Ketchup Entertainment has announced a February 28th 2025 theatrical release date for the sci-fi comedy adventure film “The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie”.
The buddy-comedy project marks the first fully animated non-compilation feature film in the Looney Tunes franchise to receive a cinema release.
Originally developed for Max, the film was going to be a content write-off for the company until Warner Bros. Animation was permitted to shop the film elsewhere.
Following its world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June to rave reviews, it was acquired by Ketchup Entertainment with plans for a theatrical release. The film will have its North American premiere tomorrow night.
The story begins with a series of antics at the bubblegum factory. In the wake of this, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig discover a secret alien plot to take over the Earth via mind-control.
The duo must work together with Petunia Pig to stop the aliens, while trying to avoid driving each other insane. Pete Browngardt makes his feature directorial debut on the film which was written by Kevin Costello.
Two-time Emmy Award-winner Eric Bauza reprises his voice roles as lifelong friends Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. Candi Milo, Fred Tatasciore, Peter MacNicol, Wayne Knight and Laraine Newman also lend their voices.
