Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Summer Vacation Review

Hey guys, this is Rob Paulson and you're listening

to the Geekcast Radio Network. Waiting for the

clock to strike three When it's three o 'clock

we'll be free Then it's Adios, Loonaverse! I

will get a kiss Tunecast this is episode 285.

I'm of course TFJR Mike We are continuing on

with the tune cast train and this is the middle

of summer folks. We are in July and Apparently

podcasts grow there Joining me is the superhero

lover Eduardo. Hello, sir. Hey, thanks for having

me back It's been a while since we've recorded

together Yeah, last time was either x -men season

5 or spider -man season five? Did Spider -Man

have five seasons? Yeah, I think, well, yeah,

I think last time we were, yeah, last time it

was either wrapping up Spider -Man or it was

talking to Eric and Julia. That, oh, I gotta,

I gotta reach out to them again, yeah, because

that got screwed up. Anyway, yes, Eduardo is

here, so he is returning and making her GCR debut

as his lovely wife, his princess. Patricia, hello,

how are you? I'm doing good, how are you? I'm

here. It is the middle of summer still, folks.

And I thought, oh, what better way to do a Tooncast

episode talking about some sort of cartoon is

Tiny Toon Adventures, how I spent my vacation.

And this was actually because of a post that

Patricia made on Facebook. And I was like, hey,

podcast time. Oh, man. It's all your fault. It's

one of my childhood movies that I just watched,

had to watch every summer. At least once. Yep.

Oh God, it is 30 years old as of this past March.

Is it really? Released March 11th, 1992. Okay,

I feel old. I feel really old. Tiny Toon Adventures,

How I Spent My Vacation. We almost went loony,

from counting days till Juney. Now this afternoony,

summertime is here. A three month vacation for

kids across the nation. Whatever your location,

it's the best time of the year. Now I tried to

do some research on this and I've kind of looked

into it I could have sworn 30 years ago when

I saw this it was how I spent my summer vacation

because It begins and ends with them at school

like It starts with them waiting for the clock

to tick down to the 12 at the, you know, 3 p

.m. And then once they finally get done with

their vacation, they go back like summer vacation

is over. We're back in school. Like literally,

this is three. This is a. How long is a stupid

thing? This is a 79 minute movie that is basically

a three month summer in 79 minutes and. Yeah,

I don't understand why it doesn't have the summer

whatever it is what it is. I know why Yep, I

know why they cut out the summer part because

it wouldn't fit on the side of the VHS box Well,

thankfully VHS is gone with the way of the dodo

so Because yeah, I don't even think was good

no go go wasn't in this was he I don't think

he was. He had a cameo. He had a cameo. That's

right. Yeah. It was like a brief cameo where

he came out of a clock and did the whole cuckoo

cuckoo. Yep. So what do you all remember before

you sat down to watch this again? I mean, how

often do you actually watch this, Patricia? At

least once a year. Yep. Really? Oh yeah. I know

that whole thing frontwards and backwards. I

know all the songs. It's even better when you're

drunk. Oh boy. What about you, Eduardo? Ever

since Trish and I got together, it's a yearly

tradition. I do remember having a video store.

close to my house growing up. This was one of

the ones that my little sister Victoria would

just rent constantly. It's one of those things

of, hey, it ended up being a fun thing. First,

I bonded with my little sister over this and

now I bond with my wife over it. It's become

a big tradition. As soon as I get a chance and

he can understand it, I will get my nephews,

my little sister's kids into it. So it'll just

become a family thing until like thousands of

years in the future where we'll have the holographic

version and my great -great -great -great -great

-great -great -great -great -great -great -grand

nephews or kids will be watching it. This all

started with my ancestor. I forgot how much they

packed into this 79 minute movie. And I say that

by like, I'm not making like the pacing of it

is fine. But like all of the characters, almost

all of the characters are here. They each have

their own adventures on summer vacation. But

like, yeah, I forgot how much was in this because

the main thing I remembered for this Right before

we started when i was watching this first time

i had seen it in. I wanna say at least fifteen

years because we've never we've never covered

this before we've covered tiny we've covered

the overall series way back in episode three

of of tune cast but we've never actually the

first time we're covering this on the show and

like yeah it's been about fifteen years or so

since i've seen this and i'm like the only thing

i remember is hampton and plucky. Go on the trip

to get to Happy whatever their version of where

the fun doesn't stop at only 80 bucks a pop Three

months of glorious non -constructive downtime

now if you ask real nice hammy I'll consider

letting you hang out with me gee that's nice

of you plucky But now what do we do first the

beach? Camping? Or shall we simply veg the whole

12 weeks away in front of the boob tube? We're

tiny. We're toony. We're all a little. But plucky,

I'm going out of town this summer. Huh? My folks

are taking me to Happy World Land. Happy World

Land? You're not the happiest place in the hemisphere,

go on all the rides till you barf fun for kids

of all ages. Happy world land! Uh, yeah. Gasp

and a rule! That's every duckling's dream! I

remember thinking back then, there's no way Disneyland

will ever cost $80. Yeah. And of course, nowadays,

we're like, I wish it cost $80. Yeah, really.

And they only got on the monorail. Even I would

have gone to whatever a Happy World Lands version

of Epcot was. I mean, come on. Oh. I know that

is one of the things that frustrated me from

the very first time I watched it. It was like,

are you kidding me? They only did $80 each, and

all they did was ride the monorail. That's like

one of my nightmares. I would have jumped off

that damn monorail into the park proper. I would

have just taken, like, just a running leap. What

the heck with that, man? Yeah, no. And it's like,

although did they even... It kind of makes me

wonder, did they actually pay at the gate for

the tickets and just ride the monorail, or is

the monorail just like that transportation system

and then they didn't even get to the gate? No,

they got to know cuz that's when they're singing

they're singing the 80 bucks a pop So they pay

and they got them the monorail and they get off

the monorail. So it's It's the two pair. It's

Hampton's parents and Hampton and plucky It's

the four of them because uncle stinky just sat

in the car apparently. No, he went He went. Oh,

he did go. Yeah. Okay. So, okay, so 80 bucks

a pop times five It's $400. I don't know what

that would be in today's inflation, but that's

$400 just to ride a monorail. You need to go

into the park, damn it. I know in 92, the price

to get into Disneyland was about $30. And now

it's $100 to get in the gate, $110. So figure

out what the inflation, if it's $80, then it's,

you know, today's market, that would probably

be about $200 a person. Yeah, probably. Let's

just say it's close to $1 ,500, $2 ,000 for five

people to go to happy world land. Oh god, money

isn't everything, folks. It really isn't. But

yikes. Yeah, that always frustrated the heck

out of me. I mean, I love the idea of taking

this big cross country road trip, but if I got

to Disney World and had that kind of an experience,

oh yeah, no, I think I would just leave. I would

just be like, sorry guys, I'll find my way home.

Yeah, and Plucky is so incensed at the end because

he's like... Wait, that's it? We didn't do anything!

And then what we did do, obviously, was the cross

-country trip with all the slides. How many seasons

did they go through, watching all those days?

Literally, you see the time pass outside, and

I'm like, okay, there's summer, winter, fall,

spring. It took them a year to watch all those

slides for like... However long that trip like

oh wow, that's Poor plucky I've never really

I've never felt more sorry for plucky duck than

I do in this movie. Tell me about it. I just

Tell me about it. I mean, I think I think the

closest that I've ever gotten to an experience

like that is My family did a Disney trip a trip

to Disney in 2011 around New Year's Because my

mom's birthday is December 31st Let's see going

to Disney World the Magic Kingdom We must have

written Like I think it was like three attractions

total because there were huge crowds long lines

and You know, we had to do everything is this

big group That was the first time in the history

of all my trips to a Disney park that I have

never done the Haunted Mansion. And that is my

favorite ride. That is on my must list whenever

I go to a Disney park. And so not being able

to do it, it's like, ugh, it's still just, ugh,

ugh. So, so yeah, everybody pretty much knows

the plot of this, but in case you don't remember

what it is, like we've already said, Plucky and

Hampton, along with Hampton's parents and uncle

Stinky, go to happy world land. Buster and Babs

have a squirt gut, or I should say what, because

nobody wants to say squirt on a podcast, water

pistol fight, and they flood Acme Acres, which

then sends them down to the Bayou. Not the Bayou

Bayou, but the Bayou by me. So they end up at

dinner theater, which is quite literally dinner

theater. Meanwhile, Elmira and Furball, apparently

she lost Furball. She goes to a nature park with

her family and she terrorizes all the wild animals

with her adoration. Fifi, I love this. Fifi Lafoum

is lovestruck by teen heartthrob Johnny Pugh.

Also included in this is Foul Mouth and Shirley

the Loon. They all go see skunkophobia or skunkophobia.

And Fifi and Johnny, they basically, she gets

enraged and everything else, and Foul Mouth disrupts

throughout the movie, and I love Foul Mouth.

I... That's Rob Paulson, right? Yep. I love Foul

Mouth. I just... Dadgummit, Shirley, I just wanted

a beer. Dadgum boyfriend, Dadgummit. Oh, I love

that. The Dadgum State Troopa. Hey, look, it's

the State Troopa, Dadgum State Troopa. Of course,

that also. Well, the movie theater part, of course,

has our favorite joke, right, Trish? What joke

is that? What sound systems? Oh, yes. The audience

is now deaf. The audience is now deaf. I want

to say there was a couple of times we went to

an actual movie theater and when they did the

sound system thing, we both looked at each other

and we were like, the audience is now deaf. Yep,

we have. I'm just thinking that I've never been

in a movie theater that has a person in there

that is foul -mouthed. Because I would have reacted

like everybody else did around him. Which, by

the way, I think one of my favorite jokes in

that sequence is just how totally, you know,

when there was at one point where like a crowd

shushes foulmouth and just randomly the Grim

Reaper is there. It's like, wow, okay. You go

to a movie theater and the Grim Reaper is just,

just chilling, you know, going to the movies.

It's like, okay, wow. All right. So, okay. This

is where we are. It's like, no explanation. He's

just there in the crowd. I really liked the movie,

how it jumps from one story to the other, you

know, just checking in on all the different characters

and what they're going through and, and then.

Yeah, they each have their own unique story going

on, and I just always loved all of it. There

wasn't any of them that it went to that I was

just like, oh, why are we watching this part?

I think the only thing that grossed me out then

and 30 years ago and now, and he's not really

in, I mean, he's in the movie, but he doesn't

really, his uncle's stinky. I get it, that's

supposed to be funny, but. That's just one thing

I could do without, and I'm not even gonna take

any points off for that, but the rest of it,

yeah, you're right. It flows so well from the

point of the flood, from the point of Plucky

getting to go with Hampton and his family. The

transitions in this are amazing, and how they

got back to school, because I was watching, I'm

like... Oh, that's how they did it. An actual

bottle. An actual bottle. How convenient. Yes,

how convenient. For me, the opening song and

the closing song are my favorites. Oh, yeah.

Yes. Definitely. Well, I also got to love the

happy world theme. Oh, yeah. And Buster and Babs.

Well, when Babs is getting... chased by the other

possums and busters like the dueling pianos with

the dueling banjos with the possum kid that looks

very much like the kid from Deliverance which

by the way that's probably that's one of those

things that I love about Tiny Tunes is that yeah

even watching it when it first came out you know

watching it like around the time it came out

with my little sister We had no freaking, like,

we did not know anything about deliverance. No.

Yeah. We had no clue. We did not know about that.

You know, we did not know about the joys of the

horror of having a pretty mouth. Yeah. But we're

just laughing there. We're just laughing and

we're, you know, we're dancing along to the,

to the dueling banjos. Yep. And then, and that's

the thing about that, about Tiny Tunes overall.

Yep. It's essentially doing what it's predecessor

you know you know what people are like oh they're

just the looney toons characters is kit no they're

not it's not just young looney toons it's not

like young young looney toons to me is baby looney

toons that's young looney toons this time to

ventures is not young looney toons. The looney

toons characters are there yes buster is kind

you know he even says. oh you know oh oh mentor

of my discontent and whatever you know so yes

bugs is his mentor but they're not related but

from the 1920s 30s 40s and 50s when all the looney

tunes were going on those looney tunes cartoons

they were not made like certain cartoons folks

not made for children these cartoon creators

mel blank well mel was the voice but Chuck Jones

and Frizz Freeling and especially Bob Clampett.

Bob Clampett's cartoons are the strangest out

of all of the Looney Tunes directors, but all

of these people were making cartoons to make

themselves laugh. Same thing with Tom Ruger and

the crew of Tiny Tunes. I mean, you look at this

series and like, I think it's the first, well,

yeah, most likely it's the first episode, but

like they... They break the fourth wall with,

you know, oh, this is a, this gag or like, like

you already mentioned, oh, this is a plot hole,

you know, kind of thing. And that's, they're

making it mainly for themselves. And yes, I was

90 and this was 92. So 30 years ago, I was between

10 and 12 years old. Yeah. I watched it. And

yeah, I got some of the 90s references then as

a kid, but some of the other references I didn't

get. And that's fine. I got them later as an

adult. Well, like Deliverance. Well, like Deliverance

and like all the talk show hosts in the hotel.

Yeah. Or even the, or even, you know, Roseanne

singing the, uh, the national anthem. Yeah. Yep.

I mean, I wonder how many kids nowadays will

see that scene and then just be like, okay, fat

lady. They get more of the fat lady sings joke

than they do what it actually is referring to.

But it still works. Yeah, it still works. And

it's one of those things where kids today have

their own things. You know insert whatever like

whatever current cartoon is out today. This was

for Even though we're now adults, but this was

for us and this was whatever, you know, especially

with I Remember watching this in 92 and was Roseanne

still on the air or was it not on the air? I

think it was still on the air. It was on till

96. Yeah. Okay, so yeah So when I saw that, I

was like, Hey, what, isn't she supposed to be,

you know, on it, on it night or whatever kind

of thing. Cause I think I saw this like during

the day on VHS or something back then. And yeah,

I don't know. This is just fun. This is summer

fun with these characters. They each have a very

interesting vacation trip and. You know it's

like what we all did back then we all were so

excited for summer as kids and we wanted to go

out and have adventures and then in the fall

we would all come back to school and tell every

you know the friends we didn't see during the

summer because some of your school friends you

never saw in the summer because like you know

like with Hampton and play you know they went

off to I'm just going to say Florida, but it

isn't Florida, but you know what I mean. Were

you going to say something Trish? Yeah. I remember

watching it and thought it was like, how cool

is it that Hampton comes home on the last day

of school and his parents are waiting for him

for them to leave right on their trip. I always

thought that would have been so cool to come

home from school on that last day and immediately

be going to Disneyland. on a trip. That would

be so cool. And then the fact that they just

let Hampton bring Plucky with them, like, oh,

you just bring your best friend too. And it's

like, oh, you didn't have to check with Plucky's

parents either. Plucky's just gone for the whole

summer and his parents don't even care. But it's

just a fun movie. I know you're not supposed

to take it too seriously, but I just thought

it was just a really fun movie. And I wanted

to experience it. I wanted to be in it, you know,

because I thought that it was so much fun. And,

well, yeah, and that's the thing looking back

at this 30 years later. Like I just mentioned

about, you know, that whole anticipation of the

final day of like, fourth fifth and sixth grade

in elementary school like you're ready to go

out and have your three month summer vacation

and then come back and then tell everybody about

it like the excitement and you're right you know

you come home and some parents I mean my mom

I don't remember if we ever did summer vacations

but I remember a couple of times when my mom

was like you know I'd get home for school okay

well we've got like mostly it was like Cause

we were from Massachusetts originally and we

lived up there for X number of years in my young

life and whatever. You know, okay. It's, it's

Patriots day. So we have a long weekend or okay.

It's Columbus day. We have a long weekend. Let's

go up to New Hampshire or let's go here. Let's

go there, whatever, you know, but with the summer

vacation thing, it's like, okay, we're flying

to Florida for like 14 days. I'm like, okay.

Cause that's what people did in the eighties

was anyone living up North ended up down South.

So, yeah, no, it's just fun. It's just, there

are little nit, like I said, Uncle Stinky, there

are little nitpicky things, but when I watched

this today, I was like, okay, I am like in a

time machine and I'm 12 years old, 30 years ago

watching this. And I'm just like, yeah, vacation

with my best friend. You know, whatever. And

same thing with Buster and Babs. I mean, Buster

and Babs, by the end of it, it's almost like,

because, you know, Buster and Babs Bunny, no

relation. It's almost like they went on their

own romantic trip. It's like they went down to

the Bayou to get married or something. Because

by the end of it, you know, he's on his bended

knee and she has like hearts swirling around

her face. I was just waiting, not that this would

work with Tiny Toons, but I was just waiting

for boys to men to show up. Oh, and to this day,

I can't go through a tunnel without holding my

breath. I can't go through a tunnel without reaching

over and honking the damn horn, no matter who's

driving. Even if it's a tiny tunnel, I still

hold my breath through it. We have one up here

near Tahoe. It's like literally like 10 feet

long and we still hold our breath through it.

Well, yeah, so far so far my my face hasn't turned

purple Oh my face has turned purple plenty of

times that's what filters are for I Think you

and I are talking about different purple instances

true. Yeah, so this voice cast I mean Legends

just led I had never, like, again, back then

as kids, we didn't know, we knew we liked the

voices, we didn't know who they were. Like, even

in, you know, the eighties, like, I didn't know

who, like, I knew that in Voltron, Night Rider,

and Transformers, at one point or another, you're

going to hear Peter Cullen, but I didn't know

that that was Peter Cullen as Carr, Optimus Prime,

and Koran from Voltron. But, you know, nowadays

with behind the voiceactors .com and with just

social media in general. We know all, we quote

unquote know all of these people. So Charlie

Adler, obviously Buster Bunny. He was also the

theater usher. Tress McNeil. Tress McNeil is

like voice goddess. She can do anything. I've

gotten to the point where I can recognize her

in anything that she does. It's like, oh, there

she is. Yep. It's like, wait, was that Tress?

Where'd she go? Like, you know, the only one

that I will say, just looking at this list, the

only one I do not recognize is Gail Mathis. She

did, she was Shirley the Loon and Sissy Boo.

I don't I've never like I knew Shirley the loon

obviously was a character on the show and I loved

her voice, but I never knew I just assumed it

was Tress or cats who say or you know, Candy

Milo, but it's Gail Mathis and I had never known

who she was and looking at her See recurring

characters Saturday Night Live post SNF. So Wikipedia

does not have a lot of Oh. She was... Go ahead.

I want to say that I was familiar with the name.

The name looked familiar, but yeah, she was like

an ex -SNL. That was like the early 80s SNL.

I think I recognized her name and I knew I saw...

I knew enough that I recognized her name, but

it's not something where you go, yes, it's...

her. I mean, no offense to Gail Mathis. I'm sure

she's a lovely lady. Oh, yeah. No, I mean, yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. And then obviously Kath Susie

as Fifi LaFoom and Little Sneezer and all that.

And then you get into, I mean, all of these people

are great people, but I mean, just names that

everyone, Don Messick, Joe Alasky, Joe Alasky,

man. The late Don Messick and Joe Alasky. Yeah,

both. Oh, wow. That's right. Both of them are.

Oh, yeah. Both are gone. Yeah, that's now depressing.

Now that I think about it, both plucky. Oh, yeah.

Oh, damn. Yeah, you're right. It's both plucky

and Hampton. Yeah. Right. And then obviously,

Frank Welker is go go for a ball. Little beeper.

Byron Bassett. It was forever before I realized

just how old Don Messick was. Because you see

Hampton, you think it's a little kid, you know?

You think of him as a little kid, and then you're

like, wait a minute, this guy was born in 1926?

He's older than my grandma. Yeah. Oh, older than

dirt, yeah. Yeah, Don was 71 when he died, and

Joe was 63. Ugh, crud. Joe died in 2016. Don

died in 97. Yeah. I just like, these are voices

that we hear in our head, like, and Joe would

eventually go on to play Daffy in Duck Dodgers.

And you have Bob Bergen as, as Porky in that.

And it's just like, holy crap. It was like, Duck

Dodgers was a Looney Tunes Renaissance without

Bugs Bunny. you know, kind of thing. Maurice

LaMarche, again, voice God, man of a thousand

voices. Again, Frank Welker, you know, from Paulson,

Chris Summer, Candy Milo, go ahead, Frank. Actually,

you know what? Well, Frank Welker is on my list

of people because like, you know, as celebrities,

as the celebrities of our childhood get older

and start to pass on, Welker is like on my list.

That if there starts to be like a a bunch of

celebrities passing away He's on my list of somebody

go to his house right now and check on him Yeah,

like if he fell down the stairs grant like get

him to the hospital right now. We are not losing

Frank. It's like no No, not today. Yeah, he is

76 years old. Okay doesn't He doesn't look at

he doesn't sound that he'd like He stills even

with him just talking in his normal voice. And

yes, I know his normal voice is Freddie Jones,

but You know, I mean Whatever he's doing to keep

his health up man. Like seriously he's he's amazing.

I keep doing it Exactly doing it Frank, please

do us all a favor I actually have a great little

story about recognizing voice actors as it applies

to Rob Paulson. This is actually a recent thing.

My wife, my beautiful, wonderful wife, she got

tickets for the three of us. the two of us plus

my brother -in -law, she actually got movie tickets

for the 35th anniversary screening of G .I. Joe

the movie in theaters. And we're watching the

movie and they actually, both of them were like,

wait, is that Rob Paulson? Like the first time

Snowdrop speaks. And they were like, oh, whoa,

it's Rob Paulson. So, you know, that great thing

of watching something and being like, oh, yeah,

there's Rob Paulson. Oh, yeah, there's Peter

Cullen. Oh, yeah, there's, and for me, it's also

Michael Bell, which he wasn't in this. Oh, absolutely.

He wasn't in this. No, he wasn't in this, but,

you know, he was in, yeah. What were you going

to say, Trish? Oh, no, I was just that. since

I got together with Eddie, I pay more attention

to the voice actors than I used to. All of a

sudden, I'm starting to recognize all these people

and I'm just like, oh, I know it's because of

you, Eddie. I mean, Rob is is amazing, especially

with what he like listening to his audiobook

is like, oh, man, I'm so glad it was a it was,

you know, a happy ending with his his throat

like and nobody knew in an age where everybody

knows everything about every single celebrity.

Nobody really knew, apparently or supposedly.

And you know what? That's fine. Like I don't

like. we're saying this off air about other things,

but I've never been a person that attaches to

the celebrity of like, again, Peter Cullen, voicing

Optimus Prime, voicing Carr in Knight Rider,

voicing Koran and other characters in Voltron,

doing whatever the man does. It's the content.

Yeah. It's the content that he does. His personal...

Do I find it absolutely heart -wrenching that

Rob Paulson went through throat cancer? Absolutely.

But just because I didn't know about it until

he finally told his story doesn't mean that I

didn't care about it. And Rob, like with Foul

Mouth and Johnny Pugh and Banjo Possum and all

the other characters he does in Tiny Toons, and

obviously he would go on to Animaniacs, it's

so weird for me to hear. I think he voices Air

Raid in Transformers. Yep. That's the only role.

I don't dislike it, but it's the only role where

I'm like, wait, like you said, that, that, that,

wait, that's Rob Paulson? Why is Rob Paulson's

voice coming out of a robot? What's going on

here? That's not, that's not right. Yeah. And

then, you know, you have Chris Summer and Candy

Milo, two of the, you know, you think about women

in voice acting, obviously most people will put

June Ferre at the top respectively, obviously,

because of all the stuff June did before she

passed. And then, you know, Tara Strong and Harley,

the first - Arlene Sorkin. Thank you. Arlene's,

I don't know why the hell am I, you know, that,

you know, her, and then, you know, Chris Summer,

Candy Milo, and there's a bunch of other ones

too, but like these two women, the fact that,

and again, this is what I love, like I love that

voice actors, like Rob Paulson, he can put on

a voice that isn't his voice. Like with Pinky

on Animaniacs, with Chris Summer, she can just

have Elmira be her voice kicked up to 11. And

then the opposite of that, Mary Melody is just

her regular normal speaking voice. I love that.

I absolutely love that. And of course, I mean,

going, speaking of Chris Summer and Rob Paulson,

I got to love, Rob Paulson voiced the, I believe

he voiced the announcer or whatever at the zoo,

the country zoo. and I just got to love him.

The voice probably wouldn't fly as much today

because he puts on a little bit of an accent,

but I still also have to love just the touch

in the script of him going, and let me repeat

so Warner Brothers doesn't get sued. And then

see all of these people are regulars on like

these are the Tiny Tunes voice actors throughout

this entire list. The two ultimate guest stars

they get are Jonathan Winters as Hampton's dad

and You're fucked, Mrs. Plains Trains and Automobiles,

Edie McClurg as Hampton's mom. Well, and they

also got Boss Hogg himself, Sorelle Brooks. He's

the Big Daddy Boo. Yep. Yep. Yeah. And by the

way, Jonathan Winters is also the voice of Superman.

Yep. No, that's Rob. That's right. That was Maurice,

according to this. I thought I read somewhere

it was Jonathan Winters. I don't know. According

to Wikipedia, it says it was Maurice. According

to IMDB, it was Jonathan Winters as Superman.

Various things can be wrong. Very cool. He's

apparently retired now. He's been retired since

2010, but the man... According to now, I don't

know what IMDB has him listed as, but according

to Wikipedia, August 29th, 1947, supposedly is

his birthday. For who? Arthur Burkhardt. Yeah.

And let's see. IMDB says January 1st, 1947. oh

god i don't even know okay now that's that's

anyway so tiny to go ahead ask him well yeah

yeah yeah absolutely what yep what other things

do we want to say about Vacation. Well, it's

the one time that we see the Roadrunner get run

over by the Coyote. Chuck Jones is rolling over

in his grave 30 years later. I just remember

the first time I watched it when the Roadrunner...

This might be blasphemous to some, but I've never

cared for the Roadrunner. Wiley Coyote cartoons.

I always just found the Roadrunner very annoying.

So when I saw him get run over by Coyote in a

van in this, I was like, yes, finally. I thought

it was funny. To me, it depends on who's do like

when like the Chuck Jones. Roadrunner stuff.

I like it's okay. It's funny to me. And it's

different than every other Looney Tune staple.

But yeah, you're I mean, most of the time, like,

I don't like you think of any of the rabbit duck

rabbit duck trilogy versus rabbit fire. Rabbit

seasoning and there's what's the third one anyway

but the trilogy of you know duck season rabbit

season or daffy with like robin hood daffy or

duck amok like there are no roadrunner cartoons

that i can go to like there's no like all of

those titles i just mentioned i know those by

heart i don't even have to look them up where's

roadrunner cartoons i'm like. I just watch them

and have fun watching them because... I have

nothing wrong with them, but it's just... They're

all interchangeable. It's the same stuff over

and over. And yeah, so... Although there's some

stuff, there is some... I mean, I do admit I

do have a fondness for the Roadrunner Wile E.

Coyote stuff. If only just for some of the...

I mean, I don't know. For me, it's like... I

laugh the same way I laugh at Home Alone at the

finale to Home Alone and watching, you know,

Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern just get beaten and

mutilated by all the, by all the traps. You know,

it's just, it's, it's that kind of appeal to

me. Yeah. And it's the thing of he's never going

to catch him. Like you take the Road Runner cartoons

and you take the Sam and Ralph cartoons. Yeah.

Okay, Sam and Ralph, the sheepdog and then the

other coyote or wolf or whatever Ralph is or

whatever. I like those more than I like the Roadrunner

cartoons, but they're essentially the same damn

thing. The Roadrunner cartoons, the coyote is

trying to catch him so he can eat him and whatever.

The Sam and Ralph cartoons, Ralph is trying to

get the sheep. And they play it like it's a business.

Cause at the beginning of the cartoon, they both

clock in. It's like the crack ass crack of dawn.

And then when they both clock out, they're like,

yeah, say tomorrow. Like nothing happened. And

that's what's great about cartoons. And that's

what's great about some of the tiny like. I think

we've done, and I forget who was on the episode,

but I think we've, because I've done this whole

changeover thing with Tooncast now, where like

for the first two years, because originally,

and I've said this before in past episodes, when

we started the network in June 1st of 2009, I

wanted everything to have a two year goal. So

movie we can review tune cast whatever review

show and here it is 2022 almost however long,

you know 14 15 years later Like when I stopped

to cast in 2011 and started to cast beyond it

was because to cast was everything from the past

to cast beyond is everything from you know, 2000

and now and Now that I you have kind of just

made it all one big thing. It's like oh, let's

go back and Like, yes, Tooncast episode three

where we talked about Tiny Toon Adventures overall

as a series is still there. Let's go back and

do the seasons and look at the individual episodes

kind of thing. So we've already done season one.

I forget who I did it with, but I want to go

back and do season two and season three because

these cartoons are fun, especially now that we're

old enough to get a lot of the inside jokes and

just have a ball with it. So yeah. That's my

spiel. Also, we can get more jokes and we can

get more jokes and then some jokes even evolve,

like going back to happy world land. Now we laugh

for a different reason. And cry for another reason.

Now we have a different reason that we're laughing.

We laugh through the tears, Trish. We're like...

You know, we look at our wallets as, you know,

as they just, we look at our wallets in our bank

account as they stare up at us and go, when will

the pain end, mommy? When will the pain end?

Never. Never. It's like, sweetie, it's not up

to me. It's up to the, it's up to the faceless

mouse corporation. The faceless mouse corporation

that may not have a mouse very much longer. Because

you too could own Mickey in 2024 if his thing

goes to public domain. Yeah, I doubt. I doubt

the mouse house will let that come on. He's now

there. I don't know. There's been a lot of questionable

things lately, so who knows. Yeah, we'll see.

I'll start it with a mouse. I don't think that

mouse is going anywhere. Yep. Yep. Yep. Anything

else on? Yeah, this movie will always be one

of my favorite childhood movies with lots of

good memories attached to it. And I will continue

to watch it every year. And it's actually on

Hulu streaming if people want to go watch it.

Yep. And I recommend go watching it and just

go relive your childhood. And if you know your

kids, make new memories for your kids. They might

not get all the jokes, but you'll enjoy it anyway.

You know what? And some, then they may, with

some they may actually get it, but like in a

different context. Like they'll laugh at different

reasons. Yeah, the kids are gonna laugh at one

thing and the adults are gonna laugh at a completely

other thing that the kids aren't gonna get. Yep

Yep, so and then you know, we'll laugh at we'll

laugh at the the nod to deliverance and just

but our laugh will be different and You know,

hopefully hopefully the kids won't try to You

know look up more about deliverance and go mommy.

What does it mean when he says I've got a pretty

mouth? Oh God, that's so hilarious. So funny.

All right, so we are going to rate this zero

to five. I assume we're all giving it fives.

Yes. Yep. Not even a, there's not even like a,

yeah. Not even a question. No, because again,

it's just pure summertime fun. Like I said, with

the book end of leaving school and returning

to school, and all the adventures that they had,

and again, with all the various voices and characters

that they meet, and all of that, it's just fun.

And everyone should watch Tiny Timid Adventures,

how I spent my... Summer vacation. I don't care

what the VHS copy is allowing or not allowing.

VHS is no longer a thing. Just put the word summer

back. I agree. Yeah, exactly. Just put it back,

man. I mean, or at least, okay. Well, okay. If

it can't fit like on the DVD or Blu -ray, the

side of the DVD, Blu -ray or 4K, okay. Fine.

Fine. But at the very least, when it's on Hulu

or it's streaming, put it back! I mean, come

on! Yeah, really. Ugh. Okay, so those are Eduardo's

final thoughts. Trish, what are your final thoughts

before we go to a break? Well, now I think everyone

needs to stop and go right to Hulu and watch

it. And then, you know, Kids, at the very end

of the movie, when they're singing the song and

they say to push rewind and it's summertime again,

that's something us old people had to do. We

had to rewind the VHS tape and start watching

it again from the beginning, which I did on occasion.

I would follow that direction. And yeah, sometimes

I'd watch the movie a couple times a day. So

you know what? It's that good. Go watch it. Absolutely,

folks. We're going to take a quick break. You're

going to hear some ads and some other stuff.

We're going to close out the show after this.

all about cartoon watching So is it 30 a piece

or is it gonna be like she gets 15 I get 50 No,

it's you eating You answer, she answers, or if

you want women to go first, she answers, then

you answer. So if I ask you, did you grow up

watching cartoons, and what were some of the

earliest cartoon memories that you remember?

answer, because you each have your own stories.

Trying to make our spot sound more exciting by

could have got the point across with sound effects,

not the real thing. Download the show on iTunes

or at simplisticreviews .blogspot .com. I'm sure

your insurance company will cover that. No, they

won't. No, they probably won't. After all, music

is the universal language. His music does have

a certain rustic, je ne sais quoi, romantic charm.

If you know what I mean. Why buster bunny, are

you falling for me? You might say that. Hey,

I sure got a lot to learn about cartoons. Yeah,

yeah, yeah, there'll be plenty of time for that

when school starts. If you're late for the first

day of school, you're cuckoo. School's starting

already? Way to go, Huck Finn. We spent our entire

vacation down river. Summer's over. Yeah, and

I can't think of a better way to have spent it,

Babs, than with you. Really? Absolutely. But

wait, there's more! Yes, that's right, Dr. Duven

Schmertz, but wait, there's more. Ladies and

gentlemen, you've just heard myself, Eduardo,

and Trish talk about how I spent my summer vacation

in the Tiny Toons movie, and since we did the

recording, San Diego Comic -Con has happened,

and I cannot release this episode of Tooncast

without having us come in here at the very end,

at the tail end of the show. To talk about what

happened at San Diego Comic Con 2022. I thought

what happens at San Diego stays at San Diego.

No, that's only when it's in Vegas and they call

it Las Vegas, whatever. Oh, okay. What happens

in Vegas stays on your lip. Yeah, that's probably

true sadly. So ladies and gentlemen this is coming

from I'm getting this from gizmodo because not

that I Necessarily trust them but out of all

the people who reported on this they reported

on the whole of the announcement not just pointing

out the the the disturbing part of it, so Tiny

Toons Lootiversity, I kind of heard that this

was coming But I didn't really, it was like,

Oh, it'll be there. And honestly, personally,

for me personally, I have seen the first two

season of Animaniacs and other than having the

voice cast back, I hate the writing. I cannot

stand how in your face and as soon as they did

the election episode in season two, I think it

was, I was out. I'm like, you'd like if Tom Ruger

was in charge of that show. things would have

been done so much more not underhanded but more

tactful and more subtle as a joke and yeah more

subtle and as a joke instead of like we need

to have a whole election episode no you don't

don't do that so anyway Tiny Toons Luniversity

Bugs Bunny Builders and a Halloween special join

new Looney Tunes era At San Diego Comic -Con

2022, io9 sat down with creative teams shepherding

Warner Bros. classic Looney Tunes characters

into new and reimagined cartoons in a push led

by Looney Tunes cartoonist Alex Kerwan, who spearheads

the franchise's current slate of shorts on HBO

Max. The beloved animation icons will soon expand

into even more content. There's an upcoming Tiny

Tunes Looniversity revival. a Halloween special

and Bugs Bunny Builders for kids. So the biggest

thing out of the Tiny Toon University announcement

that everybody is making a big deal of, and I'm

not trying to make a big deal of it, hence why

this is at the very tail end of this episode,

sort of. They announced it. The art looks amazing.

I cannot wait. I'm most interested to see and

hear who they got for Hampton and Plucky because

none of the original cast are returning for this

reboot. Whoa, no Charlie Adler? No Trace McNeil?

Really? I don't know. I know Tress isn't there

because the female voice actor who was, uh, Ashley

Crystal Hairston? She's the new Babs Bunny, whoever

she is. Never heard of her. Yeah, exactly. Um,

yeah, so. Yeah, no clue so basically Let's see

I grew so Hairston says and I grew up in the

90s and I was a huge fan of Tiny Tunes Looney

Tunes But I like all of it She said before explaining

how she found the voice just to be playing Babs

Bunny is wild to me So yeah, she is the new Babs

Bunny Okay, I I don't know who the new buster

is and it really doesn't really doesn't matter

to me You know, it is what it is and whatever.

But what does kind of matter to me is kind of

seeing who they get for Hampton and Plucky, just

because I don't know who they're going to get

yet. And I haven't seen any news articles since

this one came out on Wednesday. So yeah, I don't

know. But as part of the San Diego Comic -Con

reveal, they were revealing part of the story.

And Buster and Beb's bunny are now fraternal

twins. So they are now related. Don't scream,

Eduardo. I'm warning you ahead of time. Do not

scream, Eduardo. No, no, no. Buster and Beb's

not related. No, no, no. That's some Lannister

crap happening there, isn't it? It's like, come

on. I mean, we were just talking about how they,

you know, have a thing for each other in, in

the movie. And now they're making them fraternal

twins, which grosses me out because I actually

have a fraternal twin brother. So, that's just,

that makes me want to erase, erase, erase, erase,

delete, delete, delete it and look. We're not

going to spend too much time on this, folks.

This is just a book in this, this latest episode

of Tunecast. And then we are going to move on

to the next week's episode. But I had to put

this at the tail end of this because yikes. Oh

my God. And look for me, I, I care, but I don't

really care. It's not the end of the world for

me. Is it crazy and weird as all hell? Yes. Because

of, as we already said, the romantic notions

that the best friends. Cause look, this is the

other thing. You can have a male best friend

and a female best friend be best friends with

each other and not have any romantic notions

towards each other, obviously at some point or

another. They had romantic notions towards each

other in the 90s Starry Toons animated series.

This is a whole new thing for a whole new generation

and... I don't know, it might make things more

barren -stain -ish? I don't know. I guess. Or,

you know, I mean, hey, I guess it'll open up

to, you know, open up avenues to give both of

them their own, you know, love interests and,

you know, open up some new characters. Yeah,

I guess. Well, that's about the only thing I

can think of, you know, that somebody's there

like, oh, you know, we need to introduce some

new characters. Hey, why don't we just make these

guys fraternal twins and, you know, we can give

them some love interests and, you know. Then

you also see the thing like Elmira is like I

already know because crease said it herself Elmira

is not coming back Just like in Animaniacs that

Minerva isn't cut didn't come back and other

characters didn't come back. I thought the characters

are not wait I thought that it got I thought

that Elmira's non return was debunked That she

really was it. I could swear that I saw something

I, we'd have to look it up and I'll fix it in

the next episode. But it's just one of those

things where the latest that I have known about

it is that Elmira is not going to be in the show.

Oh gosh. I guess, I guess PETA, you know, PETA

was kind of like, Hey, maybe we should skip the

one who like kills with kindness. I mean, here's

the thing. We... Like I said, I've been going

back through vacation and the other seasons and

I'm like, wow, yeah, she's a little obsessed.

And for the 90s, it was fine because it was a

stereotype and it was this and it was that and

whatever, but I don't know. I don't know. It

is what it is. So that's going to do it for us

here on episode 285. Join us next week. which

we will be doing right now here in a moment but

join us next week for episode 286 where these

two will be back and i will be putting them each

in the cartoon hot seat and like i said already

unleash the tune in you
