Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation

Continuous cartoon/slapstick violence in the tradition of Warner Brothers Looney Tune adventures. Characters are shot out of a volcano, flattened by a variety of vehicles and machinery, struck by lightning, and chased and threatened by a madman and a woman with an axe. They also plunge over a waterfall, plummet to the ground from vast distances, are engulfed by a tidal wave, and are in danger of becoming the main entree in a tasty meal. Enemies include wild possums, alligators, and a lunatic killer with a chainsaw.

Several busty cartoon females. Girl characters are smitten by and flirt with some of the boys. It's all silly, exaggerated, and meant as humor.

One character is called "Uncle Stinky" and lives up to the name. An amusement park ride is called "Happy Go Pukey." A character is called "Fowlmouth," but his only epithet is "Dad Gum."

Movie PA announcement: "No smoking cigarettes in the theater," after which a lit cartoon cigarette gets up from his seat and leaves.

Parents need to know that there's exaggerated, comic cartoon action throughout Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation. Characters are flattened (often), chased by villains with treacherous weapons, struck by lightning, involved in head-on collisions, overpowered by a tidal wave, and put through many other absurd physical catastrophes. Though there are no injuries that aren't immediately overcome, the movie isn't recommended for kids who don't yet understand the difference between real and fictional violence. A bit of flirtatiousness and some buxom females add some mild sexuality to the story, and there's some bodily function humor (belching, barfing) in several scenes. This film was released direct-to-video when it was made in 1992 and now is available on DVD.
