On the heels of new still image and character poster reveals earlier this week, Ketchup Entertainment has launched the official teaser trailer for The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie. The Warner Bros. Animation production, marking the first fully-animated big screen outing for Looney Tunes in a lovingly hand-crafted 2D homage to the classic cartoons, arrives in theaters nationwide on February 28.
Synopsis: Porky Pig and Daffy Duck venture to the big screen as unlikely heroes and Earth’s only hope when their antics at the local bubble gum factory uncover a secret alien mind control plot. Faced with cosmic odds, the two are determined to save their town (and the world!) … that is if they don’t drive each other totally looney in the process.
Featuring the voices of acclaimed actors Eric Bauza, Candi Milo, Peter MacNicol, Wayne Knight and Laraine Newman, The Day the Earth Blew Up is directed by Pete Browngardt, and reunites many talents from his Annie Award and Children’s & Family Emmy-winning Looney Tunes Cartoons series.
Browngardt also served as executive producer alongside Warner Bros. Animation head Sam Register, and on the writing team with Darrick Bachman, Kevin Costello, Andrew Dickman, David Gemmill, Alex Kirwan, Ryan Kramer, Jason Reicher, Michael Ruocco, Johnny Ryan and Eddie Trigueros. The creative team also included line producer Michael Baum, supervising producer Alex Kirwan, composer Joshua Moshier, editor Nick Simotas, art director Nick Cross and production designer Aaron Spurgeon.
