The Day The Earth Blew Up
Just finished watching "The Day The Earth Blew-Up - A Looney Tunes Movie" released by Warner Brothers.
"The Day The Earth Blew Up" is actually the first, original full-length Looney Tunes movie ever made. The previously released Looney Tunes movies were just compilations of previous Looney Tunes that had aired on television, and had a few new scenes of animation made to link the stories. It is also a hand-drawn 2D animation movie which starts out as a reimagining of the origin stories of Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. These unlikely friends are adopted as babies by a friendly farmer and raised as brothers; and a highlight is an amusing early scene that establishes how Porky develops his trademark stutter.
Petunia Pig also makes her big screen debut in this movie. She's as adorable as she is quirky. And together with Porky and Daffy, the really are the trio you would least expect to save the world from an alien invasion and yet they somehow get the job done.
Some scenes had the feel of a "Gold Key" comic and Gold Key Comics did print hundreds of issues of Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Tweety, and other Looney Tune Comics.
Now without giving too much away, there is a "Ray Bradbury" type of twist where the alien took over the Earth for a completely different reason then why aliens usually want to take over the world.
Ironically, if I'm remembering correctly, Warner Brothers almost did not release "The Day The Earth Blew Up" in theaters and/or Blu-ray. Fortunately, Warner Brothers did. Now if only Warner Brothers will release "Coyote vs Acme."
Strongly Recommended.
Five Stars.
