Looney Tunes Return to Big Screen with Sci-Fi Horror Comedy

The Day the Earth Blew Up blends classic slapstick with body horror in the franchise's first fully animated feature-length film.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie focuses on Daffy Duck and Porky Pig as they uncover an alien conspiracy to take over their town using mind-controlling bubblegum.
The film marks the first-ever fully animated feature-length Looney Tunes movie created for theatrical release, following years of delays and a change in distributors to Ketchup Entertainment.
Critics praise the movie for its mix of classic Looney Tunes humor and unexpected homages to 1980s body horror, including nods to John Carpenter's The Thing.
The story centers on Daffy and Porky's comedic yet heartfelt journey to save their childhood home, with a focus on their dynamic relationship rather than relying on the broader Looney Tunes ensemble.
The movie has been lauded for its vibrant 2D animation and its ability to modernize the Looney Tunes legacy while staying true to the franchise's roots in exaggerated slapstick and surreal storytelling.
