**Very friendly and well done, it's pure entertainment.** Along with the world of Walt Disney's ducks, "The Muppets" and the various productions of Hanna and Barbera, the "Looney Tunes" and "Merry Melodies" are the largest and most popular sets of North American animation cartoons. And when it comes to the Tunes, we know what's going to happen: there's going to be a lot of crazy animation, explosions and funny effects. This film will please Tunes fans, putting the most adorable and iconic characters on the big screen, and giving the spotlight, of course, to Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, the duo that is inseparable, even if they are always at odds. It all begins with the dismissal of Daffy and a human employee of the Warner studio, and will end in a kind of fight against evil, in support of the father of that employee who, in fact, is a secret agent in the image of James Bond. A seemingly crazy mix, but one that works thanks to the skill and irreverence of the Tunes. I won't waste time talking about voice actors. The studio intelligently took advantage of those who usually voice these characters, so we are dealing with professionals who know very well what they do and what the characters ask of them. We have, however, an excellent comic performance by Brendan Fraser, who seems completely comfortable with what was asked of him and even seems to have fun with it all. Jenna Elfman isn't bad either, but she can't keep up with Fraser. The movie is very good. It's pure entertainment, with classic touches that we're used to seeing in Tunes material. It's the case with that chase in the Louvre, or the various fights between Duffy and Bugs. Being a more humble and sympathetic film than Space Jam, I felt that it doesn't have the weight of excessive publicity against it, besides having a true comic actor in the main human role, and not an amateur trying to act it out.
