Annecy Attendees Go Looney for ‘The Day the Earth Blew Up’ at Its Annecy Premiere


From animation students to seasoned vets, Annecy attendees fell in love with Warner Bros.'s "The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie."

An introduction from Browngardt, who won the Annecy Cristal for best series in 2012 with “Secret Mountain Fort Awesome,” and Warner Brothers Animation president Sam Register stressed the legacy of the Looney Tunes characters, and as such, the film pays plenty of winking homage to their long history. Along the way, they meet Petunia Pig, a scientist working at a local factory central to the invasion and an equally awkward love interest for Porky. The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie will be released in cinemas later this year, although a specific date has not yet been announced.
