Looney
Tunes : Back in Action (Widescreen Edition) (2003)
At the peak of Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Bugs Bunny
and Daffy Duck lead Elmer Fudd on a wild pursuit through
famous paintings hanging in the Louvre, their animated
selves absorbing the painting styles of Salvador Dali,
Georges Seurat, Toulouse Lautrec, and others. That sequence
manages to recapture the anarchic spirit of Warner Bros.'
classic cartoons; unfortunately, not much else in this
labored movie does. Technically, the merging of live
actors and cartoon characters is impressive, as Brendan
Fraser and Jenna Elfman team up with Bugs and Daffy
to save the world by keeping a magical diamond out of
the hands of the evil Acme Corporation, headed by a
nerdy, prancing Steve Martin. Just about every Warner
Bros. character makes an appearance, as do Timothy Dalton,
Heather Locklear, and the ever-dependable comic delight
of Joan Cusack (In and Out, School of Rock). --Bret
