comment |
The D.A.R.E. Report: The Land of Decisions and Choices is a 1993 drug abuse educational animated video produced by D.A.R.E.note Drug Abuse Resistance and Education. It features four pre-teen kids that are working on a report about drug abuse and resistance for the D.A.R.E. program. But things go awry on the way to school when Officer D.A.R.E.'s puppy swipes the backpack containing said report, and the kids end up chasing him into the titular (and very surreal) Land of Decisions and Choices, where a drug dealer named Iggy and his kid Bumbling Sidekick Benny attempt to push drugs like cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, marijuana and cocaine to the four preteens while dressed like a rabbit and a bee, respectively. It is here that the kids' learned knowledge about drugs is put to the test...It stars Pamela Adlon, Greg Burson, Dana Hill, Robinette Lloyd, and Theresa Smythe. It was unavailable in English for many years until late 2018, when it resurfaced on YouTube. |

comment |
Keystone Army: When the kids pull the giant "Power" plug at the end, all of the anthropomorphic drugs are defeated: the joint is Reduced to Dust, the alcohol bottles all shatter, the cigarettes are stamped out in a giant ashtray, and a wall falls and crushes the pills, needle, and LSD stamp. |

comment |
The Aggressive Drug Dealer: Iggy starts out as an aversion to this, acting really friendly to the kids, until near the end when he begins to get like this, especially when he begins to advance on Benny and the other kids in an alleyway with living anthropomorphic hard drugs. |

Smoking Is Cool |
| | The D.A.R.E. Report: The Land of Decisions and Choices / int_596f675a |
comment |
Smoking Is Cool: Iggy tries to present this to the kids, featuring smoking characters like "Nicotina" (a beautiful woman smoking from a long cigarette holder), "Smokin' Jim" (an Expy of the Marlboro Man) and "Cool Rex" (a cigarette-smoking dinosaur who is an Expy of Joe Camel). But when Nicotina gets close and speaks, she suddenly gets hideous-looking, and Tommy considers trying a cigarette until his friend discourages him and explains the truth and dangers of tobacco, and even Benny starts to realize that Smoking Is Not Cool. |

Expressive Mask |
| | The D.A.R.E. Report: The Land of Decisions and Choices / int_6a643799 |
comment |
Expressive Mask: The attached mask on Iggy's rabbit costume is very expressive with Iggy's real face, complete with moving mouth and eyelids, and even has similar facial features to Iggy's true face, at least if he really were a rabbit. It even gives Iggy buck teeth. Though this may be due to the Deranged Animation throughout the video. |

Full-Body Disguise: Iggy's full-body rabbit costume that completely covers him from head to toe. After he puts it on after his introduction, Iggy doesn't take it off until near his defeat when he removes the attached mask. Benny's bee costume, however, shows his true face and arms. |

What Happened to the Mouse?: The kids pull the giant "Power" plug, and all of the Anthropomorphic Vices are destroyed. The video then cuts to the kids presenting their D.A.R.E. report in class, then it cuts to credits. We never learn what becomes of Iggy. |

Animate Inanimate Object: The Land of Decisions and Choices is also the home of large anthropomorphic cigarettes, beer and liquor bottles, an Ursula-esque joint, a glue tube (for sniffing glue), a postage stamp (when referencing acid/LSD), and a heroin needle. It's quite surreal. |

No Name Given: We never learn the names of the male black friend to Tommy, or the girl with the brown hair. Only Tommy (the Asian boy with the bowl cut) and Lisa (the girl with blonde pigtails) are given names out of the group of kids, alongside Iggy (the drug dealer) and Benny (his kid assistant.) |
