allama ( film )

a film is about a mystic poet allama prabhu and his journey through philosophies .
‘ts nagabharana’s film ‘allama’ nominated as the indian entry for icft unesco gandhi medal .
one knew that t . s . nagabharana’s allama was going to tell us the story of the 12th century mystic allama prabhu . but what about allama exactly ?
( kfcc ) . the film body is normally the venue of arbitration between film personalities .
the film captures the story of the rebellious thinker allama , also known as allama prabhu .
allama
is a film about 12th century metaphysician , a son of a temple dancer who embarks on a quest for knowledge and answers to his four core sentiments , yearning , and obsession – maddales , failures and self - realization .
a scene from allama prabhu , a film based on the famous vachana - saint of karnataka . the music of the film will be composed by bapu padmanabha ( right ) .
ts nagabharana’s attempt to bring to screen the life of saint - poet allama prabhu is doubtlessly commendable . what was allama prabhu’s revolutionary breaking down of rigid cultural conventions in the 12th century still resonates with today’s needs . but as a film , allama fails . you may want to watch the film only for the sake of reverence to the real allama prabhu and not because his life , ideas and ideals are portrayed convincingly here .
11 : 46 am : film director radha krishna jagarlamudi is the jury member for film friendly award .
allama is one of my favourite subjects and it gave me immense pleasure to work on this film . with the blessings of my guru
it took film director t . s . nagabharana three years of research of ancient texts , and one year of filming , to complete allama prabhu , a yet to be released historical film .
marathi film kaasav bagged the best feature film award while fireflies in the abyss won the same award in the non - feature film category when the awards were announced on friday .
allama prabhu comes to kalyan , where basavanna resides . it is here that we go on a journey to understand the mystic poet philosopher ` s life and journey till now . the film traces allama ` s tryst with music , lust and more .

conferred the national film awards for the year 2015 in various categories at the 63rd national film awards function held at vigyan bhawan .
a film about a mystic poet allama prabhu and his journey thro ugh philosophies , this biopic of the social reformer from a senior director t s nagabharana is somewhat fictionalised .
is nagabharana attempting a biopic ? is it an elaboration of a particular phase of allama’s life ? is he going to propose an argument about what the poet - philosopher stood for ? strangely , even at the end of the 139 - minute - long film , one does not gain a sense of what the film really wants to say about allama .
carnatic , hindustani and lounge music have been the tools of expressions for mr . padmanabha for allama prabhu’s vachanas .
one was looking forward to the music and the poetry of allama prabhu , but nagabharana struggles to weave it within the narrative he tries to tell . often , they end up as disjointed segments in an otherwise incoherent film . perhaps , what allama needed was an anchor to first tell the story coherently .
this competition section shall have eight films including
allama

staged a demonstration at the dc’s office here on wednesday to push for a ban on the screening of kannada movie ‘allama’ .
allama unfolds the story of the life of the most significant mystique saint allama prabhu , who was a 12th - century mystic - saint and vachana poet ( called vachanakara ) of the kannada language , propagating the unitary consciousness of self and shiva .
actress meghana raj has limited screen space , but she has done maaya’s character justice . lakshmi gopalaswamy’s portrayal of allama’s mother is noteworthy and so is taushir’s as allama in his boyhood . sanchari vijay does not have much scope for performance as basavanna .
mumbai , nov 8 ( pti ) national award winning director ts nagabharanas
allama
has been nominated as indias entry for the international council for film , television and audio - visual communication ( icft ) unesco gandhi medal at the 47th international film festival of india ( iffi ) .
there are some performances that salvage the film though . lakshmi gopalaswamy as the mother of little allama is effective , for instance . even meghana tries her best to save a role that is too simplistically crafted .

the new film has been titled as ' kumbhakarna ' and jadesh himself has written the story and screenplay apart from directing it . the film is being based on sleeping syndrome and the hero in this film sleeps for 15 hours a day . what will he do in the remaining eight hours forms the crux of the film .
apart from prajwal , there is one more hero in the film and jadesh is yet to finalize the other hero apart from star cast and technicians of the film . the film is all set to go on floors in the end of may .
if you wave away the historical accuracies and inaccuracies , the film can be watched a tribute to the saint from nagabharana . it can also make for a beginner’s guide for youngsters who don’t know anything about allama .
then there is the issue of the crafting of allama’s character . one wishes nagabharana had spent some time constructing his allama for the audience . he does not show the evolution of allama’s thoughts , his philosophy , and most of all , his poetry . instead , he tells us , right from the time he introduces allama on screen , that here is a venerable figure ; someone meant not for the worldly , but the ethereal . but this strategy seems lacking and robs the audience of an urge to root for the central figure . the distance between us and nagabharana’s allama is further accentuated by the nature of the dialogues which oscillate between being text - bookish and colloquial .

national film awards 2017 : find the full winners ' list and get live updates .
dhananjay , an established commercial hero , took the risk of doing a period film and he does it well . reconstructing allama’s life was like returning to his theatre days , and he has scored in all aspects including with his attire , his body language and dialogue delivery . he has always been a director’s actor . playing allama , he has strictly followed nagabharana’s instructions .
this film unfolds the story of the life of the most significant mystique saint , allama prabhu , who was a 12th - century mystic - saint and vachana poet of the kannada language , propagating the unitary consciousness of self and shiva .
the film was nominated as india ' s entry for the international council for film , television and audio - visual communication ( icft ) unesco gandhi medal . [ 2 ] at the 64th national film awards , the film won awards for best music direction ( bapu padmanabha ) and best make - up artist ( n . k . ramakrishna ) . [ 3 ]
akshay kumar won the best actor award , sonam kapoor’s neerja won the best hindi feature film award , zaira wasim grabbed the award for best supporting actress at the national film awards .
sharan is looking forward for the release of his new film ' rambo 2 ' and the film is likely to release after elections . meanwhile , sharan ' s new film is all set to be launched on the 15th of may and the shooting will be held in america .
maybe not many of today’s actors can pull off a role like what dhananjaya has managed with allama . as both a young allama and as the one who has attained enlightenment he looks and acts the part . the other characters have roles too small to make a meaningful impact . in the end , nagabharana tries to make a film on one of karnataka’s greatest social reformers but comes up short .
11 : 47 pm : uttar pradesh has been declared as the film friendly state in india .
the much - awaited winners’ list of the 64th national film awards was announced on friday morning .
the rashtriya basavadal and basava peetha staged a demonstration at the dc’s office here on wednesday to push for a ban on the screening of kannada movie ‘allama’ .
the 64th national film awards saw the best of indian cinema being honoured . this year , the top awards were bagged by akshay kumar , who won the best actor award , surabhi , who won the best actress award , and marathi film kasav was named the best feature film of 2016 .
the film is about the 12th century meta - physician , yogi allama , a son of a temple dancer who embarks on a quest for knowledge and answers to his four core sentiments , yearning , and obsession ? maddales , failures and self - realisation .
one of the bloggers , using the alias allama ayaz nizami , had 12 , 000 followers , said the official , who did not want to be identified .
the film , which does not lose the soul of the story , resonates strongly with the current audiences because it decodes human relationships . telling the story of a philosopher’s life without sounding preachy is not easy , and the director has managed it well in allama .
if everything had gone right , then guru deshapande was supposed to direct a film called ' taakre ' for prajwal devaraj . however , the film got delayed due to various reasons and now guru is producing a film for prajwal devaraj . jadesh who had directed ' raja - hamsa ' is the director .

these were the kind of questions we wanted to address in iqbal : an approach to pakistan , the first made - for - tv film about the life of allama iqbal . indeed , when we started making the film in 2006 , these questions were more common than they are today . somehow , it seems that the nation has started coming out of its confusions , and now , it may be found that the answers offered in our film are becoming increasingly more relevant .

take a look at all the bollywood and non - bollywood films that grabbed the national film award this year .
having said that , the research done by nagabharana on allama and for 3 years does not reflect on the silver screen . a sliver of the social reformer’s life has been explored .
for allowing me complete creative freedom in my first project as composer . our collaboration for allama happened over three years , even before he began shooting the film , and continued over its making . he would explain the visuals for each scene and we would plan the background score or the songs accordingly .
as with most films set in history , this one to tries to create the mood of that era by having the characters speak like they were reading out of a book . it is more like a stage play in that respect . most of the other historical characters apart from allama are mere footnotes . that is where the film fails to create dramatic moments and tends to be a documentary of allama’s life . even the assassination of king bijjala is passed off in a few seconds .
film makers usually have a grouse with the cbfc over cuts and mutes suggested and also the kind of certificate that is provided . but once the certificate is issued , any dispute is forgotten . not so for the makers of kiragoorina gayyaligalu . the protests against the cbfc for making several mutes to the dialogues in the film continued even after the film released last week . other film makers too joined forces and a protest demonstration was held in front of cbfc office .
he 46th international film festival of india , that began in goa on november 20 , draws to close today with a closing ceremony paying a musical tribute to the spirit of cinema and screening of the closing film ‘the clan’ from argentina .
allama is disappointing , especially with its poor cinematic exploration . it is text heavy and tries to pack in an entire lifetime of a well - known figure but ultimately , says nothing much .
the censor certificate also gives the reason for giving the film an ua certificate . it says ,
the dialogues , theme and content of the film involve men - women relationship , which warrants parental guidance to children below 12 years .
, the win for best makeup for allama was an affirmation of his over four decades in the film industry . “this is my first win at the national level and it gives me immense happiness that it was with a subject like this . working on a historical is always challenging , as you don’t have much reference material to go by in planning the look of each character . on this film , though , the whole team brainstormed to figure out how best to portray each person . we did several trials , zeroed in on the look and often improvized on the set . the film required a lot of preparation and the work of wig maker kumar has to be highlighted , as his work contributed to the overall look of allama , ” says ramakrishna .

allama , from the director’s standpoint , uses sourced material . the film is on the poet’s life , starting from his childhood . how he breaks out from his mother’s clutches only to get an education . there are his few moments with maaya , who is head - over - heels with the poet’s expertise in mridanga .
the film plays things safe . great care is taken not to offend anybody’s sensibilities . if at all the saint’s critique on social norms is used , it is in the form of his vachanas and even then , in a generalised way . a sharana is shown being criticised by allama verbally for building stone temples and not finding god within himself . but in the next scene , he is shown demonstrating his kundalini power to vedic priests performing a yajna without speaking a word . for those who do not know about the life of allama prabhu this film is a good beginning , but not necessarily the best introduction to one of kannada’s greatest poet philosophers .
bapu padmanabha scored the film ' s background and the soundtrack . the soundtrack album consists of 18 tracks . [ 6 ] it includes 14 vachanas ; 11 of allama prabhu , and 1 each of basava , akka mahadevi and siddheshwar . [ 7 ] the album was released on 31 march 2016 in bangalore . [ 8 ]
as part of cultural exchange programme , directorate of film festivals in collaboration with iran cultural house , new delhi is organising an iranian film festival in sirifort auditoirium - 2 from 16 - 19 july 2016 . 14 films will be screened during this festival .
uttar pradesh was declared the most film - friendly state in india . the jury members also made a special mention of jharkhand .
the legendary urdu poet mohammed iqbal ( allama iqbal ) , the spiritual parent of pakistan , had composed a national song for india , saare jahan se accha hindustan hamara , but nothing for the pakistani nation .
composed to reflective poetry from allama iqbal , this track in the rustic voice of noor lodhi is the theme of josh . muhabbat ka junoon ost : josh vocals : noor lodhi directed by : iram parveen bilal dop : nabeela khan lyrics : allama iqbal composed by : noor lodhi and asim wali music : shahi hasan , manesh judge , asim wali produced by shahi hasan of indus world music copyright indus world music 2013
using the verses penned by allama as the basis , nagabharana structures the story as a flashback . he begins right at the beginning of allama’s life . so we go through three or four distinct chapters — his childhood , his youth , his tryst with spirituality , and then his later years . this canvas is rather large and naturally , nagabharana , at best , can give each phase only a few scenes . but this quick , episodic structure makes it difficult to relate to the central figure of the narrative . overall , nagabharana’s allama feels distant ; what we end up with is a list of bullet points about the philosopher .
it is a complete image - makeover for dhananjay who plays the older version of allama . but his performance as the mystic saint often borders on the melodramatic . a case in point is when maya ( meghana raj ) , a temple dancer , tries to seduce allama . dhananjay’s reactions to the advances made by a lady or , in a metaphorical sense , to ‘worldly pleasures’ , evoke laughter despite the poignancy of the situation .
may allaah bless you for giving us such a thought provoking film . it gives an altogether new dimension to the profession of teaching .
the film landed in a controversy prior to its release in january 2016 , after groups such as rashtriya basavadal and basava peetha staged demonstrations in dharwad calling for its ban . they alleged that the film wrongly depicts the ritual of wearing miniaturized iconographic form of the deity shiva , the jyotirlinga . they claimed that , instead , ishtalinga should have been depicted . [ 4 ] the film shows the worship of lingam performed placing it on the devotee ' s right hand , when they claimed that history states that it was done by keeping it in the left hand . the protesters also said that allama prabhu and akka mahadevi are depicted in the film without wearing the lingam . they claimed that
all these scenes prove that it is a systematic approach to fabricate vachana sahitya
, in a memorandum submitted to the chief minister of karnataka calling for the film ' s ban . [ 5 ]
as allama , especially in his old - age get up , ramakrishna adds that getting the look right for the supporting cast was even more difficult . “for allama himself , we had some reference material , but that was not the case for most of the other characters and we had to take a leap of faith , hoping that we were as authentic as possible to how people dressed and looked back then ,
he says .
sharan ' s new film has been titled as ' adhyaksha in america ' and is the remake of malayalam hit ' two countries ' . sharan and ragini will be reprising the role of dilip and mohan das in the kannada version of the film . earlier , ragini had danced for an item song with sharan in ' victory ' . now sharan and ragini are acting as hero , heroine in this film .

the film ' s director and those supporting it cite that the film is based on the story of the same name by the late poornachandra tejaswi and that the story itself contains all these words . they blamed the censor of being prudish to mute and cut words that are commonly used by people .

since 2009 , when the film was officially aired from ptv and released on dvd , i have been showing it in schools , colleges , universities and teacher - training institutes . i have felt that the general interest is increasing with time : the audience seems lot more enthusiastic about this little known film now than two years ago .

now that iqbal academy pakistan has put it up on its youtube channel , i can conveniently share it in this newsletter . i am doing so with much joy because i really like this film much more than some of my other writings . the basic idea was developed by my friend faisal rehman , who also directed it ( and those of you who remember him as the trendsetting “armaan” from the 1981 movie nahin abhi nahin will find an extra layer of meaning in the film ) . i wrote the script and iqbal academy pakistan produced it . some of the big stars of our film and media appear in the film – usman pirzada , waseem abbas , saba pervez , shamil khan , shujaat hashmi , among others .
nagabharana , who has bagged national award nine times in the past , said ,
i must congratulate and thank the entire team of allama . the 12th century saint poet , yogi allamas vision of truth , self - realisation and universal brotherhood is of extreme relevance in todays turbulent times . . .
one of the major issues with composing allama iqbal’s poetry is that it has been done so fashionably by the band junoon that anything different feels like abuse , whereas anything similar seems to be a complete rip - off . mohabbat ka junoon , a poem by allama iqbal , is featured as the thematic soundtrack for the film and has been composed by noor lodhi and asim khan . the vocals are by noor lodhi , music is given by shahi hasan , manesh judge & noor lodhi , whereas the song has been produced by shahi hasan . the clichéd use of guitars and the tabla makes the sound appear weary . while iqbal’s lyrics hold a deep , philosophical and interesting meaning to them , an avid music listener will hardly be able to contain a yawn . innovation is what’s lacking here and not content .
while the philosophy of the unitary consciousness of the self and shiva and of the shunya ( void ) is repetitively upheld in the film , it is not adequately explored or even explained well .
that such a classic needed the right music to take the message across was on top of nagabharana’s mind , when he asked bapu padmanabha nearly three years ago to score the music for the film .
sorry about my long absence . i hope , what i am offering today will make up for it to some extent . it is the first made - for - tv feature film . . .

“mr . padmanabha’s soft and restrained style of flute playing stems from the fact that he was trained by renowned flautist hariprasad chaurasia . he has dozens of meditative albums to his credit . if the essence of the vachana lyric has to be understood as a subdued flow weaved in through a classical approach , his style fits the period film’s essence , ” says mr . nagabharana . last week saw the audio release of the film .
one of the oldest percussion instruments , older than the mridanga , the maddale , used by the nattuvara community has been fully utilised for portraying allama . apart from mr . padmanabha himself lending his voice and flute , tracks are sung by shankar mahadevan , sangeetha katti , manjula gururaj , ganesh desai , hemant , rajesh krishnan and tejaswini m . k .

“just as we open up windows and doors to allow the rays of sunlight in , the already embedded lyrical musicality had to be tapped and let loose in the vachanas , ” says mr . padmanabha who felt he could musically connect to the philosophical lines of the film .
the movie indicates that the ritual of wearing a miniature representation of the ‘linga’ existed before basavanna’s period and it claims it was practised in the vedic period . instead of ‘istalinga’ , the movie has shown ‘jyothirlinga’ , the protesters said . without studying the sharana culture , the director has shown that ‘linga puja’ was performed keeping the ‘linga’ in the right hand , while as per tradition , it was kept in the left hand . “allama prabhu and
allama , the son of a temple dancer neelalochane , has divine gift of playing maddale . his quest for knowledge takes him on a journey that enables him to overcome each of his sentiments - his longing for his mother , his obsession with maddale , the guru who fails him , the temptations offered by persistent maya and finally the realization of self . after meeting his guru animishayya , allama becomes prabhu , a master of monotheistic and non - dualistic philosophy . his influences on basavanna and others , help consolidate the veerashaiva movement . he questions and ridicules the social evils , rituals , superstitions , idol worship , caste system and inequalities among humans . he foresees a violent upsurge in kalyana and after advising basavanna and others to find their final solace , starts on his final journey to shrishaila and becomes one with the nature in the true spirit of his concept of bayalu - the space .
then there is his association with other vachana - saints - bassavanna and akka mahadevi - - and last , in the scheme of things , comes his ideals . in a time when filmmakers are steadily marching towards commercially viable films , nagabharana’s attempt with a period film should be admired .
“a picturesque portrayal of allama and maaye’s romantic escapade for a track also brings in dr . doddarange gowda’s lyrics for a typical janapada flow , ” says mr . padmanabha . “i have used soft flute lounge , which is my signature style . the track has mr . nagabharana’s son , pannaga bharana’s song picturisation that elevates the poetic mood , ” says mr . padmanabha who has selected rages as basant - malhar , bhairavi and charukesi for the tracks according to the mood .

from the film’s soundtrack , the only video track that has been released is probably not getting as much air time on music channels as other pop songs due to ramazan and its ‘different’ sound . however , the remaining three songs from josh ’s soundtrack are rather simple and basic , with only a few striking moments . shahi hasan and his studio indus world music have produced three songs for the film while the remaining one has only been mixed by him . after a disappointing season of cornetto music icons , where none of the songs succeeded in making a great impact despite having big names in the line - up , shahi applies his age - old approach to music in josh . while the music does sound catchy at some instances , it appears to be repetitive and overdone . having said that , the overall mood of the music does manage to create a raw appeal , which is needed for an independent film like josh . however , the real impact will only be felt once it’s played in the cinemas
the third song of the film has two versions to it and is the original soundtrack ( ost ) for the movie . both versions of the song have been composed by shahi hasan and zoe viccaji , who has also given the vocals . it’s a slow and mellow number with a soft and somewhat grey feel to it . the sound of the guitar sets an ideal background for the film , which highlights stories inspired by indo - pak partition . the melody is powerful and flows smoothly , at least in the english version of the song called the time has come . however , in the urdu version , one can notice zoe trying to make an extra effort that does not suit her vocal texture .
the much - awaited winners of the 64th national film awards for the films released in 2016 were declared during a press conference at 11 : 30 am at national media centre in new delhi on friday , april 7 . filmmaker priyadarshan was the chairperson of the jury in feature films category , while nationally acclaimed cinematographer and a writer raju misra was the chairperson in non - feature category .
usually the focus of interest for the foreign visitors , this section invites the participation of national film makers from all regions and languages . the selection of the best entries for the year , made by panels of eminent personalities associated with the cinema , is based on the thematic and aesthetic excellence of the films , without any attempt at regional representation . the films are provided with english subtitles before being screened at the festival .
the sound mixing has been done by shahi hasan . tu nach is by far the most captivating song in the film . however , it isn’t really an extraordinary composition – you are likely to find hundreds of punjabi tracks with a similar melody . nevertheless , it’s the groovy , engaging beat of the tabla that makes this song so powerful . the rap does not appear out of place within the song , but it does seem slightly exaggerated at places .
best feature film : kasaav ( marathi ) best direction : rajesh mapuskar for ventilator ( marathi ) best actor : akshay kumar for rustom ( hindi ) best actress : surabhi c . m for minnaminungu – the firefly ( malayalam ) best supporting actor : manoj joshi for dashakriya ( marathi ) best supporting actress : zaira wasim for dangal ( hindi ) best child artist : adish praveen for kunju daivam ( malayalam ) , nur islam and samiul alam for sahaj pather gappo ( bengali ) , manohara . k for railway children ( kannada )
the cbfc had imposed two deletes and several mutes to the film . the certificate instructed ,
delete the close up visuals of children running without underwear , delete by 30 % , saree fight scene between two women , and mute / delete the following words wherever they occur : munde , rande , tika , chinali munde , ganchali munderu , male bandaaga nela kaanala , mooru kaasina hengasaru , lowdi mundere , munderu , boli , sule , chaddi bichu , avan laddi , bicchidhaage , mindri . and , in the climax , mandya ramesh ' s dialogue , ' yela hengasaru barali . . seere , bichu kelage hakikondu maadthini , kelasa maadu , ninn ayyan , nin mikhakke hot huyya , etc .
it is an anthology film based on of five different life stories . a slice of lives of a few people all culminating on new year’s eve . a radio jockey also a stand - up comedian who would make the world around him laugh their souls out , has a girlfriend bedridden with terminal disease , a constable who hates his job , an anti - social thug who hates any kind of celebration , an it techie who thinks new year’s eve is just another day and a manager of car showroom who is unhappy about his overly orthodox wife , search for something they don’t have , but the new year’s eve has more than they can imagine . their life changes in its own ways , finally they start their new life but the search is still on .
whats a agreat movie , superb ; i watched this film before , when ptv released it in 2007 , irealy impressed by it , at that time ; dayar e ishq me apna muqam paida kar , nae subhe , nae sham paida kar . as iqbal said in 1930
ilead no party , ifollow no leader , ihave given the best part of my life to careful study of isla ; its law and polity , its culture , its history and its literature . this constant contact with the spirit of islam as it unfold , itself in time , has , ithink given me a kind of insight into the significance as a world fact .
according to this adress , i don ' t considered that , iqbal wants this type of world , it is not the same pakistan which idealised by sir muhammed iqbal . we , and our
nasl e now
always read that iqbal is our national poet and he is the man who first put forward the idea of pakustan , this is his pakistan where merit has no value , where a life has no value , where no any law and constitution according to islam . no ; he put forward the idea of pakistan like
marghdeen
a world with love and peace .

arguably , the more daring and amped - up attitude began when tiny toon adventures unwittingly kick - started the dtv craze with how i spent my vacation , never intentioned for the big screen but released to video and laserdisc at the insistence of spielberg , who felt such an animated film would play better in the home where it could be repeated ( and was , ad infinitum , by many ! ) . since its debut , how i spent my vacation has remained a favorite among tiny toons fans , with its story threads criss - crossing around each other to include all the toons as they embark on various holidays that take them to the far corners of america .

certainly within the broader confines of how fast and loose the artists play , tiny toon adventures : how i spent my vacation visually remains more fluid and theatrical than many of the shows being produced with the computer assisted systems of today . when effects are needed , they’re sufficiently striking , coupled with what may well be a happy accident in the art department of having several units producing their own sequences individually , resulting in each set of characters’ adventures each having their own unique look and color approaches – pretty cool stuff .
in 2008 and 2009 , warner home video released season 1 , volume 1 and volume 2 of the steven spielberg - presented tiny toon adventures , and since then there ' s been no further word about more dvd releases of the popular animated show . today , however , the studio announced that they ' re coming out with something new at last ! no , it ' s not the 2nd or 3rd seasons of the series . instead , they ' re bringing out the long - awaited direct - to - video telefilm tiny toon adventures - how i spent my vacation .
plucky : “ah , winter vacation , hamton , if i ask nicely , i can get you to hang around with me . ”
so there , that about covers it . if congintofalcon or tom ruegger has any thoughts ( or maybe some other warner bros . club member ) , feel free to drop by . sorry for all of those spoilers . i just don ' t know how many non - tta fans who never saw how i spent my vacation would ' ve reacted .

: babs and buster , because they spent their entire summer vacation floating down the river and were nearly eaten multiple times .
babs , after trashing a tv that was showing a rerun of tiny toons : i hate the way i was drawn in that episode . i hate the way i was drawn in this episode too .
in my early 20 ' s i went through that nostalgia phase where i ' d bitch and moan about how much better everything was in the 90 ' s , and i started revisiting all the movies and television shows i ' d watch in my childhood . i eventually came across how i spent my vacation and not only did it bring back all those nostalgia memories , but looking back i realize why i loved this movie so much : because as a kid , i could relate to it so much . when we were in elementary school , summer was paradise to us . just the thought of not having any school for almost three months was almost unfathomable after enduring a year of schoolwork and homework and teachers and rules .
elmyra : “i would like to buy this frisbee for my secret santa , please . ”
my sister and i ( ages 19 & 23 ) still quote it to each other .
this was pretty much the quintessential summer vacation movie from my childhood . lots of funny jokes , and i love how they threw in parodies of film , popular culture , and celebrities into the cartoon .
tiny toon adventures was the first and considering what it was rebooting , i don ' t think any of us saw much value in the show initially , but then i started watching it and then when it moved to nickeledoeon they played a marathon all day and i was hooked .
tiny toon adventures focuses on the new generation of looney tunes characters who study at acme looniversity . the series was produced by steven spielberg and warner bros . animation .

in 1990 , bugs bunny magazine reported that warner bros . was planning the release of how i spent my vacation , then referred to as a
tiny toon adventures home video
. plans for the film began before tiny toon adventures premiered on television . warner bros . discussed with executive producer steven spielberg whether the film should be released in theaters , but spielberg insisted on a direct - to - video release . spielberg said that he wanted to make the film a direct - to - video release because
animated features are ideally suited for the repeat viewing ,
a factor he found important to the genre ' s appeal to those watching animated films at home . in an interview for the los angeles times , executive in charge of production jean maccurdy did not specify the budget of the film , but stated that it was far more costly than episodes of tiny toon adventures . according to hal erickson ' s television cartoon shows : an illustrated encyclopedia , the budget of the average tiny toon adventures episode was approximately $ 350 , 000 .
hamton : “oh boy , i’ve never been super excited like this in all of my entire life . ”
other than that redundant stain , the rest of this movie is absolutely worth a watch , with all kinds of references to 90 ' s culture that is still so funny that it hardly comes off as dated . if you grew up in that decade , you will appreciate how i spent my vacation , and if you have children of your own , i highly recommend watching this with them one night . i always say that if i ever had a kid of my own , i ' d make them watch all the stuff i grew up on and this movie would most likely be the starting point .
my favorite part , though , was buster and babs ' river adventure . i liked the way their water fight escalated the way only a toon fight can do , and their voyage down river was pretty entertaining . someday i ' m going to learn how to whistle the tiny toon theme the way buster played it , but i haven ' t quite got it down yet . i need to watch the movie more often before i can remember it right . the superman cameo was great ! i ' m so glad that didn ' t get cut for some copyright reason later on .
man child : then - u . s . vice president dan quayle is portrayed as this in

, being completely obsessed with tiny toon adventures and having a race car bed .
this was one of the ultimate pieces of childhood nostalgia . i ' ll never forget when my mom took me to the local movie store and i grabbed it and watched it every day that it was in my possession . i was obsessed with it , yet for some reason i never did own it .
tiny toons was one of my favourite cartoons as a child . i ' m still a big fan of looney tunes , so i was excited to find this feature length movie . perhaps a little too excited .
after 21 years of waiting for the title to come to disc , fans truly are better off with their original vhs tapes and laserdisc editions and , if this is a way of testing the waters to find if there still is an audience for the remaining tiny toons on dvd then warners have shot themselves in the foot by not providing an even half - decent effort here , nor any particular incentive for fans . tiny toon adventures : how i spent my vacation is a boisterous and eminently re - watchable movie – but sadly not on this pathetic excuse for a dvd .
plucky : “how fascinating , i remember that 1 time when i was a little quacker known as plucky duckling , me and my mom took a ride on that elevator , but even though it was time to leave , i threw a real big tantrum twice as long , and my mom promised me next time , but i’m not gonna ride that elevator today this time . ”

, buster , babs , byron , and a possum literally go from a rollercoaster mine to falling into a plot hole ( or so the sign says ) which lands them back at acme university just in time for the fall semester to start .
it ' s a wonderful tiny toons christmas special - the characters sing a christmas - themed version of the song . also , in the alternate timeline , plucky is the star of tiny toon adventures and sings his own lyrics describing him as the star .
the title of this film was originally how i spent my summer vacation , but warner bros . shortened it so it would fit on the video cover . the same thing would happen years later to the animaniacs film it ' s a wakko , wakko , wakko , wakko wish , which would later be renamed to wakko ' s wish .

with cartoons now a bigger business than ever , thanks mainly to their staggering popularity on video , spielberg has graduated to making his own . he oversaw the production of two separate animated features arriving on cassette this week , and — what a surprise — they’re modeled on the director’s favorite ‘toon traditions . carrying on the warner gang’s wisecracking ways , there’s the made - for - video feature tiny toon adventures : how i spent my vacation . like the syndicated tiny toons tv series that spawned it , the movie is about grade - schoolers at ”acme looniversity” — not muppet baby - like throwbacks but new characters , who sit through classes led by ”professors emeritus” bugs , elmer , and porky .
i still have this on vhs . it ' s possibly one of the greatest things ever made in my opinion .

the telefilm was first released on vhs in 1992 , smack in the middle of the show ' s original broadcast run . the sequences in this production were later re - edited and put out as part of the series ' aired episodes . with no word yet of the second or third seasons coming to home video , tiny toon adventures - how i spent my vacation is the only taste fans will have for now of the later two seasons . if this sells well enough , then hopefully it will help encourage warner to finally continue with the season sets !

undeterred , bergen got his wish beginning in 1990 with the tiny toon adventures series , and in 2011 and 2013 was emmy - nominated for outstanding voice - over performance for the cartoon network’s the looney tunes show .
after the abysmally half - hearted release of tiny toon adventures : how i spent my vacation last summer ( a dvd which , honestly , looked and sounded better on its original vhs release in 1992 ! ) , it seemed that could be it for tiny toons on disc . the immensely popular series had first come to dvd way back in 2008 , in a great four - disc compendium of the first 35 episodes of the first season’s initial 65 - episode syndicated program ( hey , it even had extras ! ) , with the final 30 shows finding their way to disc under a year later . and then things went quiet , not just for tiny toons but for warners’ animated television shows in general .
i used to say this all the time . also my friends and i would point at each other and say ,
you go down the hoooooole .
good times .

according to sonic boom writer , alan denton , mr . hitcher served as the inspiration for the bike chain bandit in the episode ,
planes , trains , and dude - mobiles
. the scene where knuckles picks him up in that episode plays very similarly to the scene where hamton ' s family picks up mr . hitcher in how i spent my vacation .
barky marky ( voiced by frank welker ) is a young , brown and tan male dog . he is based on the looney tunes character marc antony . barky marky is portrayed as a typical canine who loves to play fetch as well as various other sports and activities . even though barky starred in his very own short entitled go fetch with elmyra duff , as well as making many cameo appearances on other episodes , appearing in the special tiny toon adventures : spring break special and the movie tiny toon adventures : how i spent my vacation , barky marky was still referenced and mocked for his lack of appearances on the saturday night live spoof weekday afternoon live . when buster bunny is reading the news out loud from the viewers complaining about him not being in enough episodes , babs bunny , posing as a tiny toons casting director , asks

although i already had this movie recorded on vhs from tv , and had a very limited income at the time , this was one of the tiny toon tapes that i just had to buy because i wanted it in the highest quality possible . i love every part of this movie , except perhaps for elmyra ' s part , but that ' s just because i ' m not too crazy about elmyra .

it’s here that one would place how i spent my vacation in a chronological listing , but this collection continues with the first four programs of season three , which perhaps points to a fifteen - episode final volume to include the final three specials ( it’s a wonderful tiny toon christmas special from 1992 , 1994’s tiny toon spring break and tiny toons night ghoulery from 1995 ) . spoofing the hugely popular drama of the time , september 1992’s thirteensomething , this full - length story might have worked best in shorter form , but things are made up for in new class day , during which “ the just - us league of supertoons ” introduces us to batduck and decoy , superbun , pink canary and others , battling the ruthless wex wuthor .
i don ' t care what you say , i still quite enjoy this film and i am waiting with bated breath that it gets a proper dvd release soon .

life update just because i haven ' t been too active . wanna share some shit that ' s been going on . 1 . so i ended up changing my college major from elementary education to media communications . the longer i stayed in my previous major , i realized ,
what the hell am i doing ? i ' m bored
. so next semester will begin my new major and they said i might be graduating in two years . 2 . on that subject , i graduated from community college last december , so i ' m at a new school now . 3 . i ' ve been going through depression since may , and it got to the point where it was affecting my physical health and my parents noticed . so i ended up going to the emergency room to get a proper diagnoses , and i was diagnosed with dysthymia , which is
mild but long term depression
. so now i ' ve got that plus anxiety playing in a band , so it really sucks . i ' m seeing a new therapist , too . my old one was great but we couldn ' t get regular meetings in anymore . 4 . uh . . . that ' s about it . between school and work , i don ' t lead a very interest

fifi ' s date with johnny pew was amusing , and i liked how it managed to tie in with shirley ' s date with foulmouth .
what’s nice in some respects is that how i spent my vacation hasn’t been shunted , as so many new releases from wb are nowadays , to the dvd - r archive collection series : i have no problem personally with that program ( even if i do make sure to back up my discs just in case ) , but maybe the spielberg name was enough to make sure the title was issued as a more widely available disc . hopefully , good sales will mean we will finally get the rest of the tiny toons episodes ( there are thirty - three to come ) , perhaps opening the floodgates for the last remaining volume of animaniacs as well as the debuts of histeria ! and taz mania too .
oh my god , that game gave me so much rage as a child . . . yet , i would rent it all the time .
the show has been reaired in russia since 2010 ,

was reaired in the uk in december 2011 , and the one hour special
night ghoulery
aired on vortexx on october 27 , 2012 , with a repeat airing on november 24 of the same year . tiny toon adventures went on to air on the hub ( now known as discovery family as of 2014 ) on july 1 , 2013 and continued to air on and off the channel until june 8 , 2015 . in 2018 , the series came to hulu as part of the deal for the streaming service to revive animaniacs . the entire series is available , as is how i spent my vacation and the night ghoulery and spring break specials .
among the same time that tiny toon adventures premiered , a quarterly children ' s magazine based on the series was published for at least seven issues . also , various storybooks were published by the little golden book company , including a few episode adaptations and some original stories ( lost in the fun house and happy birthday , babs ! ) . tiny toon adventures also had a comic book series made by warner bros and dc . the characters also made occasional cameo appearances in the animaniacs and pinky and the brain comic books .
why it ' s very simple . tms is really an anime studio , so when things get cheap the studio tends to have these brief slow movements that you usually see in anime , specficially when a character turns their head anxiously . the only time this happened in how i spent my vacation is when a bunch of dust cleared on a bird ' s - eye view angle . i don ' t remember the scene exactly , but another example is the animaniacs short

tiny toon adventures : how i spent my vacation is a direct - to - video animated movie made in 1991 , and released in march 11 , 1992 from warner bros . animation and amblin entertainment . it features the regular cast from the animated program tiny toon adventures . the film was produced by tom ruegger and written by paul dini , nicholas hollander , tom ruegger and sherri stoner . it was executive produced by steven spielberg . formerly available only in vhs and laserdisc format , the film is currently available on dvd . the film is 73 minutes , and is closed captioned for the hearing impaired . the animation was made by tokyo movie shinsa . this special was re - edited and cut into four separate episodes for syndication and airs as part of the original series . these syndicated versions first aired in february of 1993 on the fox network . the full movie later aired on nickelodeon in 1998 , on the hub in 2013 and on discovery family in 2015 .
the whole cast from the tv series reprise there roles here and they are are really freaking funny in this movie i cannot count how many times i have laughed out loud for me the best actor in this movie is tress macnaill as babs i ' m not just saying that because she ' s my favorite character in the show but tress is really funny .
i watched this movie about 900 times as a kid , but this was legitimately the first time that i had seen this movie in approximately 25 years , and i am relieved to inform you that it ' s still a goddamn delight . ( i realize that my rating is super inflated , and you can remove a star if you weren ' t a fanatic of the original cartoon , but i gotta…
can you believe that it was way back in 2003 that we first reviewed the laserdisc edition of how i spent my vacation , and that even at that point the film had been out on vhs and ld for over a decade ! ? just how long has it taken to reach dvd when it has been repeatedly requested year after year ? well , the answer is here in its 21st anniversary year as the film finally makes it to dvd , hopefully as a way to measure warners’ interest in releasing the concluding episodes of the original tiny toons series ( after an initial two volumes ) to the format .
an expression of that point in long - running television series . that point where the jokes depend almost entirely on older jokes from previous episodes ; on the writers ' and the viewers ' familiarity with characters that were already built to be a little too familiar . ( for all her insistence across tiny toons and animaniacs and pinky and the brain , i don ' t know if elmyra was ever funny - - i ' ll have to rewatch that episode called
grandma ' s dead
. ) also , my lord , the tiny toons theme isn ' t nearly adaptable enough to repeat as often as it does . but
hell is repetition ,
as king wrote , and out of that , how i spent my vacation exhibits a deeper knowledge : if summer break is a respite from the dreaded structure…
all of the tiny toons gang members rush right into the acme looniversity building .
talk about reminiscing the past this is by far one of my most memorable funniest and favorite movies growing up it ' s weird how it seems almost unheard of probably because of it ' s long name which i just found out about .
dying declaration of love : played straight in the tiny toon adventures movie , in which the cast is being pursued on an indiana jones - style minecart ride with a chainsaw wielding psychopath trying to kill them , and babs and buster both confess their feelings for one another .

. it ' s more artistic , if you know what i mean , and . . . how could you ?
how i spent my vacation was released direct - to - video on march 11 , 1992 . the film was released on vhs and laserdisc formats . maccurdy said that the film was released at that time to take advantage of the easter market . because retailers had high demand for the film , warner bros . shipped to them nearly one million copies , which the los angeles times noted as
a record for direct - to - video programs
.
