    The Proof there's still Heart in being Looney (actual vote should be 7 1/2)

    I write this review from Italy, where the movie was released on November 7th.

    I was pretty curious to check it out for all the various reasons many others had already expressed.

    And once I ended watching it all I could think was ... Finally They Made It!

    Finally they realized a REAL movie in which these characters can show all of their crazy traits in the more genuine way.

    The result is a great balance between this more Classic aura (in more senses than you could think) and the more Modern setting.

    First of All, the thing I'm sure everyone will agree on: it was so satisfying seeing 2D being used again in a large production, and in a so fluid way that perfectly serves the characters' expressiveness and dynamism, and all of the settings' dimensions.

    And speaking of characters, I appreciated the idea of centering it about Porky and Daffy, they're simply the best duo of the Tunes' lot, even though I have to admit I do prefer the Chuck Jones' version of the duck, the more greedy and egotistical one, rather than the complete lunatic one, but it does serve well his job here, so I can't complain.

    Porky is just Porky, but he too does pretty well, and I liked the use of Petunia, she was really entertaining in her on way, and her design was really loveable.

    The Alien invader too had his moments, his design is maybe simple but pretty efficient, it clearly pays homage to the classic Sci-Fi movies of the 40's, just like the rest of the movie does.

    And the thing about the mind-controlling Gum gives life to some images that managed to be both funny and hideous.

    So, all in all, a perfect Looney Tunes plot, that to many though may come out as too simple or void of any originality, and while I do agree that they could've been a bit more ambitious in terms of the plot, and that some of the gags don't really work out, I also think that all in all you should take this as a sincere Love Letter to the characters and their legacy, a good way to introduce them to new audiences, and to remember to old fans that this is N-N-N-Not All Folks, yet!

    Amazing and triumphant return of 2D animation on the big screen!

    I went and saw this in theaters expecting it to be good, it ended up being GREAT! The jokes had me laughing it up, the animation is great as it is nearly 100% hand drawn meaning lots of hard work went into it! And it shows. The story is great despite what you might think from looking at it, it ends up using the characters to their near fullest and it works amazingly and surprisingly well.

    The music, and the sounds are well made, even better than most movies on streaming. Some jokes even some of us adults can enjoy! If you are just looking for a great movie to watch, this movie is just right, especially if you're a Looney Tunes fan. This movie is great for both Adults and even Children. Please do watch, and remember... Animation, is not just for kids!

    Duck Amuck III

    Looney Tunes is one of the most iconic animated brands in entertainment history. Parents likely know and adore Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Marvin the Martian, Wile E. Coyote, Roadrunner, Elmer Fudd, and Foghorn Leghorn, among other legendary characters from the franchise's vast catalog. Unfortunately, today's youth may not have Looney Tunes in their childhoods. My biggest fear is that this film may be the last we see of these icons. How Warner Bros. Discovery has been handling the property - and animation in general, but for this review, I'll exclusively focus on Looney Tunes - is nothing short of disgraceful. I may be anticipating numerous films from their upcoming slate, such as "A Minecraft Movie," "Sinners," "Final Destination: Bloodlines," and "Superman." However, there's no way to overlook their attempt to bury this Looney universe. If it isn't the infamous tax write-offs of projects "Bye Bye Bunny" and "Coyote vs. Acme," it's the complete removal of every Golden Age short. They kept their early efforts, but even as a kid, I focused on everything from the 1950s onward, including my favorite, "Duck Amuck," if you couldn't tell from the title. (UPDATE: I was looking on Max for verification, and they have some Golden Age shorts back, but not all of them. As of 2025, "The Looney Tunes Show" show from the last decade is gone. Okay. I'm still frustrated at WB for not extending a licensing agreement with themselves that gave them the rights to the shorts. "Duck Amuck" is still stuck in the pit of licensing hell, so I'm not accepting their half-hearted attempt at an unofficial apology) As much as I hate "Space Jam: A New Legacy," I don't attribute that to the brand's current situation. That happened way before the current circumstances. Let me go back to this fantastic adventure before discussing why the high praise. WB isn't distributing the movie themselves. Instead, they gave those rights to Ketchup Entertainment. It's no disrespect to them, but I don't feel they have enough name power to handle a film of this caliber. If Briarcliff can't make the must-watch "My Dead Friend Zoe" at least profitable enough to make the Top 10 Box Office on its debut, what hope does "The Day the Earth Blew Up" have? I'm being overdramatic. I want this film to make the Top 10, and below is why, but more importantly, show why Looney Tunes has stood the test of time. Let go of your disappointment from the Space Jam sequel and support this 2D pleaser. If your priority is elsewhere, do a double-feature after you get out of "Novocaine," "Black Bag," or, less likely, "Opus." If this film flops, we may dress up for a funeral of childhood memories in record time. By the end of this ride, I almost teared up, not only because of what was occurring in the movie but because this may be my only time seeing these guys on the big screen. If you're a Looney Tunes fan or a fan of animation, support this flick.

    Okay. Let me get back on track and discuss "The Day the Earth Blew Up" now.

    First, the animation was stellar. It resembles the style of old-school Looney Tunes cartoons while achieving the feat of not being a direct replica.

    The voice acting was also top-notch. Looking at who did the voices just now, did you know that Eric Bauza did the voices of both Daffy Duck and Porky Pig? Admittedly, beyond "A New Legacy," I haven't seen much new from this universe. Either way, Bauza's performance can't be understated, helping to create a believable dynamic between Daffy and Porky. Additionally, he's been playing the Duck and other Looney characters for years, so thank you, Bauza, for your involvement in this franchise. The other voice actors did exceptionally, with the other standout being Candi Milo as Petunia Pig.

    The comedy's priceless, too. Like the animation, it has the spark of the franchise's Golden era, and I was highly entertained and nostalgic without it being nostalgia bait. It has more writers than "Captain America: Brave New World," but I'm giving them all credit anyway. Alex Kirwan, Andrew Dickman, Darrick Bachman, David Gemmill, Eddie Trigueros, Jason Reichmer, Johnny Ryan, Kevin Costello, Michael Ruocco, Peter Browngardt, and Ryan Kramer, you all killed it, not only with the comedy but the genuinely investing story. Browngardt deserves added attention for his directing, voice acting, producing, and character layout, as well as for his massive involvement with the franchise alongside Bauza, Dickman, Gemmill, Kirwan, Kramer, Ruocco, Ryan, and Trigueros.

    All the above elements didn't forget to be Looney. Once again, it feels like old-school Looney Tunes, which I love. It's as simple as that: a Looney time at the movies that's never bad. It ceases to be too juvenile, making for pure family fun!

    Technically, the voice acting, directing, 11-man screenplay, and outstanding animation make for a 10/10 technical score.

    The enjoyment score may be biased since I grew up with Looney Tunes, but it's a project that honors its legacy, so it doesn't matter. "The Day the Earth Blew Up" is one of the effortless 10/10 enjoyment scores I've ever given, further proof that this franchise deserves better. It's a must-watch worth the theatrical experience!

    Keep making more of these

    I thought this was great, I loved being able to see a looney tunes movie in 2025! Don't stop with this idea, pump it out for all it's worth! Many of us still love looney toones! I loved how much adult humor there was, I was busting up laughing. Can't really be negative about the plot, because you have to know what you're watching. It was charming and cute and they are everything you remember. I went in not sure howbi would feel, and i left with a big smile on my face. Admittedly I went to paddington in peru after this movie, and that movie probably seemed worse to me because this was so great.

    Watched at AMC on 3-18-2025.

    Very enjoyable feature length animation.

    I'm not the biggest Looney Tunes fan but this movie was great. I loved the classic painted backgrounds & clean look of the animation it reminded me of the old Ren & Stimpy cartoons. The main storyline was witty and worked well with the main characters of Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. There was also a cool twist at the end of the film that made you root for the characters even more. Honestly I hope that Looney Tunes releases more feature lengths like this one because everything was top quality and I'd recommend it to anybody who is a fan of animated movies and it will resonate with all ages in my opinion. Solid 8/10 stars I'd definitely watch it again in the future.
