Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation

Based off the 90's series "Tiny Toon Adventures" (a series bizarrely missing from Amazon Instant Video, come on WB and Amazon! ) - "How I Spent my Vacation" was one of the earliest "direct to video" features of it's day. However don't let it's non-theatrical release fool you - Vacation is an amazing tour de force of the Tiny Toon's writers taking their 90 minute runtime and going coocoo-coocoo! (as the Wackyland motto goes)The movie follows the Tiny Toons gang as they get ready for the clock to strike 3, and summer to begin. Hampton's going on a family trip to "Wackyworld Land" (with theme park and road trip jokes all the way!) and Plucky invites himself along for the family trip, Fifi and Sheyrl decide to enjoy the Beach, Elmyra invades the local safari, and Buster Bunny ends up taking a gag too far that sends him and Babs on a sprawling adventure of a lifetime. All with gags and sass a-plenty, with even a little heart thrown in for good measure. It's also something of a musical, with a huge number of slightly tongue in cheek musical numbers (including a rather fun banjo and verbal accoustic version of the series theme)This being 90's Warner Bros animation, there's plenty here for kids, with tons of reference gags for parents or adults to enjoy. Sometimes the number of storylines going on can be a bit confusing or daunting, but none of the storylines really outstay their welcome or seem dull. This being a film made on a budget, the animation is on par with the TV series (but using some of the better studios that worked on the shows) - this film also hasn't seen any remastering. A shame because it deserves better care, the quality of the video is fine, but don't go expecting this to be HD in any real shape or form.In short, one of the few films based on an animated series that actually is really good. Your kids will love it, and you might just find you'll like it too!
