Those wild gadgets would alway carry the Acme label, and the brand suffered from extreme quality-control issues. They never worked as advertised, and those products inform the story here. The film starts with a bit of industrial maleficence and then jumps to some Road Runner versus Coyote action. It looks magnificent on the big screen and sets the visual tone for what follows.

The mix of live action and cartoon characters has been done before (think Who Framed Roger Rabbit) but never in quite this fashion. Even the real actors chosen for the main roles (Will Forte and John Cena) have more than a bit of cartoon ethos in them. Forte as the lawyer who takes on the case against the big conglomerate Acme on behalf of Wile E. Coyote hits the right marks to give the fight a proper David and Goliath feel.

Drawing a parallel with the overabundance of power modern corporations now wield, the court scenes are especially topical. The satisfaction of the little guy coming out ahead is especially apparent when Wile E. captures the baddies with a great Rube Goldberg contraption. This film is surprisingly accessible for audiences of all ages and, looking for context in relation to events of today, has an underlying sense of subversion. Now the only thing missing is a breakfast bowl of rainbow coloured sugar.

Luckily, the two meet Petunia Pig and she comes to the rescue by securing them a job at the local bubble gum factory where she works as a flavour scientist. Everything is great, until Daffy notices something strange. The new bubble gum flavour being sold & chewed worldwide is has been contaminated by a mysterious, gloopy, neon green slime!

Daffy tries to warn everyone, but he only succeeds in getting fired from the factory and thrown into jail. Determined to prove his suspicions, Daffy seeks the help of Porky and Petunia. It isn’t long before they realise that, not only is the gum contaminated, it’s turning everyone into zombies as part of an evil alien’s plot to blow up the Earth!

Porky, Daffy and Petunia find themselves in a race against time to fight off the terrifying gum zombies and make their way to the alien’s ship to stop his world-ending plans. This adventure takes them on a high-stakes mission into space and tests the strength of Daffy and Porky’s bond. Happily, thanks to Petunia’s scientific skills, Porky’s quick thinking and Daffy’s crazy determination, they might just save the day.

This is a sci-fi Looney Tunes movie which is truly, and literally, out of this world!
