2025 Catch Up: The Day The Earth Blew Up- A Looney Tunes Movie

 A Film that Warner Bros made and then didn't feel like releasing.

In 2025, it finally got released in Theaters and later on Streaming.

Now that it has a UK Release, I've got a Screener to check out...

This is an Origin Story for Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.

In this one, they are raised together by this big old Farmer.

One day, when they are adults, he leaves them to take care of themselves.

As you can see, things are going great!

When an Alien crashes to the Earth, it wrecks their roof and takes over a Scientist.

Now the duo have to fix the roof or be evicted.

Things look up when they meet a new friend, who just happens to work at the Gum Factory in Town.
The job goes well until Daffy sees the Scientist, who is now basically a living zombie.

He sees him put something in the gum and freaks out.

Being Daffy, well, nobody believes him...when they should.
They get help from Penelope and isolate a sample.

It goes...well, I won't SPOIL how it goes.

Sufficed to say, they now know that there's a real threat!
To save the day, they must free the townspeople, stop the Alien and save the Earth itself.

I'm sure they've got this.
Right?

To see how it goes, check it out in Theaters or Stream it on my side of the pond.
A fun, refreshing Film that makes a good use of the Looney Tunes.

This one was a bold pick for a number of reasons.

No Bugs Bunny.
A Sci-Fi Plot.
A Theatrical Release.

By making this one a Buddy Film with Daffy and Porky, it really benefits.  As an ensemble picture, it would mean less time for the growth and less moments for each character.

Said Characters are fun to watch and you empathize with them both.

Peter MacNicol is also great as the Alien.  He has such a great voice for Animation and really goes all out.

The Film goes hard sci-fi in many ways and does feature some scares.  It is still, ultimately, a Looney Tunes Adventure and one I hope that we get more of.

Now open wide...

A fun Film that is a great return to Looney Tunes Animation made for the big screen.  Hopefully, this teaches WB some sort of lesson.
