Porky Pig and Daffy Duck are Earth’s only hope when it faces the threat of an alien invasion. Pictures. The film was originally intended to be a streaming exclusive on the streaming service Max. As the company continued to release it, the film was sent to other distributors, with GFM Animation eventually acquiring the worldwide distribution rights and remaking the film into a theatrical release.
Porky does the same later in the scene
Inside the meteor, when Daffy demonstrates his talent for levers, he pulls a lever to lower the machine and pushes it to go back up. But when Porky and Petunia are strapped in, Daffy pushes the lever forward and the machine still lowers them… At the end of the closing credits, Porky Pig gives his classic statement: “That’s it, folks!” only to be interrupted by Daffy Duck, who tells him that this is not the end of the movie and that they need a sequel..

And after I finished watching, all I could think was
Mr. Bass Man Written by Johnny CymbalDigitrax Entertainment through an agreement with Covered Records, Inc.. I’m writing this review from Italy, where the movie was released on November 7th. I was pretty curious to see it for all the different reasons that many others had already expressed.
They finally did it!
They finally made a REAL movie where these characters can show off all their crazy traits in a more real way. The result is a great balance between that more classic aura (in more ways than you can imagine) and the more modern setting. First, something I’m sure everyone will agree on: it was so satisfying to see 2D used again in a big production and in such a smooth way that perfectly served the characters’ expressiveness and dynamics, as well as all the settings’ dimensions. And speaking of characters, I appreciated the idea of focusing on Porky and Daffy, they’re simply the best duo in Tunes’ history, although I have to admit that I prefer Chuck Jones’ version of the duck, the more greedy and selfish one, rather than the complete lunatic, but he does a good job here, so I can’t complain.
And the mind-controlling bubblegum thing gives life to some imagery that managed to be both funny and disgusting at the same time
Porky is just Porky, but he does a pretty good job too, and I liked the use of Petunia, she was really fun to be around during her journey and her design was really appealing. The alien invader had its moments too, its design may be simple but beautifully effective, it clearly pays homage to classic 1940s sci-fi films, just like the rest of the film does. So, all in all, a perfect Looney Tunes plot that many may find too simple or devoid of any originality, and while I agree that they could have been a little more ambitious in terms of plot and that some of the fun didn’t really work out, I also think that overall you have to take this as a sincere love letter to the characters and their legacy, a good way to introduce them to a new audience and remind old fans that this is N-N-N-Not all people yet!
