Financially, it performed far worse than ''Space Jam''. It's estimated that Warner Bros. lost between $60 million and $80 million on the film, making it one of the biggest box office flops ''ever'' at the time -- [[FranchiseKiller the series of brand new theatrical cartoon shorts were all canceled]] including ones that ''were already finished''. Some also claim that the failure of this movie is the reason why Creator/CartoonNetwork stopped airing the original Looney Tunes shorts regularly. This film made the company realize there doesn't seem to be any clear future for the Looney Tunes, except for the occasional television special, [[WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers a faithful new TV series]] and [[WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed some controversial]] [[http://www.deadline.com/2010/08/warner-bros-next-movie-star-bugs-bunny/#more-61224 updates]] (at least until Cartoon Network aired ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', but even that was short-lived). Despite this, fans have been known to state that this movie is much better than ''Space Jam'', bringing the characters back to their roots, and has gained a cult following on DVD. In fact, many claim one of the main reasons the film failed at the theaters was due in part to the lousy marketing of Warner Bros, and, considering their treatment of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie'' the previous year and ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'' three years before that, the claim is not without justification.

* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:After being the ButtMonkey for the entire film, Daffy weaponizes the fact that his beak gets constantly blown off and uses it to stop the satellite from firing, thus making him the hero.]]

* PatheticDroopingWeapon: "Secretly evil" Elmer Fudd pursues Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck through a series of painting in the Louvre. The chase begins in Georges Seurat's A Sunday on la Grande Jatte, moves to Edvard Munch's The Scream, and continues to Salvador Dali's Persistence of Memory. There, the characters find themselves seeming to melt as they run. Elmer levels his shotgun at the fleeing duo, and warns "Stop or I'll fire!" accompanied by rebus illustrations. Elmer's gun also begins to sag in keeping with the medium, so he props up the barrels with a crutch from The Burning Giraffe. Pulling the trigger, Elmer discharges two bullets that vomit from the muzzle, then fall to the ground after a foot of travel.
