Storyline[edit | edit source]

The storyline of the film centers on the various Tiny Toon characters and what adventures they have during the summer after their term at the ACME Looniversity ends.

  • Buster and Babs Bunny have a water pistol fight, which leads to ACME Acres being flooded. The 2 bunnies float down the river and end up in the southern United States, with a few loose parodies of the movie Deliverance.
  • Plucky Duck tags along with Hamton J. Pig and his family as they drive to the amusement park Happy World Land. It is a very long and painful trip and ends in Plucky getting chased by an escaped, Jason-esque lunatic with a chainsaw and a hockey mask.
  • Fifi La Fume has her eye on movie star Johnny Pew, and manages to track him down at the hotel he's staying at. They end up going on a date— too bad it's not a dream date.
  • Fowlmouth drags Shirley the Loon to see Skunknophobia (presumably a play on the 1990 film Arachnophobia), a movie he's seen 100 times already - and one he won't shut up through.
  • Elmyra Duff has the time of her life at a nature park, as the animals run for their lives.
