Looney Tunes - Back in Action (VHS, 2004)

Joe Dante, Dean Cundey, Brendan Fraser|Theatrical release: 2003 | Rating: PG (MPAA)

Movie synopsis

Joe Dante directs this fast-paced, inventive combination of animation and live action with irreverent, comic flair. In Hollywood, Daffy Duck is jealous of Bugs Bunny's success and demands a pay increase. Instead of giving him a raise, Kate (Jenna Elfman) a fed-up studio executive, fires Daffy and has him escorted off the lot by security guard D.J. Drake (Brendan Fraser). Drake is a wannabe stunt man who is heading to Las Vegas to find his missing father, Damian Drake (Timothy Dalton), a famous actor/secret agent in search of the elusive Blue Monkey Diamond (a diamond that turns humans to monkeys). Out of work, Daffy joins D.J. while Kate and Bugs Bunny follow, desperate to rehire Daffy. Meanwhile, Damian Drake is being held captive by the evil Mr. Chairman (Steve Martin), a mad scientist who wants the Blue Monkey Diamond for his own nefarious plot to rule the world. Their quest for Damian and the Diamond sends Daffy, D.J., Kate and Bugs on a global adventure, full of hilarious Hollywood spoofs and pop culture trivia. References to INDIANA JONES in the African jungle, or STAR WARS while in space are just a few of the nonstop Hollywood parodies. The entire Looney Tunes cast of characters join the stars, including Elmer Fudd, Tweety Bird, Foghorn Leghorn and many others in this dizzying adventure.

First of all, my VHS copy of this movie came from a closeout store and not Ebay. But for those of you who love Looney Tunes, this movie is a good buy whether you get it on VHS or DVD. If you are like me, you are looking for a return to the Saturday mornings and matinee theatre shorts of your youth, when Bugs Bunny and his friends had their hour long television show and "Merrie Melodies" brought the wonderful Warner Brothers cartoons to the movie matinee screens.
"Back in Action" delivers Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Marvin the Martian and the Tasmanian Devil in full doses of big glory. The other Warners characters, such as Porky Pig and Speedy Gonzales, also make nice cameos.
They share the screen with Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman. Mr. Fraser is an actor who gives his all to each project he has ever been in and in this one, he seems to have been directed to be subdued and low key. It is the Warner cartoon characters film, after all! Ms. Elfman was a nice choice to play the female human lead. Her expressive face and light-hearted manner (even when trying to be serious) works well in the cartoon universe.
So what if the plot is a little convoluted? So what if the action is a little overly frenetic and contains a few Hollywood jokes. How many of you ever watched a Warner Brothers cartoon for the plot?
