The story
Term-time ends at Acme Looniversity and the Tiny Toon characters look forward to a summer filled with fun. Buster and Babs Bunny turn a water fight into a white-water rafting trip through the dangerous Deep South; Plucky Duck and Hamton Pig share the most impossibly awful car journey imaginable on the way to HappyWorldLand; Fifi's blind date becomes a "skunknophobic" nightmare; and a safari park is turned upside-down by Elmyra's search for "cute little kitties to hug and squeeze".
Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation recap
School ends at Acme Looniversity, and the film follows several of the students through their summer break. Buster and Babs Bunny's water pistol fight escalates until it floods Acme Acres, and the two float down a river into the American South with Byron Basset, a sleepy dog, dodging hungry locals and ending up as the main course at a dinner theatre on a showboat. Plucky Duck gets a lift with Hamton J. Pig's family on a long road trip to the theme park HappyWorldLand, and suffers through their habits and a hitchhiker the Pigs fail to recognise as an escaped convict. Elmyra visits a wildlife park and terrifies the animals with her affection. Fifi La Fume chases the teen movie star skunk Johnny Pew, and Shirley the Loon and Fowlmouth go to the cinema. It was released direct to video in 1992, one of the first feature-length animated films made for that market in the US.
Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation ending explained
Buster and Babs escape the showboat and, when the escaped convict catches up with them, flee in a mine cart while he falls off a cliff. They then drop through a "plot hole" into Wackyland and come out back home in Acme Acres. Plucky finally reaches HappyWorldLand, but the Pigs take one monorail ride and decide to go home, to his despair. Fox later aired the film as four episodes of the series.
