Director Pete Browngardt told IndieWire in a November 2024 interview that The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie presented a great opportunity to pair up Porky Pig and Daffy Duck.
It goes to most classic buddy comedies and how it always seems to work, this sort of wacky, out-of-control, off-the-cuff character, and the more grounded, sensible character,” Browngardt told IndieWire. “And I just was always amazed that it never got old. You can always throw them in a modern situation and figure out how to make them funny.

“Daffy is just sort of the greatest cartoon character in a way. He can play so many personalities, he’s so versatile. He’s loony,” the director added. “But then he became a greedy a------ when Bugs needed an adversary, and that was relatable. Some people prefer the old one, but I like them both. They both served their purpose.”
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie will arrive on streaming on Max on June 27 and will debut on HBO linear on June 28 at 8 p.m. ET.
