*** Well, it is a Joe Dante movie; he had to make an appearance somewhere in there... along with DickMiller.

*** Is ''Doctor Who'' his favorite show?

* MythologyGag: [[Film/SpaceJam "Let's do some drills."]]
** "Thith doesthn't make a ''lick'' a' sensth."

* RoadMovie
* RobotDog

* StarringSpecialEffects

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The Area 52 scene, featuring [[TheDayOfTheTriffids a Triffid plant]], the eponymous ''Film/RobotMonster'', the mutant from ''Film/ThisIslandEarth'' and even '''[[Series/DoctorWho Daleks]]''', among others. Those last ones were accidentally included without the consent of the Terry Nation estate, for the record. (Keep in mind that the movie was released in 2003 whereas ''Doctor Who'' would only return in 2005.)

** The relayed Civil Defense video tape has animated segments describing the villain's intent, and is animated in a more limited UPA style. (Probably because Warner Bros. use to make cartoon shorts in that style?)

-->'''DJ:''' There's a... man whose got a woman. She's tied up in a burlap sack. He's taking her to the Eiffel Tower.\\

** The deleted scenes had a ''very'' different opening for the film, which features Daffy as a superhero fighting an evil Elmer Fudd and his organ operated robot-thingy (a CrazyAwesome opening not so different from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory 3'')--only to reveal that it's Daffy trying to pitch a film idea, with the Warner Bros. complaining that he killed Elmer in the end. Elmer himself runs off crying at the premise.

* ProductPlacement: Lampshaded when a Wal-Mart shows up out of nowhere in the middle of the desert. Everyone gets into the act pointing out the absurdity of it, but Bugs gets the best quip.
** ''"How nice of that Walmart to give us all these free Walmart merchandise and Walmart beverages in return for saying Walmart so many times"''

** The relayed Civil Defense video tape has animated segments describing the villain's intent, and is animated in a more limited UPA style. ...For some reason.
*** FridgeBrilliance: Didn't Warner Bros. use to make cartoon shorts in that style?

'''D.J.''': I am! You seen those ''[[Film/TheMummyTrilogy Mummy]]'' movies? I'm in them more than Brendan Fraser is!
** FridgeBrilliance: A lot of Fraser's commentary for the first ''Mummy'' movie is him pointing out stunts he didn't do.

** Bugs recreates the [[PsychoShowerMurderParody iconic scene]] from ''Film/{{Psycho}}''.

*** To be fair, Elmer wasn't too happy about it either.

Also worth noting that this is the last film to be scored by composer JerryGoldsmith before he passed away after a long struggle with colon cancer (his illness kept him from completing the film, with the final reels scored by John Debney). It is also Peter Graves' final film appearance.

* HilariousInHindsight: Ron Perlman as a wimpy Acme exec is about as far from [[SonsOfAnarchy Clay Morrow]] as you could possibly imagine.

** Also happens extremely literally: In one scene, Shaggy and Scooby Doo are arguing with another guy over what is implied to be a bad deal with an acting contract. That other guy that Shaggy was arguing with was his ''voice actor.''

---> ''(fadeout disappears and car smashes into the ground)''

The second feature film attempt at reviving the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes franchise since the fall of the original WarnerBros cartoons, after ''Film/SpaceJam''. Released in 2003, this film is another good example of the RogerRabbitEffect. DaffyDuck is fired from the Warner Studio and falls in the middle of a search for a mysterious Blue Monkey diamond that the secret agent father of a security guard is also trying to find before the Head of Acme does. Without Daffy, BugsBunny just can't do his job, and he heads out across the world with the VP of Comedy to retrieve him. Creator/BrendanFraser and Jenna Elfman star as said security guard and VP, Joe Alaskey voices both Bugs ''and'' Daffy, and SteveMartin is a live-action villain who is the Head of the [[AcmeProducts Acme]] Corporation that apparently invents all the malfunctioning devices known to cartoon-dom. Creator/JoeDante directs. Eric Goldberg, who animated ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}''[='=]s Genie, directs the animation.

** The sheer number of cameos from even the most obscure of ''Tunes'' characters demonstrates this--Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog eat lunch together in the background of the cafe, the Three Bears are vacationing in France, and damn near every single canine character turns up in the film's final scene.

* YouHaveFailedMe: Mr. Chairman has Taz eat one of the [=VPs=] down to a skeleton for questioning him.[[hottip:*:He survives... somehow.]] Also, a DeletedScene reveals the reason why the [=VPs=] had to press their buzzers before speaking up.

* TakeThatMe: Warner Bros. took a potshot at one of their own movies during the cafeteria scene when Shaggy and Scooby-Doo verbally rip Matthew Lillard over his portrayal of the former in the LiveActionAdaptation of Scooby-Doo.

* AsideGlance: Many characters do this when the ridiculousness of their situation is just too much to handle. Like when a Wal-Mart mirage shows up and they {{Lampshade}} ProductPlacement

** In an AnimateActors kind of way, this trope also applies to the Looney Tunes themselves. Bugs, Daffy, Elmer, Porky, Speedy and several others are depicted as actors who did star in their real-life shorts, but Tweety, Sylvester, Taz, Yosemite Sam, Marvin and several others are just depicted as people who hase seemingly no connection to the Warner Bros. studio.

'''Bugs''': See, I told you this wasn't gonna work without- * Elmer shoots him*

* ExecutiveMeddling: Reportedly, a ''lot''. Tons of scenes that were in the middle of animation were cut by the producers. Not to mention the lousy marketing.

* FacePalm: Daffy: "You know, I'm beginning to think that ''this'' one is the spy car!" * Bugs facepalms*

* BlackComedyRape: {{Parodied}} by Pepe Le Pew (big surprise there)
-->'''DJ:''' There's a... man whose got a woman. She's tied up in a burlap sack. He's taking her to the Eiffel Tower.\\
'''Pepe:''' Ahh! It is spring. Is it not?

* ShoutOut: "Hey, whadda ya know? I [[FindingNemo found Nemo]]!"
** Bugs recreates the [[PsychoShowerMurderParody iconic scene]] from ''{{Film/Psycho}}''.

* StealthPun: As DJ and Daffy go into the garage, the theme from Gremlins (which was also directed by Dante and whose score was also composed by [[JerryGoldsmith Jerry Goldsmith]]) sneaks into the music. Guess what model of car they drive off in.

-->'''Speedy Gonzales:''' You're telling me.

* ArtShift: Shaggy and ScoobyDoo have a short cameo threatening bodily harm to Matthew Lillard in the studio cafeteria after seeing his performance of the latter in the live action film. They are rendered in the same art style as the ''Scooby Doo'' cartoons.

** Also given several TakeThat moments in the movie.

* TalkingToHimself: Brendan Fraser playing three different characters, one of them even punching another near the end.
