Warner Bros. may have slammed the brakes on Coyote vs. Acme and kicked it down a deep chasm, probably never to be seen again, but fans of the Looney Tunes do have one big screen adventure still to look forward to after the Discovery content purge…. assuming the once-Max Original The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie has been picked up for distribution in your territory after being shopped around to alternate buyers by the studio.
Coinciding with its world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival yesterday, we have a look at the first clip from the traditional hand-drawn animated feature, which sees Porky Pig and Daffy Duck haphazardly attempting to fix up their home ahead of its inspection; watch it below…
From Warner Bros. Animation, director Pete Browngardt, and the creative team behind the award-winning Looney Tunes Cartoons, The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie stars Porky Pig and Daffy Duck as unlikely heroes and Earth’s only hope when facing the threat of alien invasion. The movie unfolds a rich Porky & Daffy story that fans have never seen before: In this buddy-comedy of epic proportions, our heroes race to save the world, delivering all the laugh-out-loud gags and vibrant visuals that have made the Looney Tunes so iconic, but on a scope and scale yet to be experienced.
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie is still looking for U.S. distribution, but will begin an international roll out in Germany and Switzerland from August 1st.
