There aren’t any specific details yet, but the premise of The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie was revealed relatively early on in the project’s development. The new Looney Tunes movie will focus on Daffy Duck and Pokey Pig.

The pair discover that aliens are plotting to take over Earth, and they’ll be using mind control to do it (it’s unclear if Marvin the Martian is one of these aliens, or if they hail from a planet further afield than Mars). The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie will see Daffy and Porky having to put aside their differences and work together to save Earth, with a healthy dose of animate slapstick hijinks along the way.
