To save the world, they'll have to stick together.

Porky and Daffy, the classic animated odd couple, turn into unlikely heroes when their antics at the local bubble gum factory uncover a secret alien mind control plot.

I saw this on my own in the cinema on Saturday morning, and that did make me wonder how relevant “Porky Pig” and “Daffy Duck” are to young audiences now, outside of the USA. There are really two parts to this story about a pair who have grown up together, imbued with a sense of teamwork and mutual affection by “Farmer Jim”. When a visitor from outer space relieves their home of a great chunk of it’s roof, they find themselves needing to find themselves a job for the first time in the lives to pay for repairs. “Porky” is the more sensible of the two, “Daffy” the more erratic and so their job-hunting isn’t without it’s incident. Then “Daffy” spots a zombified, green-eyed, scientist and next thing we know their chewing gum factory looks likely to be the base for a maniacal alien’s plans to conquer the world. Why? Well luckily our intrepid duo ally with the brainy piggy "Petunia” and she proves quite adept at finding a way to potentially save the day - armed with some rotten eggs, an old fire extinguisher, a children’s roundabout and some inspiration from “Armageddon” (1998). It’s a fairly action-packed animation that I felt could have done without the first twenty minutes, but then ra

As a massive Looney Tunes fan, it was questionable whether or not The Day the Earth Blew Up would even see the light of day let alone be released theatrically. Originally conceived as an HBO Max (now Max) original, the company decided not to release it at all. Unlike Bye Bye Bunny: A Looney Tunes Musical which was canceled mid-production and Coyote vs. Acme which is a fully completed film that was shelved, The Day the Earth Blew Up was shopped around to other distributors where GFM Animation picked it up for theatrical distribution. In The Day the Earth Blew Up, Porky and Daffy have practically been together since birth. They’re raised by a burly, bearded, lumberjack-looking farmer named Farmer Jim. As the two grow up together, Daffy is the crazier of the two whereas Porky kind of goes with whatever Daffy does without voicing how he feels. After Farmer Jim waddles off into the sunset (literally), Porky and Daffy are left with his home which they run into the ground over a handful of years. After trying to tend to various minor repairs before a neighborhood standards review, they are given ten days to fix the gigantic hole in their roof that they somehow overlooked. Otherwise, their

I unpretentiously watched this movie during a flight and regretted immediately not having watched it in the movie teather. this looney tunes meets dawn of the dead movie has duffy duck and pork piggy having to face an alien that turns most humans in their town into zombies. The movie is funny and duffy duck's dub artist did an outstanding job. the length of the movie goes very quickly and it's definitely worth watching.
