Duo uncovers a secret alien plot

Two unlikely Looney Tunes characters take center stage in their newest movie, The Day the Earth Blew Up released on March 14, 2025. Porky the Pig and Daffy the Duck are well known for being some of the funniest comedic foils in history. Daffy is known for being intense, while Porky is usually very anxious. This pair has been on screens since 1935 and 1937, and they make their grand return as they attempt to save the world. This movie shines some light on the other characters in Looney Tunes. Voice actors Eric Bauza voices Daffy Duck and Candi Milo voices Petunia Pig.

With a relatively small 15-million-dollar budget, The Day the Earth Blew Up grossed about 11.5 million worldwide. There is a reason why this movie is not how movies are. With Ketchup Entertainment having a small budget, there was not much advertising. The film also has many positive reviews, claiming it is incredibly nostalgic. About 15 skilled individuals received credits for this movie.

The story begins when Porky and Daffy discover a secret alien mind control plan while playing in a gum factory. The two main characters are played by the talented voice actor Eric Bauza. The movie starts with Daffy and Porky looking for a way to get money to repair their house. They come across Porky’s later love interest, Petunia the pig, who works in a gum factory as a flavor scientist. Later, they realize that the gum is contaminated and used as a mind-control device. As people get infected, Porky and Daffy believe they are the only ones who can fix this.

The movie’s running gag is a classic: a shocked character spitting liquid into someone’s face. In true Looney Tunes fashion, the dialogue is super quick and hilarious.

The film’s style is sharper and has a cleaner animation style, compared to the old style of Looney Tunes. However, the consistencies and the wacky gags all meet the standards. In the final scene, their landlord is disturbed about the massive hole in their home and gives them ten days to fix it. They end up getting jobs to play for and fix the damage. In the words of Porky Pig, That’s all Folks!
