A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Terry Staunton

Daffy Duck and Porky Pig spring into action when the world is threatened by aliens in an affectionate animated spoof of vintage science-fiction movies that also doffs a cap to the Looney Tunes' own bygone golden age. As lowly manual workers at a bubblegum factory, the duo discovers sinister beings from outer space have infected the company's newest flavour with a serum that turns earthlings into zombies, and must thwart the evildoers before the product's big public rollout. Although Warner Bros' original landmark shorts hovered around the seven-to-eight-minute mark, director Peter Browngardt and his team of animators and writers are so enthusiastically inventive that these feature-length shenanigans never outstay their welcome. The period setting is non-specific but sprinkled with pleasingly retro touches (cars, corner diners, a cassette player), typical of the impressive attention to detail throughout that older viewers in particular will find satisfying. Eric Bauza's voice work on both main characters is spot-on, zesty and reverential to the legendary Mel Blanc of yore.
