I know what you’re thinking. No, your eyes don’t deceive. Yes, you are gazing upon Buster and Babs Bunny, students of Acme Looniversity. Yeah, Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Summer Vacation DID go straight to VHS in 1992. Correct, I picked this movie as Numero Uno because it was my favorite in kindergarten.

All you children of the late 80s/early 90s know why this is tops. You know that you sang all these songs along with the tape while gripping your stuffed Babs Bunny dolls (with one melted ear…thanks to a mean big brother). You know you didn’t get any of the funny allusions to Psycho, Friday the 13th, Arachnophobia, and Deliverance that Executive Producer Steven Spielberg snuck into the multiple plots. You just thought it was funny and catchy, and you were forever hooked.

Long story short, the movie starts out with all the students counting down the minutes to summer vacation! The clock just doesn’t seem to want to strike 3 o’clock. When it finally does, the students part ways in order to partake in their plans!

Babs and Buster cause a flood which washes them to the backwoods Southern states. I’ll never forget their weird banjo showdown with a family of opossums. 

Hampton J. Pig invites his BFF, Plucky Duck, to join him on his family’s trip to Happy World Land. This sounds great…except Hampton’s family is one of those that takes an eternity to arrive at their road trip destination. Plucky goes insane.

Elmyra, the animal lover that always goes overboard, takes a safari. All species try to escape her death squeeze.

Fifi Le Fume scores a date with a hot skunk actor! Too bad he’s a total dummy. On a similar note, Shirley the Loon and Fowlmouth go on a horror movie date, and Shirley nearly kills him for spoiling the whole plot — kind of like what I’m doing now.

Tell me this doesn’t intrigue you. Tell me you don’t want to go to Goodwill right now and dig it out of the movie bin. Tell me you’ve never even heard of this nonsense, and I will certainly cry. Because here it is, people, your Top Summer Movie.
