First Teaser Trailer Released For Looney Tunes Film ‘The Day The Earth Blew Up’
Indie distributor Ketchup Entertainment, which in one of the oddest distribution deals of 2024 acquired U.S. distribution rights to the high-profile Warner Bros. Animation animated feature The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, has revealed the first teaser trailer for the film.
The fast-cutting 72-second montage is a firecracker zinger of wiseacre humor, zippy gags, and meta references to the Looney Tunes legacy, with spluttering Daffy Duck and his long-suffering pants-less porcine pal Porky Pig encountering surreal science-fiction mayhem. The film is rated PG for “cartoon violence action and rude suggestive humor”:
Directed by Pete Browngardt (Uncle Grandpa, Looney Tunes Cartoons), the 91-minute film is scheduled for wide release in the U.S. on February 28, 2025. The official 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.
Key credits on the film: production design by Aaron Spurgeon, art direction by Nick Cross, music by Joshua Moshier, edited by Nick Simotas, and written by Darrick Bachman, Kevin Costello, Andrew Dickman, David Gemmill, Alex Kirwan, Ryan Kramer, Jason Reicher, Michael Ruocco, Johnny Ryan, Eddie Trigueros, and Pete Browngardt.
