Warner Bros. Discovery has been kind of a mess lately, significantly in relation to animation. But when there’s one vibrant spot it’s that some media has managed to be saved from being completely killed to save cash. A kind of is the Looney Tunes film The Day the Earth Blew Up, which can fortunately be hitting stateside theaters someday within the subsequent few months.
Days in the past, Ketchup Leisure revealed it’d acquired the North American rights to Day from worldwide distributor GFM Animation. To this point, it’s solely performed in theaters over in Germany and Switzerland, and a particular date for different territories (together with North America) hasn’t been set. Per Deadline, CEO Gareth West known as the movie “a historic second for the Looney Tunes franchise, and we’re proud to be partnering with Warner Bros. Animation to deliver this movie to audiences theatrically. We can not look forward to audiences of all ages to expertise one of many smartest animated movies lately.”
The Day the Earth Blew Up options Daffy Duck and Porky Pig (each voiced by Eric Bauza) within the lead roles. As lifelong buddies and coworkers, the pair uncover indicators of an invasion of aliens and zombies, and it falls to them and Petunia Pig to cease it. Other than being saved from WBD’s scythe, the movie has the excellence of being the primary unique fully-animated theatrical Looney Tunes movie to hit theaters. When it premiered on the Annecy Worldwide Animation Competition in June, the film bought fairly optimistic reactions from those that noticed it, so right here’s hoping it lives as much as that reward (and will get to stay round in theaters for some time) every time Ketchup places it down for a particular date.
