The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie

Feels like a good toe-dip back into theatrical 2D animation. It's no blockbuster but it's a nice looking 2D animated movie in theaters in 2025. I'll take it. Good voices, good and great animation, beautiful painted backgrounds, fun music and sight gags that call back to classic Looney Tunes...The story is a little strange and feels a tad restricted, but thems the ropes. Lotta talented names in the credits so it was good to see that people got work. Kids will enjoy the colors, low brow humor and characters while adults will enjoy most of those three things but also the nostalgia and artistry on all fronts that went into making this. Long live 2D animation!

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!

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!

I really liked the movie. The story is a bit, well, crazy, but what else would you expect from the Looney Tunes, but Daffy Duck and Porky Pig works as a movie. However, I have to say that the action was very exaggerated. Sure, we're talking about the Looney Tunes here, especially Daffy Duck, but still. Then the joke fell a bit short for me. There were some funny moments, no question, but this appropriate wit and humor, that defines the Looney Tunes, was either missing or rare. But otherwise I can recommend the movie for an hand drawn animated movie in modern times.

This review comes from Germany, where the movie has already released.

When I heard there was a horror-comedy involving Looney Tunes and an alien invasion, I thought it would be either brilliant or a total mess. Luckily, it turned out to be the former. This film is wild, ridiculous, and surprisingly terrifying. Watching Daffy Duck and Porky Pig try to save the Earth from mind-controlling bubblegum was both hilarious and genuinely unsettling. There were scenes where the body-horror elements made me squirm, especially when characters turned into alien zombies. What impressed me was how well it balanced humor with horror-it never felt too silly or too dark. It's a clever homage to 80s horror classics while still being unmistakably Looney Tunes. Honestly, it's one of the weirdest and most creative films I've seen in a while.
