Even though I had heard good things about this film, I didn't expect that much....but was very surprised. It's good, very entertaining and worth watching. The humor is excellent with some very funny things in here and very clever in spots. It helps a lot to know your Looney Tunes characters and it helps a great deal to know your film history. References to old films and characters are everywhere. For that reason, I would recommend this film for classic movie fans. They'll be pleasantly surprised.

On the bad side, I found the film too loud, which is no surprise since cartoons tend to be that way. The loudest may have been Daffy Duck, who is a major player in this film. The female lead, Jenna Elman, is too hard-looking and just not likable to me.

The positives outweigh the negatives, however. If you can put up with the loudness and stupid acting (Steve Martin is brutal here in that regard), you'll still get a ton of laughs out of this movie.

The real fun of this movie is to see if you can catch all the gags in it such as the show frog eating flys and the man sneaking away with him as in the cartoon. I'll have to watch it again to catch them all. It was also fun to see them use stuff from other films and shows such as the Daleks saying "exterminate, exterminate" What a hoot. The movie is so so, good, not great IMNHO and they did give plenty of safe eye candy for the men in the audience.

I really like Jenna Elfman (Kate) as a comedienne. She generally does pretty well. She started off great in Looney Tunes searching for Daffy Duck to get him back to the studio, because her job depended on it. But then the plot morphs into Brendan Fraser (Drake) looking for his father and Elfman becomes simply a spectator in the second half of the movie. She becomes a prop on the set, rather than a character having something to do with the action.

After her trip to Las Vegas in the film, Kate serves pretty much as a prop rather than as a character. She does throw a monkey wrench and puts a piece into a puzzle. But after the trip to Las Vegas, Ms. Elfman is mostly just a prop on the set. When the camera goes to her, she is simply standing there watching at Brendan Fraser (Drake) do his part. Fraser does pretty well. He does act through out, but in the second half of the film Elfman is simply a prop.

I went to see this film as a fan of Ms. Elfman's. I heard Ms. Elfman on TV state that she wanted to do more films with Fraser. That will probably be a good thing. I know she can act as I have seen her in other films doing a great job. I think Elfman & Fraser will make a good pair, but Elfman has got to do more acting and less spectating. The definition of "act" is "do", not "spectate" or "watch".

I give the first half a 7 and the second half a 3 for an average of 5. After the first half I was just hoping it would end.

Daffy Duck finally has enough of playing second fiddle to Bugs Bunny, he quits the Hollywood studio and teams up with Bobby Delmont (Brendan Fraser) an ex-stuntman; together they go on a mission to rescue Damian Drake (Timothy Dalton) a spy who has been captured by the evil chairman of the Acne corporation (Steve Martin)

With strong comic performances from Brendan Fraser, Steve Martin and Jenna Elfman, plus everyone's favourite Looney Tunes, this film is a good laugh for the whole family, and the blend between cartoon and real life is the best i have seen.

7/10

This is one of my greatest guilty pleasures and none of you can take it away from me.

One can always rely on the classic Loony Toon cartoons for impeccable timing. But those artists are dead or gone, and this is what stands in their shoes.

Most gags fall flat. The references are either obscure or heavy handed. Characters appear without justification, as if the director were running down a marketing checklist. The wal-mart placement was too painful for words. The human actors were out of place and poorly directed. The excuse, of course, is that this is a Loony Tune and nothing makes sense.

The movie feels like it was created by a marketing committee. Whoever designed Kate's costumes should be fired. It was a chore to sit through the entire movie.

This is the film that crushed Warner Bros Animation. After the failure of Osmosis Jones, the studio needed just one hit to get themselves back on track. So they decided to do a Looney Tunes movie. Also, because of people's disappointment with Space Jam, they decided to make a better Looney Tunes movie. Unfortunately, it didn't work. This was released in '03, not many people were interested in Looney Tunes anymore. Besides, it had to go up against Finding Nemo.

However, this film has found it's audience on DVD. What do I think of it?

Meh.

Some things are good, like the old school gags, the FX, the animation, Brendan Fraser was good and I like the cartoony look.

Now here are things I hate about it:

-The pacing is TOO FAST! The opening is really hard to take in when the film is moving at 250 mph. SLOW DOWN! It's like Moulin Rogue were everything moves by so fast, you can't follow what's going on.

-Jenna Elfman is TERRIBLE! She doesn't even try to give a good performance. I think she knew this film was going to flop and didn't care.

• Too many jokes are happening at once! It's hard to concentrate on one joke when there's something in the background you're meant to be looking at too. It's like the equivalent of having two friends talk to you at the same time and you don't know which one to talk to.

• Steve Martin is dreadful. I know he's overacting for the sake of being funny. But there's overacting in a good way and there's overacting in a bad way. Sadly this is the latter. I'm surprised him and Jenna didn't get any Razzie Nominations.

-The scene where Ron Perlman gets eaten by Taz and there's just his skeleton left was just too much. Sure, it's done in a non gory way, but....... it's just creepy.

-The Rabbit Season- Duck Season gag has been done a million times. ENOUGH!

Overall, this film is okay. Worth watching if you're a Looney Tunes fan. But maybe if the pacing was slowed down a bit, it would've been better.

Forget "Roger Rabbit", but forget also "Space Jam". It is so sad when three great actors like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Steve Martin blatantly "do it for the > money" (or the carrots, or whatever they pay Daffy with). All three of them do a really poor standard performance... The human villain thinks it's enough to act stupid to look like a cartoon, the two toons seem to justify wooden acting with pretending to be human. A recent Hollywood fashion is an attitude like "Hey, let's get something that worked in the past, cut some stupid expenses like a decent screenwriter, and let's be back in the big bucks again! Just put in some expensive-looking effects and the morons won't notice!" - Matrix 2.1 and 2.2 as a case in point. And the effects are marginally under standard, too. Bottom line, I definitely didn't like it; make it 5/10, and just thanks to the only true professional there: Vile E. Coyote, great as usual (and quoting himself, they pay him WAY too little).

Entertaining film, that takes the style of the old "Looney Tunes" cartoons and has Bugs, Daffy and company interacting with "real actors" such as Brenden Fraser and Jenna Elfman. Benefits mightedly from Joe Dante's satirical touch. An entertianing family film. GRADE: B

Ever since "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" hit theaters in 1988, Hollywood has tried to replicate the formula of placing animated characters in the real world and vice-versa. "Space Jam" was loved when first released but now seems like a feature length commercial for Michael Jordan's career. "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" worked on a spot-the-cameo level but little else. "Cool World" has for the most part blissfully faded from memory.

Then along comes "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" and does the impossible - it manages to be funny, entertaining and lively while still slowing things down at times to be insightful. Loaded with numerous celebrities mugging for the camera, satirical jabs at Hollywood and pop cultural references out the ying-yang, the movie has the true frantic nature of a cartoon.

Daffy Duck (voice of Joe Alaskey) has become fed up by constantly playing second banana to Bugs Bunny (also Alaskey) for the past six decades. He makes an ultimatum - either he gets equal billing and pay alongside Bugs, or he's out of there. Warner Bros. Vice President Kate Houghton (Jenna Elfman) promptly gives the duck the boot, and while vindictively wrecking havoc on the studio lot, Daffy hooks up with ne'er do well security guard D.J. Drake (Brendan Fraser) who happens to be the son of famous movie spy Damian Drake (Timothy Dalton).

D.J. is fired as well for not be able to stop Daffy's rampage, and reluctantly goes home with the duck in tow. However, things go crazy when he discovers that his father really is a spy and has been captured by the evil President of the ACME Corporation (Steve Martin). D.J must take up his father's mission of seeking the Blue Monkey Diamond, a mystical jewel that - like all mystical items in such movies - can be deadly in the wrong hands. Daffy's eyes naturally light up with greed at the sound of the word diamond and joins D.J.

Meanwhile, Kate is facing her own dismissal following less then stellar studio reviews of the latest Bugs cartoon without Daffy, and must track down the duck with Bugs' help to convince him to return. The four unlikely heroes team up to stop ACME, save Damian Drake and patch up Bugs and Daffy's fractured partnership.

A lot of love went into this product and it shows. Some of the best jokes are attacks on numerous sensitivity issues that protest groups have mounted against cartoons in the past few decades. Porky Pig and Speedy Gonzalez lament the effect that political correctness is having on their careers while Daffy is told that his constant complaining makes him appealing only to angry bald men who live in basements.

Sight gags rain in as well, the most memorable being a wonderfully conceived scene in the Louvre Museum in Paris where Elmer Fudd chases Bugs and Daffy in and out of numerous famous paintings like "The Scream" and "Persistence of Memory."

The voice acting here is all near perfect. Alaskey does a much better job imitating Mel Blanc's famous Bugs Bunny voice then Billy West did in "Space Jam." Bugs is still the street smart Brooklyn hustler he has always been, and adds a nice bit of levity to the proceedings.

Daffy is still delightfully conceited and selfish, though in a nice change of pace he is actually allowed to be heroic at some points. Also, it should be noted that while Bugs clearly control every scene he's in, this in indeed Daffy's movie and he carries it well.

Fraser has a strong enough presence to play alongside cartoon characters but doesn't have much to do in the humor department. We're reminded that like in "Dudley Do-Right," Fraser just can't make a character funny without decent lines.

Elfman is also lively but remains wallpaper to her animated co-stars, as she should. Dalton on the other hand manages to be serious and goofy at the same time, and seems to be having a great time spoofing his own James Bond character.

But it's Martin who really puts in a performance here, playing the ACME President with a combination of Jim Carrey's loose-limbed gait and Robin Williams' rapid-fire dialogue. He's a truly unique character for Martin to play, a live action cartoon competing for screen time with Bugs and the others. Martin makes him Dr. Evil as played by Jerry Lewis.

Director Joe Dante films this with the same tongue-in-cheek abandon that he used to bring "Gremlins" and "The Howling" to life. The movie's success owes much to his respect for cartoons, and his desire to undo the harm that "Space Jam" did to the characters is a breath of fresh air.

Along with fellow Warner Bros. characters like Wile E. Coyote, Pepe Le Pew and Sylvester the Cat, the movie also makes room for cameos by wrestler Bill Goldberg, Joan Cusack and even legendary B-movie schlockmeister Roger Corman.

"Looney Tunes: Back in Action" lacks the same originality that made "Roger Rabbit" immortal, but still has the energy and wit to remain memorable for decades to come. The movie twists the legends of the Warner stable while still honoring their personalities, and as such the movie works as both an homage to and a wink-at-the-audience spoof of the classic cartoons. It's a movie even Daffy will love.

Eight out of ten stars. Funny toons makes up for some lifeless actors, and the Looney Tunes legacy is returned to its former glory. Nothing despicable here.

I'm not sure if this was meant to be a live action film with animation or an animated film with live action. This film is kind of a train wreck, the story isn't very good and the acting is terrible. It's easy to see why Brendan Fraser's career has gone down hill, along with Jenna Elfman and sadly, Steve Martin's as well.

The cameos from sports figures like Jeff Gordon didn't really do the film any justice. It's a film that kids won't be able to follow very well, the producers should have made the film completely animated. Unlike Space Jam, Looney Tunes: Back in Action wasn't made with the Looney Tunes in mind. It was more of a money grab!

More than making up for the lame excuse for a film that was the

widely panned "Space Jam", this live-action/animation combination featuring Warner's cartoon characters perfectly

recaptures the classic Looney Tunes' wonderfully nonsensical,

freewheeling spirit. There isn't much in a way of an acceptable or

even decent plot, actually, but don't let that deter you since that's

precisely the reason why any attempt to fit the Looney Tunes gang

into a full-length film would flounder. Instead, director Joe Dante

and writer Larry Doyle erect a perilously teetering scaffold upon

which an insanely huge number of amazingly good sight gags and

verbal puns is set, while at the same time paying some sort of

warped tribute to classic sci-fi B-films of the fifties. The `plot' has

Daffy Duck fired from Warners by executive Jenna Elfman as

outdated, then proceeding to get security guard Brendan Fraser

fired along with him, and both embarking on a nutty drive to Las

Vegas to find the whereabouts of Fraser's dad, film star/spy

Timothy Dalton, eventually uncovering a dastardly conspiracy from

ACME chairman Steve Martin to use the Blue Monkey diamond to

enslave mankind. Of course it doesn't make sense, and that's fine

-- it's not meant to. You may point out that the live action/animation

combination doesn't always work, that the live actors never reach

the manic intensity of the cartoon characters (except for Joan

Cusack's wonderfully, ahem, daffy cameo), but really, that's beside

the point when the gratuitously violent and deliriously politically

incorrect free-for-all of the original cartoons is so perfectly

duplicated here.

When the Warner Bros company studio in Hollywood announces a "Bugs Bunny: The Movie" starring the world's greatest cartoon characters, Daffy Duck doesn't like his roles and quits his Hollywood acting job . On the way he meets Kate Houghhton (Jenna Elfman) ,a studio exec powerful enough to send Daffy packing and recently fired security guard stuntman (Brendan Fraser) who's acting in Hollywood while his father has mysteriously gone missing . So the world's greatest cartoon characters team up with him and and go on a top secret mission quest to track his missing daddy . All of them are relentlessly pursued by the nefarious Mr. Chairman (Steve Martin giving a cosmically unfunny turn). The action boomerangs throughout Las Vegas , Paris , Africa , outer space , as Daffy hunts for the Blue Monkey diamond with superspy father and the planet's future hangs in the balance. Make Learning Exciting & Entertaining!.Step right up and come on in; here's where the fun begins !. Real life has never been so animated !How do they solve a mystery when they don't have a clue?.The biggest animated adventure ever to hit real life !

The ¨Piranha¨ filmmaker Joe Dante is a true mischief-maker ready to subvert corporate Hollywood chores , this time with the Looney Tunes search for a man's missing father and the mythical Blue Monkey diamond. Dante is an expert on frolics as well as jokes and his prospect gets his mitts on Bunny ans Daffy Duck , being Chuck Jones probably his biggest influence . Although , it contains some disappointings and the formula doesn't work at all and it never really gels . It packs some some inspired sequences to restore the flagging spirits such as Area 52 scenes and at the Louvre when the cartoons running into famous pictures from Salvador Dali, Munch , Manet , Toulouse Lautrec , among others. Mixing live action in Gremlins style with animation in the manner of Who framed to Roger Rabbit ? , the film kicks on the Warner Bros lot with two sympathetic protagonists as Brendan Fraser as is a lowly security guard and Jenna Elfman as a powerful studio exec along with the long team of Looney Tunes including the following ones : Bugs Bunny , Daffy Duck , Granny, Tweety Bird , Beaky Buzzard, Sylvester , Mama Bear Marvin the Martian , Speedy Gonzalez , Pepe Le Pew , Elmer, Porky Pig and special apperance of Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. The story is nothing more than a fleeble excuse to string together gags , silly sketches and several animated cameos , fast-paced set pieces . Dante is surely right to let his visual imagination run riot , but the scattershot Looney Tunes movement doesn't easily stretch to feature length and our starring and co-stars don't generate too much sympathy.

This watchable enough motion picture was regular but professionally directed by Joe Dante and Eric Goldberg, displaying their characteristic surreal wit and sense of amusement. Dante's most hits took place when found himself working alongside Steven Spielberg, John Landis and Australian director George Miller for the anthology movie ¨The Twilight Zone, The Movie¨ (1983) in which Dante directed the third segment .Steven Spielberg then hired him to work as director for ¨Gremlins¨ (1984) which was another box-office success. He directed some episodes for the Sci-Fi series "Amazing Stories" before directing his next Science Fiction feature which was ¨Innerspace¨ (1987) which, whilst critically well reviewed, was another box office failure. After directing five episodes of "Eerie, Indiana", Dante returned to the big-screen with the well-received ¨Matinee¨ (1993), an affectionate period satire set in 1962 against the background of the Cold War. Dante spent the next several years working for television and directed a satire on politics with ¨The Second Civil War¨ (1997). Dante's next two films, ¨Small Soldiers¨ (1998), and ¨Looney Toons: Back in Action¨ (2004) garnered good reviews but were not commercial hits. Rating : 6/10 . Only for Warner Bros Looney Tunes fans.

I'm a big fan of the Looney Tunes, I always have been and always will be. I like all the 5-minute cartoons with Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner & Wile E. Coyote, ... which I grew up with, but I find it too bad that in recent years, they only appear in movies in which they have to co-star with human actors. It just isn't the same anymore.

This time Daffy Duck is more than fed up with the fact that Bugs Bunny once again gets all the attention. He has had it with Hollywood and even gets fired by Warner Bros. He decides that from now on he'll live with the recently fired stuntman Damien Drake Jr., whose father got kidnapped. So together with Bugs Bunny, Damien and Jenna Elfman, the woman who fired him, he embarks on a round-the-world adventure to find Damien's father and the missing blue diamond... They will have to stay one step ahead of The Acme Corp., who wants the diamond for their own evil purposes.

For me personally, the real stars in this movie were the Looney Tunes. The actors weren't always very convincing and especially Steve Martin as the chairman of the Acme Corp. was clearly intended for the kids only. As I already said before, it's a shame that the Looney Tunes no longer get a movie of their own, without human competitors. Nevertheless this is an enjoyable movie for the entire family that is certainly worth a watch. I give it a 7/10.

This movie is just another example of a loveless attempt to cash in on a successful trademark. It is simply a crude collage of recycled gags from the old looney tunes cartoons and maybe hundreds of other movies without a spark of originality (e.g., the light swords of Star Wars are quoted for the hundredth time, who can call this "intellectual"?). Even technically, the movie is weak. Mediocre actors are overcharged with imagining the later inserted animated characters (just look at Jenna Elfman holding Duffy Duck in the first scene). It is by far more rewarding to watch the old "Looney Tunes" cartoons (Tex Avery, Chuck Jones's Wile E. Coyote, ...), or "Who framed Roger Rabbit" (so far, the masterpiece in the mixture of life action and animation), or some episodes of "The Simpsons" (to see how one can cleverly quote other movies - not just for hiding one's lack of imagination). Well, the fact that the theater was empty at a Sunday afternoon during the first week of the movie's screening and that even the kids stopped laughing after a few minutes is the only hope that this kind of movie will not be repeated too many times.

Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi with my daughter. The storyline follows an unlikely pairing of a man in search of his long lost father who worked on unique science artifacts and the Muppets who are in search of a Blue Monkey Diamond. Working together they think they can solve each other's goals; unfortunately for them, another evil diabolical scientist will stop at every turn to foil their plans. This movie is directed by Joe Dante (Grenlins) and stars Brendan Fraser (The Mummy), Steve Martin (Three Amigos), Joan Cusack (Working Girl), Heather Locklear (The Return of Swamp Thing) and Jenna Elfman (Friends with Benefits). The storyline for this picture was just okay but the characters and settings were great. I loved Las Vegas, especially Sam's Casino. The cast was really well selected and I enjoyed Steve Martin as the villain. The "Illegal aliens" were awesome and the animation quality was better than Space Jam to me. I would say this was about as good as Space Jam 2. I'd score this a 6-6.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

This one of the worst animated movies ever made, why?: Because of EVERYTHING! I don't know what the hell is happening in Shawn Watson's head, who commented about this film and said that this was the best movie ever made (maybe because he is a kid and he doesn't really know how to rate a film.

Let me remind him that there are many things that make a good comedy film: FIRST THE STORY: What was the point of the story in this movie, to get the blue monkey?, that's not a story, a good example for this is Tootsie.

THE JOKES: The jokes on this film were so stupid, I don't know how people like this film.

In conclusion: I recommend you to watch other kind of movies, don't waste your money in this like me, I'm WARNING YOU!

Could've been entertaining. Using Who Framed Roger Rabbit as a yardstick, Looney Tunes: Back in Action doesn't measure up.

Cartoon characters are included, or 'thrown in', for the heck of it. Just as some science fiction films rely on special effects to carry them through, this one tries to do the same with the live/animated mix. It didn't succeed at much of anything for me. I didn't care about the live characters, or the animated ones.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a tight, well executed story -- told well with the blending of live actors and animated ones. Not once in that film did I have the impression the actors weren't really interacting with the characters. In this film, there was always the impression actors were trying to hit their marks to make things easy for the animators.

Maybe next time...

What a fever dream. I hadn't seen this since I was very young, perhaps in theatres. Still, stuff subsisted. The synapses were triggered; the nostalgia revved up.

And what I experienced was a really fantastic first half of a film. Unfortunately it doesn't really go anywhere, with half its cast losing agency towards its rather choppy ending.

Brendan Fraser is iconic as Brendan Fraser's stuntman (I suspect the role came after the casting for some reason). He really makes the cartoon characters feel like they have a presence.

I did grow up watching Looney Tunes whenever it was on TV, here and there. Most of the appearances within this film evoked a sense of recognition visually, though I had forgotten most of their names. It seems as if it's a dying brand. I only found out there was a new LT film this year after it had been flopping in theatres for weeks. Warner Bros. Are just awful at the moment, and I'm still recovering from House of the Dragon's truncated second season. I'm rambling. This review is all over the place. But, so is the film, so it's apt and definitely intentional (I have forgotten where thee baxckspace - the backspace - button is and I cannot be stopped).

Still, there's a lot of charm and a few fantastic sequences throughout 'Back in Action'. One scene where they are chasing each other through paintings is absolutely brilliant.

On a technical level, it still holds up. The actors all believably interact with cartoons, and the hand drawn animation is a treat.

I just wish they worked on that second half a little bit more. Worth revisiting for sure though.

I first heard of this movie that combines animation and live-action when I saw it in the movie theater with my family when I was in Elementary School once, and ever since I saw it on the big screen I always thought "What an utterly horrible film this was"! I tried the movie again on Netflix in high school, and I still think the same thing to this day.

Pretty much all I can say about this movie is that it is ABSOLUTELY NOT worth watching. Even if you're a big fan of Bugs Bunny as I am, I definitely recommend you PRETEND THIS FILM WAS NEVER EVEN MADE, because all of the iconic Looney Tunes characters were animated by computer instead of by hand. I especially also dislike the acting of Brendan Fraser, even with the way his character in here was very firm.

Skip this Looney Tunes movie, and if you want to watch a full-length Bugs Bunny film see "Space Jam" with Michael Jordan, or even better than that, the critically-acclaimed hit animation and live-action cinematic success "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" because that one will definitely put a smile on your face. If Mel Blanc saw this one, he'd for sure be very disappointed with his famous animated character creations like Bugs Bunny, so I definitely imagine he's spinning in his grave because of this terrible film that should be extinct.
