How I Spent My Summer Vacation

How I Spent My Summer Vacation is a 1989 American traditional-animated adventure comedy film produced by Hughes Entertainment and Viacom Animation. It is directed by Simon Wells (in his directorial debut) and written by John Hughes.

The film's plotline concentrates on Ben (Fred Savage) as he and his parents leave the state of Missouri to visit the town of Chicago, Illinois for the whole entire summer vacation. While his parents are out doing stuff, Ben takes off on an all-out epic journey to experience a vacation of freedom in the big city. After creating all kinds of chaos and mayhem throughout the summer, Ben begins to realize near the end of the season that he and his family might stay in Chicago forever and must accept the ultimate consequence of his actions. In a similar vein to Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ben breaks the fourth wall from time to time to explain to the audience what his inner thoughts are.

Apart from Savage, the film features the voice talents of TBD.

The film was released by Paramount Pictures on March 17, 1989 and became a critical and commercial success. The film continues to be a cult classic and a staple on television during the summer.
