After saving the world with
Michael Jordan's help in Space Jam (1997), the Looney Tunes return to the
silver screen directed by Joe Dante. Ever since the Gremlins, and in particular
Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990), the American director has sought
inspiration in Warner Bros. cartoon characters, which he finds more caustic than
the Disney characters. In a universe where Looney Tunes live in the same real
world as humans, Daffy Duck quits his job at a Hollywood studio because he feels
like Bugs Bunny gets all the attention. Daffy teams up with Bobby, a
recently-fired stuntman who wants to find his father's mythical lost Blue
Diamond. Soon, the duo are traveling from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and across
the world, from America to Africa, with a studio executive and Bugs Bunny hot on
their tail, trying to get Daffy to come back to his Hollywood
career.
