The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie 2024

A scientist discovers an asteroid heading towards Earth, but then discovers a UFO hurtling alongside it, only to vanish when he goes outside to investigate.

Years ago, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig were raised by a farmer named Jim, who one day left everything to the duo under the promise that they always stick together. In the present, Daffy and Porky prepare for a house inspection, believing they will pass, only to be surprised when a gaping hole in their roof surrounded in green goo appears. The inspector, Mrs. Grecht, gives them 10 days to repair the roof or the house will be condemned. After being unable to hold a job due to Daffy’s wacky antics, the duo come across Petunia Pig, a scientist working at the Goodie Gum factory trying to find the perfect flavor. She offers the two a job at the factory and they accept.

Despite completing their first shift with no issues, Daffy discovers the scientist carrying a briefcase containing the same goo he found on the roof. He follows him as he pours the goo into the gum supply. Daffy tries to alert Porky, but he dismisses it as paranoia. Soon enough, the new gum flavor is launched worldwide, and Daffy raises his suspicion when he realizes everyone chewing the gum gets turned into a zombie. He tries to warn the public at the launch party, but due to the circumstances at play, he ends up making a fool of himself and nobody believes him, resulting in him getting arrested, and by extension Porky and Daffy getting fired.

Petunia is asked to investigate a gum sample and discovers an alien invader is responsible for contaminating the gum. The Invader turns the gum into a sentient monster to eliminate the three from thwarting his plans, but they are able to burn it. Getting an idea, the three conceive a plan to spray people with Petunia’s rotten egg extract in order to make them spit out the gum and burn it while in mid-air. Concerned that Daffy will only get in the way, Porky tells him to stay behind and lay eggs in order to produce more extract.

Porky and Petunia are successful, until Daffy decides to step in and try to fight back as well, only to end up destroying their weapons. The Invader cranks up the gum’s evilness, making the entire town chase after them. Petunia is captured, while Porky and Daffy are abducted by the Invader. They get into a fight and are trapped in a laser cage. With all of Earth’s population under his control, the Invader initiates the second step in his plan, which has everyone blow a bubble big enough to encase the entire planet. Daffy and Porky reconcile and escape the cage when their tears short circuit it, managing to free Petunia and the scientist before they successfully pop the bubble.

However, it turns out the Invader was trying to protect Earth, as the asteroid seen at the beginning is still hurtling towards it, and he wanted to use the gum to bounce the asteroid away, as his love of boba makes him incapable of destroying the planet. Remembering Petunia’s exploding gum, the three, with the help of the Invader and the scientist, enter a weak spot in the asteroid and place a surplus of the gum by a large crystal, where a surplus of wind-up novelty teeth will chew up the gum. When the teeth are accidentally tipped over, Porky instructs Daffy to go crazy, where his antics cause stalactite crystals to fall and “chew” the gum. However, when the three attempt to escape, Daffy gets stuck, and Porky refuses to leave his side. Petunia watches helplessly as the asteroid explodes before it collides with Earth.

Whilst everyone on Earth celebrates with complimentary boba, the scientist and Petunia discover that Daffy and Porky survived, with the crystal they were stuck to falling back to Earth. Attached to the crystal is a new flavor of gum which, despite still making citizens go crazy, they end up loving it, including Petunia herself. As Daffy and Porky examine their destroyed house, Porky discovers that, behind a family portrait he saved earlier, Jim left them a $5 million home insurance contract, thus allowing them to rebuild the house.

In a mid-credits scene, Mrs. Grecht returns for a follow-up inspection, only for Porky, Daffy and Petunia to flex their new mansion to her, much to her anger.
