The Day The Earth Blew Up: Release Date, Cast, Story & Everything We Know About The New Looney Tunes Movie

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie is the upcoming feature-length Looney Tunes film starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. The sci-fi-themed outing will be the first fully animated Looney Tunes theatrical movie and will focus on Daffy Duck and Porky Pig as they must learn to work together to save the world from nefarious aliens who use mind control. With Tom & Jerry writer Kevin Costello on script duties and Looney Tunes veteran Pete Browngardt directing, The Day the Earth Blew Up is a momentous occasion in the nearly century-old franchise.

The Looney Tunes have made the jump to theatrical movies in the past, but films like Space Jam and Looney Tunes Back in Action blended live-action segments with the cartoons. Despite the franchise’s grand theatrical debut, the development of The Day the Earth Blew Up has been anything but smooth, with Warner Bros. shifting its release plan several times since it was announced in 2021. Now, with early reviews being glowing raves (via IGN), it’s only a matter of time before The Day the Earth Blew Up gets a worldwide theatrical release.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie took a long and twisting path to reach its theatrical conclusion, and Warner Bros. even fully scrapped the project at one point. Destined to become a write-off like Warner’s Coyote vs. Acme, The Day the Earth Blew Up was scooped up by Ketchup Entertainment, and will now get a full theatrical run. The distributor has now scheduled the Looney Tunes feature to arrive on March 14, 2025. Though the streaming future of the movie is unknown, it will be available theatrically.

Coyote vs. Acme has been permanently shelved and there are currently no plans to release the film.

Joining Bauza will be Robert Bergen reprising his role as Porky Pig, alongside Candi Milo as Petunia Pig.

There aren’t many specifics yet, but the premise of The Day the Earth Blew Up was revealed. The new Looney Tunes movie will focus on Daffy Duck and Porky Pig as the pair discover that aliens are plotting to take over Earth, and they’ll be using mind control to do it (it’s unclear if Marvin the Martian is one of these aliens). The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie will see Daffy and Porky put aside their differences and work together to save Earth, with a healthy dose of animated slapstick hijinks along the way.
