Did you know "The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie" was even happening before you clicked on this article? You would think Warner Bros. would treat the first-ever fully animated feature-length theatrical film (not including any of the previous "Looney Tunes" package movies that compile multiple shorts) featuring some of the most iconic cartoon characters in cinema history as a momentous occasion. But no, under the reign of current WB Discovery CEO David Zaslav, "The Day the Earth Blew Up" has thus far been treated as little more than extra "content" for the fire (apologies for using the C-word).
Case in point, the original plan was to quietly shuffle "The Day the Earth Blew Up" onto Max with little fanfare — right up until Zaslav's regime went all Freddy Krueger on the streaming platform's animation department and canceled half a dozen of their developing projects back in August 2022, "The Day the Earth Blew Up" included. Since then, fortunately, the "Looney Tunes" film has made a remarkable recovery and is now on its way to the silver screen. WB is absolutely right to feel confident about this one, too, judging by the creatives involved.

It just won’t be the same if one of the male cartoon characters wears a dress.
I hate when the Earth blows up.
I have a house there.
I sure miss Mel Blanc. Just not the same without him.
Ditto. Mel was an absolute genius. Whatever he earned in his lifetime wasn’t enough.
LoL! I forgot about Marvin the Martian.
Do they blow up Congress, like in Mars Attacks?
The screen shots don’t have the warmth of the old ones.
Everything they do will pale in comparison to the work of a comic genius.
Marvin was one of my favorites. I loved the artwork and imagination that went into those cartoons.
Duck Dodgers in the 25th and a half Century, or whatever. They were wonderful!
I bet Daffy Duck wore a dress at some point too (against his will maybe, and him complaining the entire time?) Of course those were the days when it was just comedy shtick (Milton Berle, etc.)
I guess every cartoon charachter wore a dress at one time or another.
