looney tunes back in action (Joe Dante, 2004)

This film, on its release' was heavily hyped, not just because it's loony tunes, but also every other film which brings back classic cartoon characters like 'who framed roger rabbit', 'the adventures of rocky and Bullwinkle' and of course 'space jam' have all huge family successes and had flawless scripts and memorable parts, however this film..well...

The film has a very cliche plot of daffy duck being sick of playing second fiddle to bugs bunny and has him quit his job as a cartoon character and move in with failed stuntman Drake (Brendan Fraser) who then both set out on a mission to find some ancient artifact in order to save the world, with bugs bunny in hot pursuit wanting daffy back.


Now this film is no space jam, but it does have some funny bits in it which kept me and my five year old brother happy for a few minutes. however the winning formular of daffy duck and bugs bunny has been tampered with and as a result you get serious emotional scene after serious emotinal scene about daffy ducks jealousy, and no one wants to see a cartoon duck with a lisp moan for ages about hows he'll never be as great as a lanky rabbit.
