Looney Tunes - Back in Action (2003)

GREAT MOVIE FOR THE YOUNG FRASER FANS!

Great animation and a real hoot for the Brendan Fraser fans - my 7year old is in LOVE! She has a number of his movies and she's watched this one more in the short 10 days she's had it than any of the others September 17, 2008

Funny!

I've watched this three times over the past week with my daughter. We laugh harder every time. It has some of the anarchy of the old Looney Tunes shorts. At the price, you can't go wrong. August 12, 2008

simple fun guys! It's bugs and daffy!

OK guys, this was not meant to be Citizen Kane. Simply put, this is just a silly, fun movie. Like any Looney Tunes project, they throw out a ton of gags, and some work and some don't. The movie is probably best for those of us who grew up watching Bugs and Daffy and company, to enjoy some nostalgic fun. A lot of the humor will be lost on the kids, particularly as the movie and its actors make fun of themselves and political correctness. Star Brendan Fraser leads the way, making fun of that actor named Brendan Fraser. The tunes characters get in on it, with an updated twist. Mindful of all the complaints about the violence in the cartoons, one of the bad guys refuses to throw dynamite that is about to explode, worrying that he will be sending the wrong message to children. Porky and Speedy Gonzalez are having lunch, bemoaning what political correctness has done to their careers. Jenna Elfman (Dharma from Dharma and Greg) has a hard time adjusting to the tunes, at one point lamenting "who carries dynamite?!?!" At one point, Bugs does the thing of transforming himself into the heavily made-up woman. Jenna chides Bugs that it was funny back when, but was distrubing now. That air of what the characters are not allowed to do or to be in these super-sensitive times is ever-present. Still, they do manage to create lots of obvious gags and some of the adult humor the toons were known for (e.g., a mad chase through the paitings in the Lourve, where Elmer is transformed into The Scream) and where the characters take on roles and qualities from the impressionists and surrealists. Joan Cusak makes her inevitable and always excellent appearance. Some fun, some nostalgia, some making fun of themselves and what society has become. Not bad for a film based around the looney tunes and the evil of the Acme coroporation (headed by great comic and under-appreciated novelist, Steve Martin). August 11, 2008

Good (not Great) Looney Tunes Movie

After watching Space Jam with my 6-year old daughter, I thought that this movie might be fun. Although it has a few laughs, it is not a great movie. My daughter seemed to lose interest pretty quickly. Space Jam was much more entertaining for both of us. It seemed like there was too much plot getting in the way of the fun with this movie. But, it is always nice to see the Looney Tunes gang. I miss watching Bugs and Daffy every afternoon. Oh, those were the good old days. June 4, 2008

Return of the looney tunes.

Okay, um, a-, um, I'm gessing this is like, you know, a sequal to the famous hit movie "Space Jam". But this one had two new actrisses other than Michael Jordon. When I was 12 I was in Middle School. & I was in art class. & we were going to watch a movie with both live action & cartoon. And I'm thinking 'yeah, we're going to watch either "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" or "Space Jam", right? Or maybe not. We were going to watch this & I was dissapointed before & after watching it. So, If you havn't seen it already. I'd go rent Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Or Space Jam. But, if you're really curious enough, I'd give this on a shot. November 19, 2007
