I saw it last night with my spouse. It was good, we laughed at a bunch of the visual gags.

It's not as good as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which is the obvious comparison, but it's legitimately fun.

Thanks for reminding me to watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit again. It's one of, like, 5 DVD/Blu-Rays I own, because of how excellent it is.

What are the other 4 movies you own?

Princess Mononoke & Spirited Away (and also Kiki's Delivery Service because it was a package. Not that it's bad, but not as important to me as the other two)

Into the Spider-Verse, for breaking away from the 3D animation movie style

I'll have to rewatch Princess Mononoke; I haven't seen it since it was in the theater in the US. I remember not liking it as much as the other Miyazaki I've seen, but I'm a different person today.

it was the first Miyazaki I saw, in college, and it blew me away. I still occasionally listen to Joe Hisaichi's soundtrack.

I hope one of them is Doctor Strangelove

ooh good call, I should fix that.

Agree. Seemed more like something that should go direct to streaming instead of big screen.

Decent, not amazing.

I actually thought the big screen worked well for it. It was cramming a lot of background detail in that was fun to see.

Completely agree. My wife and I absolutely loved it. Tons of fun, and unexpectedly quite intelligent.

I loved it too, and my daughters (who had access to several looney toons collections as kids) also seemed to enjoy it.

I watched it (I'm a big old school looney tunes fan) and I don't think I laughed even once in the entire movie.

My 5 year old spent the whole time laughing. We have the expression "grow up!" that we tell kids. Sometimes I think we need the opposite expression for adults who are peeved when cartoons don't make them laugh.

I simply feel that it could have been 10X better. They had everything for it to be great, and it was just.... adequate.

Here's an example of Looney Tunes elevating the genre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What%27s_Opera,_Doc%3F

To me, this seems to be an expectations issue. I thought it was going to suck. It's a live action and cartoon mix about looney tunes, itself a broad and very meh cultural artifact IMO. Compared to my expectations, it was funny and good. It seems that you had very high expectations for it to "elevate the genre", which ... I struggle to understand why.

Same here. It was really cheesy for my taste

You missed some really good jokes.

Which ones? I have a copy of the movie and can go back and check.

But in my experience nearly all the jokes had already been done in the original show, or were duplicative of jokes from other "X vs Y" movies.

For me personally, the single funniest thing was "Based on a true story".
