The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Moviehas recently released a new trailer that serves as both a reminder thatLooney Tunesstill have the potential to dominate the big screen and the lost potential that wasCoyote vs Acme. TheLooney Tuneshave recently re-entered the public mind with the intense discourse surroundingCoyote vs. Acme; Warner Bros. Discovery shelved the film directed by Dave Green as part of a tax write-off. The aforementioned process ended with the film no longer being able to be released despite being completely finished.
Thankfully,The Day the Earth Blew Upwas acquired by Ketchup Entertainment, allowing the Warner Bros. animation-produced film to see the light of day. The film premiered at the Annecy Animation Film Festival torave reviews and reactions, further justifying the purchase of the movie. Moreover, the animated feature is set to go on an Oscar-qualifying limited theatrical release that will give even more attention to the project.
The cast ofThe Day the Earth Blew Upincludes Peter MacNicol, Fred Tatasciore, Eric Bauza, Candi Milo, April Winchell, and Jeff Bergman.Check out the film’s official synopsis:
“Porky Pig and Daffy Duck venture to the big screen as unlikely heroes and Earth’s only hope when their antics at the local bubble gum factory uncover a secret alien mind control plot. Faced with cosmic odds, the two are determined to save their town (and the world!)… that is if they don’t drive each other totally looney in the process.”
‘The Day The Earth Blew Up’ Is A Reminder of What Could Have Been
While theLooney Tuneshave made plenty of waves in the television landscape,The Day the Earth Blew Upwill be the first fully animated feature-lengthLooney Tunesfilm. There have been live-action hybrid movies likethe shelvedCoyote vs. Acme,Looney Tunes: Back in Action, and theSpace Jammovies, but an animated project of this caliber produced by Warner Bros. Animation with a theatrical release is entirely new territory, making it feel even more remarkable considering there was a chance this could not have been released either.

Director Peter Browngardt discusses the first theatrical feature film wholly devoted to the animated Looney Tunes universe.
What’s even more interesting about the film is the choice of its leads, with Daffy Duck and Porky Pig being the main characters. While some would expect that the firstLooney Tunesanimated movie would feature mascot Bugs Bunny at the center,The Day the Earth Blew Upopts instead to have two unconventional leads who couldn’t be more different in their temperaments and humor, making the movie even more unique in thecatalog ofLooney Tunesstories and characters.
From this latest trailer and a sneak preview released earlier this year,The Day the Earth Blew Uplooks to stand out in the sea of animated projects being released. With its classic 2D style and timeless slapstick humor that has been infused with a modern touch, there’s plenty to look forward to when the film releases early next year. WhileCoyote vs Acmemay have been lost to us,The Day the Earth Blew Upwill live on in its memory as a sign of the enduring legacy of these characters and their looney world.
