The best fully animated 'Looney Tunes' cartoon in a while

Yet again, a surprisingly decent animated special is/was marketed horribly(the trailers are just plain stupid. Why would seeing Taz burp make anyone want to watch this?). Thankfully, Joe Alaskey does Daffy's voice and as usual he does an awesome job. Bugs Bunny is a very difficult voice to emulate but Billy West, who voiced him, did a good job considering.

The premise for the movie is that Daffy is a selfish and rich CEO who overworks his employees and underpays them. I think you know where it's going from here if you've seen A Christmas Carol.

The animation is great and the soundtrack is a plus as well. There are lots of little references to past Looney Tunes cartoons and the characters that everyone remembers all appear in cameos. I thought the movie was cute and funny and I don't think it should be compared to the actual Looney Tunes cartoons from 50+ years ago. I'm just glad they attempted to revive the characters for this movie(which by the way, is a hundred times better than anything I've seen on television lately. Especially CN(Crap Network).

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there will be another Looney Tunes 'movie' anytime soon. I appreciate the efforts of the people behind this movie because it's easy for me to see they tried their best. And Daffy deserves more movies!
