It Pains me to say it, because I'm such a huge Looney Tunes fan, but sitting through this was truly painful.
The biggest reason why this flopped is It just isn't funny, we get the same old Psycho spoof we've seen a dozen times before and which the target audience would not get, we get 1 second cameos by people like Michael Jordan and we get Walmart/Product Placement jokes for pity sakes,
Every Human actor in this was woefully miscast, Jenna Elfman and Brendan Fraser both look really ill at ease, fail to work well with the Animation and are just annoying, Steve Martin in what must be a career worst performance had me reaching for the fast forward button every time his character appeared, and as for Timothy Dalton, who must have really fallen on hard times to appear In this is just embarrassing, though he's only on for about a total of 3 minutes if that.
The SFX are fantastic it's just really unfortunate the story and acting by all concerned is at best abysmal at worst embarrassingly awful
it had a $80m plus budget most of which must have been spent on the FX, and made only $21m stateside and it sadly it was lucky to make as much as that i'm afraid, Mel Blanc must be spinning in his grave
The movie tried to be a movie that adults/parents can also enjoy what with Dalton in Spy mode and certain jokes which were clearly aimed at older viewers but sadly that was a mistake as the script is utter garbage as anybody over the age of about 12 will find hard to raise a smile.
Should have been so much better! and deserves to be in the Bottom 100.
