Looney Tunes Return to the Big Screen with 'The Day the Earth Blew Up'

The first-ever feature-length Looney Tunes movie brings hand-drawn animation back to theaters on March 14.

Directed by Pete Browngardt, 'The Day the Earth Blew Up' is the first fully hand-drawn American animated feature since 2009's 'The Princess and the Frog.'
The film stars Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, voiced by Eric Bauza, as they navigate an absurd alien invasion plot alongside Petunia Pig, voiced by Candi Milo.
Critics have praised the movie's blend of classic Looney Tunes humor with modern sensibilities, avoiding overreliance on nostalgia or excessive references.
The animation has been lauded for its artistry, evoking the charm of traditional 2D cartoons while offering a refreshing alternative to CGI-dominated visuals.
The movie is seen as a celebration of Looney Tunes' timeless appeal and a call for the revival of hand-drawn animation in mainstream cinema.
