, Plucky Duck and Hamton Pig visiting a famous amusement park, and Fifi La Fume searching for her favorite movie star. The film was executive produced by Steven Spielberg, with a script by Paul Dini, Nicholas Hollander, Tom Ruegger, and Sherri Stoner. Japanese animation studio Tokyo Movie Shinsha (now TMS Entertainment) handled the animation. Released on VHS and LaserDisc on Wednesday, March 11, 1992, *How I Spent My Vacation* became the first feature-length animated film to go direct-to-video in the United States. It later aired on TV as four separate episodes of *Tiny Toon Adventures*. The video was one of the top sellers in the country, spending 16 weeks on *Billboard*'s "Top Video Sales" chart by July 1992. Critics praised its humor and celebrity caricatures but criticized its segmented plot. The film parodies pop culture and summer vacations. **Plot** After finishing their term at Acme Looniversity, the Tiny Toons excitedly start their summer vacations. Babs and Buster Bunny begin a water pistol fight that grows into flooding all of Acme Acres. The two bunnies, along with Byron Basset, float downriver from the flooded town into the Southern United States, constantly trying to avoid being eaten by the river's creatures. Plucky Duck joins Hamton J. Pig and Hamton's family on a drive to the amusement park HappyWorldLand. The trip becomes painfully long and boring for Plucky, who grows annoyed with the family's habits and nearly gets killed by an escaped convict the Pigs mistake for a hitchhiker. Once at HappyWorldLand, the family takes a monorail tour around the park and then decides to go home, leaving Plucky disappointed. Meanwhile, Elmyra Duff, upset over losing her cat Furrball, visits a nature park with her family, where she frightens the wildlife with her overbearing affection.
