* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI9NfAetZyk Move Your Feet by Junior Senior]] (the theme that plays at the casino in Vegas), which still sounds well even to this day.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The scene with Tweety's family resolves quickly and has no effect on the plot. It's doubly weird because [[spoiler:Granny and her pets are actually the Chairman and his lackeys in disguise, meaning there's [[UndercoverWhenAlone no reason for them to react in the ways they did]].]]
* CatharsisFactor: In the video game; the general view on Pepe Le Pew in recent decades, seeing him being cooked alive in the "There's a Toon in My Soup!" mission becomes ''very'' satisfying. You can also freely beat on him for as long as you want, although he'll attempt to hit you back.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: The ACME Chairman's introductory scene is both over-the-top, cartoonishly evil, and delivered in such a hammy way that it's impossible to take seriously.
-->'''Chairman''': THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! We cannot have 9-year-olds working in sweatshops making ACME sneakers... not when 3-year-olds work for so much less.
-->'''VP''': But sir, they require naps.
-->'''Chairman''': Put double espresso in their sippy cups!
* EvilIsCool: While not a surprise given his usually stronger performances, Marvin the Martian stands out as the most competent of the Chairman's henchmen, getting all the way to the climax where he actually beats Bugs, only losing due to Daffy's interference.
* FanPreferredCutContent:
** Surprisingly little is done with the Blue Monkey's magical power of turning people into monkeys. At least in the finished film. The DVD special features give us an alternate climax where the Blue Monkey's powers are used to create some truly wild and over-the-top situations.
** The ending was completely altered, which was largely for the best, but this unfortunately also takes out the line confirming that the central romance was deliberately thin and contrived, leaving it looking like just a straightforward case of StrangledByTheRedString.
* FridgeBrilliance:
** Daffy's jealousy and antagonism towards Bugs may seem to be just the consequence of Daffy being the ButtMonkey in all of Bugs' jokes, but it takes on a new light when you learn that '''Daffy Duck came first'''. Daffy's character was created in 1937 with Porky Pig; Bugs only came around with Elmer Fudd in 1940. In other words, Daffy has been bitter about Bugs usurping his popularity since 1940.
** The premise of Daffy being unpopular but the audience still desiring him in cartoons also falls into this remembering that Daffy was converted into TheChewToy during the 50s after ThePrankster archetype was starting to lose popularity. We '''do''' love Daffy, but primarily we love to see Daffy suffer.
* GeniusBonus: During the Louvre chase scene, one of the songs playing in the background is movement #9: the "Baba Yaga" from "Pictures at an Exhibition".
* HamAndCheese: Creator/SteveMartin. Dear Lord, Steve Martin. He's clearly having the time of his life as the ACME Chairman. According to the DVDCommentary, he stayed in character even off-set.
* HarsherInHindsight:
** In the making-of feature for the tie-in video game used to promote it, part of Daffy's "interview" involves him fantasizing about how the movie will be a big hit and that people will be lining out the door to see it. The film went on to be one of Warner Bros' biggest box office bombs, so much that it served as a FranchiseKiller for a period. It's like you can see Daffy pulling at his collar in embarrassment.
** Doubles as a ''very'' subtle example of BitingTheHandHumor: during a chase scene, Sam's goons refuse to throw dynamite out of their car at our heroes because they don't want innocent people to get hurt. It seems like a bit of innocent LampshadeHanging... until you realize that [[RealitySubtext Warner Bros. really did force the filmmakers to tone down the very violence that the Looney Tunes are known for]].
** Creator/BrendanFraser's ActingForTwo gag where he plays both DJ (his own fictional stunt double) and the "real" Brendan Fraser (portrayed as a narcissistic JerkAss), whom DJ gets to punch in the face at the end, moves straight into TearJerker once you read that Creator/BrendanFraser [[https://www.gq.com/story/what-ever-happened-to-brendan-fraser revealed in an interview]] the only reason he signed on for the movie was because he was struggling with crippling depression and self-loathing (due to a number of personal and professional issues) at the time, that he thought of JerkAss Brendan Fraser as a manifestation of the worst parts of himself that he wanted to punch right in the face so badly.
** DJ's line "I was in ''Film/TheMummy1999'' more than Creator/BrendanFraser" takes on a tragic note when you learn the real-life Creator/BrendanFraser not only did his own stunts, but he was working on several action films around the same time as Looney Tunes (especially ''Film/TheMummyTombOfTheDragonEmperor''), and got torn up so bad he was basically in and out of the hospital, in and out of surgery, and "put together with tape and ice" just to get from set to set that he burned out of acting after this film.
** In 2022, the purposely tongue-in-cheek Warner Bros. boardroom scene where Daffy gets fired and the brothers are portrayed as a pair of stuffy, fickle, shortsighted NeverMyFault executives who care more about chasing reboots and trends while dismissing their own beloved characters who they deem unmarketable — ''hits very differently'' since in RealLife they’ve done exactly that; cancelling the [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Batgirl]] film and many other projects as part of their new merger with Discovery, including the nearly-completed Coyote vs. Acme in 2023.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Bugs spends just about the entire movie being nicer to Daffy than he usually is in the cartoons (albeit, while still being a bit of a [[TheGadfly Gadfly]]) and was the only one who knew right from the start that firing him was a bad idea. He even looked like he genuinely felt sorry for him after the main page quote.
-->"Daffy ''always'' comes back. I just tell him how much I need him. We hug, we cry, [[AnvilOnHead I drop somethin' heavy on him]], [[MoodWhiplash I laugh]]..."
* HilariousInHindsight:
** At one point, Shaggy blasts Creator/MatthewLillard for his performance of him in the live action Scooby-Doo movies. As of 2010's ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooCampScare'', Lillard has become Shaggy's official voice actor, and has consistently portrayed him in games and other media ever since.
** Creator/RonPerlman as a wimpy Acme exec is about as far from [[Series/SonsOfAnarchy Clay Morrow]] as you could possibly imagine. Or, for that matter, [[{{Typecasting}} any other role he's ever played.]]
** A movie that has Creator/TimothyDalton and a Dalek is funny now that he's been in ''Series/DoctorWho''.
** Remember the part where the crew was filming a ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' movie? [[{{Defictionalization}} Fortunately]], [[Film/BatmanBegins they got it finished.]]
** WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales complains about political correctness ruining his career, but he's gotten ''way'' more exposure since 2003 due to Hispanic communities speaking up about how much they love him and criticizing Warner Bros. for pushing him aside due to supposed offensiveness. Warner Bros. later casting the character with Hispanic voices such as Creator/FredArmisen, Dino Andrade, and Creator/GabrielIglesias has further helped him in his rise to popularity and he can now commonly be seen amongst other Loony Tunes regulars again.
** Early in the film, Kate says that audiences used to find Bugs' crossdressing funny, but modern audiences find it disturbing. Maybe back when this movie came out in '03, but flash forward to modern times and anyone who's discussed Looney Tunes online can tell you that same crossdressing is seen as just as funny, though in a different context as things like crossdressing are more accepted now.
* HoYay: Whether or not Bugs is really that depressed without Daffy, he certainly goes to pretty great lengths to get him back.
** His style of humor is also lampshaded:
--->'''Kate Houghton''': Okay, about the [[WholesomeCrossdresser crossdressing]] thing: then, funny; now, disturbing.
--->'''Bugs Bunny''': Lady, if you don't find a rabbit wearin' lipstick amusing, then you and I got nothin' to say to each other.
* ItsShortSoItSucks: The video game is not very long at all, with only five areas with a couple of challenges that themselves aren't too long. Even when going for every collectable, the game can easily be beaten in a couple hours in a single afternoon.
* JustHereForGodzilla:
** One of the biggest complaints about the film is how the human characters [[OutOfFocus "hijack" it from the Looney Tunes characters]] to the point that the latter can easily be removed without burdening the plot. That said, the parts where the toons ''are'' on screen are considered the best.
** There is one exception with the human characters though, who himself instead enters this trope alongside the toons: the ACME Chairman. His scenes are amongst the best in the movie, which makes sense as his actor Steve Martin is himself practically a living toon.
* LowTierLetdown: Daffy in the game. Bugs' double jump is a godsend for a platformer, and most platforming sections and collectibles require a double jump in order to reach. In addition, Bugs' burrowing ability is also needed for progression at a few points, and is useful for finding collectibles such as money, health, and Michigan J. Frog trophies. Daffy, on the other hand, is largely outclassed in comparison: Not only does he lack a double jump, his abilities are either barely utilized or are largely situational (such as his swimming ability), are largely outclassed by Bugs' double jump (such as his flutter ability), or he's only used for a level specifically tailored towards him (such as those requiring his Duck Danger costume). In fact, several levels lock you out of playing as Daffy completely, meaning a majority of the game will be spent playing as Bugs, whose abilities are much more tailored towards a platformer, and such comes across as less situational than Daffy.
* MemeticMutation:
** The scene where Bugs screams, only to stop himself, clear his throat, and spray his mouth before resuming became popular to make edits of on [=YouTube=] in July 2021.
** The next summer in 2022, the scene of Daffy betting all his Warner Bros stock as the car is about to crash quickly rose in popularity due to Warner Bros' stock plummeting as a result of their merger with Discovery.
** The shot of Wile E. Coyote holding up a sign that reads "They don't pay me enough" became popular on social media in early 2024, related to the controversy surrounding WB refusing to release ''Coyote Vs. ACME''.
* MoralEventHorizon: The ACME Chairman has DJ's father Damian Drake tied to a railroad track and "promises" to let him go if DJ gives him the Blue Monkey diamond, only to go back on his word once he has it.
--> '''DJ''': Excuse me, what about my father?\\
'''Chairman''': Oh... [[ILied he's waiting for a train.]]\\
'''DJ''': [[BigWhat WHAT?!]] [[BerserkButton You--!]] ''[lunges at the Chairman but is held back by his henchmen]''
* OneSceneWonder:
** Mentioning all the aliens in Area 52 may be cheating, as they're mostly interesting for the ContinuityPorn value, but Creator/JoanCusack's performance as the researcher there is amazing, which is most obvious when you consider that it's ''still'' memorable despite all the cameos and hijinks running around all around her.
** Michael Jordan makes a little cameo in the jungle scene.
* QuestionableCasting: The Tasmanian Devil, the wildest of the ''Looney Tunes'' characters, is voiced by...Creator/BrendanFraser. Yeah. Wrap your head around that. To Fraser's credit, though, he does make for a spot-on Taz.
* SoOkayItsAverage:
** To some fans, especially at the time of release. While not considered the ''best'' Looney Tunes film, especially when the live-action parts start to drag, many people consider it superior to ''Film/SpaceJam'' and many more say it handles its source material a lot better. It has gotten more loved over time, though a fair chunk of fans still find it to be just fine rather than anything special.
** Generally, the video game is deemed as this. While it's not a ''horrible'' game (by Looney Tunes standards at least), it's a very basic and bland platformer that loosely follows the plot of the movie, and there's not much else to it.
* SpecialEffectFailure: While the film handles the RogerRabbitEffect quite well for the most part, the CGI in other places, most notably the spy car and the RobotDog, is pretty obvious and really sticks out.
** The fight scene in Las Vegas makes it obvious at several points that Sam and his goons are not actually interacting with DJ and vice-versa due to some shoddy compositing.
** The aliens in Area 52 also fall into this. While the cameos fall into StylisticSuck due to their 1950s origins, the one that runs past when the group first arrive is one of the uglier CGI effects in the film.
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: From a critical eye (without letting nostalgia or GuiltyPleasure be the judge), everyone tends to agree this movie is a decent improvement over ''Film/SpaceJam'', sticking much truer to the spirit of the source material and avoiding the many UnintentionalPeriodPiece pitfalls that it fell into. While still a divisive movie in its own right, it generally carries a more positive reputation than its predecessor.
* UnexpectedCharacter: The game includes nearly all the major players in the ''Looney Tunes'' roster, including a few extras as bosses (such as Blacque Jacque Shellacque and Toro the bull), but a recurring extra is Owl Jolson from ''WesternAnimation/ILoveToSinga''.
* ThatOneBoss: The final boss in the game can be very devious to figure out since it uses a completely new and unwieldy control scheme used nowhere else, and the game never tells you this. In order to beat it, you have to somehow figure out that you need to use ''both control sticks'' to attack, which again, the game never tells you. And if you lose the fight, you go all the way back to the boulder section with Bugs and have to sit through all of the cutscenes again.
* ThatOneLevel: Yosemite's Miner's Millions in Wooden Nickel. The whole level takes place on a roller coaster where the player, as Bugs, needs to pop 30 balloons in order to catch up to Daffy. Problem is, not only is the roller coaster moving at a high speed, there's also bombs scattered throughout the track and no health pickups anywhere, meaning three hits and you're going back to the beginning. Beating it requires having quick reflexes to both see and dodge the bombs (again, while you're on a fast moving vehicle), while you also need to keep adjusting your angle to hit the balloons. It's a jarring DifficultySpike that occurs in the middle of an otherwise easy game, and no other level requires this amount of perfection (well, required anyway). Which brings us to...
* ThatOneSidequest: The Jungle Ruins bonus level, requiring you to reach ''300'' MPH. Problem is, at higher speeds, the game begins throwing a very large amount of cars at you, which require ''very'' quick reflexes to dodge due to the speed Wile E. Coyote is travelling at. And you can only take three hits before you lose and have to restart the entire level from the beginning. Oh, and even if you reach 300 MPH, it's still entirely possible to hit a car and lose since the level doesn't actually end until a second or two after reaching the target speed.
* ValuesDissonance: Ironically, the scene of Kate invoking this on Bugs's WholesomeCrossdresser tendencies ("Then, funny; now, disturbing.") has become this itself, as the CreepyCrossdresser trope has become increasingly [[DiscreditedTrope discredited]] in the following decades; in fact, Bugs' crossdressing has even received more positive reevaluations in recent years as a result of that shift in attitudes.
* VindicatedByHistory:
** When the film was first released, it was released to a very mixed reception and performed so badly that it essentially killed off theatrical WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes films til ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy''. In more recent memory however, several fans have come to reevaluate the film and found that, while it’s no masterpiece and has its problems, it’s a fun movie with many enjoyable and funny moments throughout the film. Many even consider it to be an even better ''Looney Tunes'' film than the far more popular ''Film/SpaceJam'', due to being closer to the spirit of the shorts and the characters. The mixed-to-negative reactions to ''Space Jam A New Legacy'' have also helped put the film in a better light in comparison.
** The human characters, while still considered a SpotlightStealingSquad, have also gotten far more well liked. DJ is seen as an endearing underdog who is equal parts goofy and badass (being played by Creator/BrendanFraser helps), and Kate is liked for being a good no-nonsense foil to the rest of the cast and especially for being a strong criticism of corporate decisions. Some fans find them more interesting and better integrated into the Looney Tunes universe than either Michael Jordan or [=LeBron=] James in their movies.
** Similar to ''Space Jam'', the film’s BreakingTheFourthWall and BitingTheHandHumor, especially concerning Warner Bros. for its handling of the IP/characters they own (such as the Looney Tunes), has only become more apt and true in the years since. You can even make a case for the film predicting the future of the company.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: It's generally agreed that Bugs, Daffy, and Elmer's chase sequence through the Louvre is the absolute best scene in the entire movie.
