The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024)
Looney Tunes’ first animated character, Porky Pig, turned 90 this year! To celebrate, Warner Bros. and Ketchup Entertainment bring us the first fully animated feature-length film in Looney Tunes history: The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie!
The hand-drawn 2D animated adventure stars one of the greatest comedic duos in history, Porky Pig and Daffy Duck, who become 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!)... if they don’t drive each other totally looney in the process.
The movie has an 88% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus says, “Restoring much of Looney Tunes' quintessential charm with a daffy dose of high energy and inventive gags, The Day the Earth Blew Up goes to show that these iconic characters remain evergreen fun.”
Common Sense Media recommends the movie for ages 7+.
