Distributor Ketchup Entertainment is preparing puny humans for the invasion of The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie next year, with an Academy Awards-qualifying run in Los Angeles this month. The 2D-animated pic will play at the Laemmle NoHo 7 in North Hollywood on December 13.
Directed by Pete Browngardt (Looney Tunes Cartoons, Uncle Grandpa) and produced by Warner Bros. Animation, the highly anticipated film will conclude its nail-biting release saga by opening nationwide on February 28, 2025.
Synopsis: Porky Pig and Daffy Duck venture to the big screen as unlikely heroes and Earth’s only hope when their antics at the local bubble gum factory uncover a secret alien mind control plot. Faced with cosmic odds, the two are determined to save their town (and the world!) … that is if they don’t drive each other totally looney in the process.
Featuring the voices of acclaimed actors Eric Bauza, Candi Milo, Peter MacNicol, Wayne Knight and Laraine Newman with the laugh-out-loud gags, vibrant visuals and beloved characters that make the Looney Tunes so timeless and iconic.
Featuring many returning talents from the Looney Tunes Cartoons series, The Day the Earth Blew UP is directed by Browngardt; written by Browngardt, Darrick Bachman, Kevin Costello, Andrew Dickman, David Gemmill, Alex Kirwan, Ryan Kramer, Jason Reicher, Michael Ruocco, Johnny Ryan and Eddie Trigueros; exec produced by Browngardt and WBA head Sam Register; with Kirwan as supervising producer and Michael Baum as line producer.
The creative team also includes composer Joshua Moshier, editor Nick Simotas, art director Nick Cross and production designer Aaron Spurgeon.
