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.

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.

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 loved the expressiveness of the characters and the fluidity of the animation. However, some of the writing felt a bit stale and scattered. Since this is a movie geared toward children (like most Warner Brothers movies I know of), I'm pretty sure they will enjoy it. Kids were clearly the main focus, so more power to them. For parents, teens, or just adults in general-not so much. There were too many moments that oozed cringe, tropes repeated time and again, and other scenes that felt plain annoying or predictable. The only moment that caught me off guard was the main "antagonist," though even that felt more random than humorous.
Again, this is a kid's movie, but some children around age 10 might not find it laughable. Of course, this is all a matter of personal taste, but I enjoy it when animated films give backstories to their villains or provide motivations that make me care. It would have been better if the characters pursued their goals with more heart, rather than trying (and failing) to be comedic. A balance could have been struck, but this movie clearly missed it.

Full Title : A Honest Review on The Day The Earth Blew Up : A Looney Tunes Movie, Warner Bros First Ever 2D Animated Theatrical Looney Tunes Film from an Non-Looney Tunes Fan.
Well..Warner Bros decide to not make a stupid decision for once, instead of keep their first animated theatrical release looney tunes movie shelved forever or cancelled they release their animated film on the big screen ...that's surprising if i'm gonna be totally honest here.
Okay so i watch that movie yesterday along with Joker 2 Folie a Deux (which i will talk about that movie in a different post) and i have some thoughts on it.
Before i begin the review, some things first :
For those who don't know, I'm Not a Looney Tunes Fan, never was and never will be. I was never a fan of Looney Tunes throughout my life because the large majority of the characters are annoying and unfunny (especially the popular ones) and their humor is lazy, uncreative, repetitive and pure cringe for a large of the time, very rarely i found a short from the looney tunes library that i actually like and made laugh, a consider the looney tunes cartoons the most overrated cartoons ever that don't deserve their popularity and i hate the looney tunes and cartoon communities/fanbases that over praise these cartoons when there are tones of other cartoons that deserve it and get butthurt if someone hates and criticise looney tunes for legit reasons which this leads to them having huge bias and double standards.
So yeah, don't act surprised when i fight back to you if you gonna be a jackass to me, telling me that i have no childhood and/or no good taste in humor just because i dare to not like a popular cartoon that i found very overrated and not funny.
However Considering that this is Warner Bros First Ever Animated Looney Tunes Film on the Big Screen (very depressing and confusing that the looney tunes didn't have a animated theatrical release movie for over a century, like what Warner Bros were doing the hull time?) i'm willing to give it a chance.
I will talk about the Pros and the Cons of this movie.
Also This is a Non-Spoiler Review, so i won't spoil major events of this movie.
So...what do i think of this movie?....it's Fine....it's surely not the best from the looney tunes but definitely not the absolute worst i have seen.
Let's start off with positives, Pros.
Voice Acting : The thing that the Looney tunes are mostly consistent about is the voice acting, all the voice actors/actress were on point & the match the tone of the emotions of the characters, Eric Bauza is perfect as Daffy and match the tone how crazy this character is, as a example.
Animation : What can i say, the animation was beautiful, fluent, fast and crazy, it's good to see traditional 2d animation on the big screen, When Porky and Petunia go out and fought the mind control people is where animation goes nuts.
Comedy : There are times when the movie made laugh especially when they failed at every job they get at the beginning of the movie.
Now with the Cons.
The Rest of the Comedy : There's are sadly times when the movie made me cringe and didn't found funny, when Daffy freakout about the gums is a perfect example i know that he supposed to be unreasonable and consume with madness but it came across very cringe and unfunny to look at and i didn't found funny Petunia's running gag of taste everything to find a new flavor for the gum factory (especially the sponge scene was just stupid) that made Petunia looks very idiotic for all the wrong reasons, what's next Petunia you gonna taste literal poison to find the flavour you want?
The Sad Scenes : When the movie goes emotional is so goddamn cringe and stupid, I get what they try to do but it's get to the point that i'm waiting something or someone to stop this nonsense and point out how stupid and cringe it is, i thought i'm watching a comedy cartoon about a crazy duck and pig doing not Saving Private Ryan, Looney tunes aren't deep guys.
The Twist : I'm not gonna say what happen the only thing i can said is that was so baffling stupid and nonsensical that didn't make any sense from the story reprective.
This was my reactions to that : WTF?
So over all, it was a experience watching this movie.
I am disappointing for some the choices the filmmaker makes about the comedy and story but it could have been a lot worse.
For their first ever animated theatrical release looney tunes movie it was fine, it is surely way better than the live action looney tunes movies that's for sure but it's not a movie that i will go back and watch again.
I'm hoping the next they will make (if they even make another one) will be even better.
Rating : 6 of 10.

This movie is a non-stop firework of high quality gags, which are original and not foreseeable. The animation is top notch and nails the classic Looney Tunes style.
Me and my friend, who saw it with me, both agreed, that we never thought that we'll ever see a movie like this again in our lifetime. We could not stop laughing - easily one of the best cinematic experiences we had in years.
I am convinced that this movie will become a cult classic over the years, even if it bombs when it's eventually released in the US.
It is a miracle Warner Bros greenlit a project like this and even if it is highly unlikely that it will get a sequel, we are more than happy that this gem of a movie is reality now.
So if you like Looney Tunes, go see it asap!

This movie proves that not every theatrical looney tunes movie needs every looney tunes character or a live action actor interacting with them like space jam it could be just two pigs and a duck saving lives, the Voice acting is so great props to Eric bauza candi milo Peter macnicol and the rest and having the daughter of classic looney tunes director Bob clampett Ruth clampett is actually insane! And the animation of the film is SO smooth the animation Studios that worked on the film tonic DNA (the most obvious one that if you're talking about the animation of the film) snipple animation, titmouse canada, and Dinamita animacion. And of course you can't talk about looney tunes without talking about the music, after all It is called "looney TUNES" not "looney toons" (only idiots call It that) Joshua moshier the carl stalling of the movie and looney tunes cartoons is incredble and Josh is mostly a jazz musician he is an amazing conductor and composer, even having a few references of the most overhated era of looney tunes (take a small guess) and the movie's so funny, cute, serious, sad, and scary! The movie is so great it's Definitely a 10/10 for me! "That's all, fo-(i'm not gonna say that)
