The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie
It's a trip back to my childhood memory lane when “Saturday Morning Looney Tunes Cartoons” meets “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” meets “Night of the Living Dead” meets “Armageddon”. Those lovable losers, Porky Pig & Daffy Duck, are back on the big screen. Porky & Daffy were raised by Farmer Jim. After Jim leaves, these 2 barnyard buddies struggle to maintain jobs & the upkeep of their house. Finally, they secure a job through Petunia Pig at the Goodie Gum factory where a new flavor, Strongberry, is being developed & promoted. Unfortunately, this new chewing gum has been infected by an alien invader & a mad scientist. The people of Earth are being turned into zombies controlled by the alien. Did I forget to mention a huge asteroid is also headed straight at Earth. Now this trio must somehow stop the zombie invasion & save our planet. It’s a nostalgic look back one of my favorite toons but adults would likely be bored. This one seems to be targeted for older kids; although there is a duck crack, a dog fart, & vomit jokes to amuse little kiddies.
Alien gives it 2 “Green Goo” stars out of 4.
