History YMMV / LooneyTunesBackInAction

** Speedy Gonzales complains about political correctness ruining his career, but he's gotten ''way'' more exposure since 2003--in part because of Warner Bros casting the character with Hispanic voices such as Fred Armisen and Dino Andrade and presenting him in a more authentic light, both moves some decry as politically correct (and some praise as good representation).

* CriticalResearchFailure: ''Persistence of Memory'' is actually on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and ''A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte'' is at the Art Institute of Chicago. Both are depicted at being in the Louvre.

** This film flopped in the box office compared to ''Film/SpaceJam'' which was a box office success. A case of irony.

** Nor would this be the last time that Mr. Dalton and Creator/BrendanFraser [[Series/DoomPatrol2019 worked together.]]
** Remember the part where the crew was filming a ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' movie? [[{{Defictionalization}} Fortunately,]] [[Film/BatmanBegins they got it finished.]]

** The human characters, while still considered a SpotlightStealingSquad, have also gotten more well liked. Some fans find them more interesting and better integrated into the Loony Tunes universe than either Michael Jordon or LeBron James in their movies.

* 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.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus of the film. While not considered the BEST Looney Tunes film, especially when the live actor parts start to drag, many people consider it superior to ''Film/SpaceJam'' and many more say it handles its source material a lot better.

* VindicatedByHistory: Sort of. 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. Some even consider it to be an better ''Looney Tunes'' film than the far more popular ''Film/SpaceJam'', due to being closer to the spirit of the shorts and the characters.

* 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.

* FleetingDemographicRule: Elmer chasing Bugs and Daffy into Edvard Munch's ''The Scream'' was a recycling of a gag created more than a decade before in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', and used the exact same music from "Pictures at an Exhibition" as background both times.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Bugs spends just about the entire movie being nicer to Daffy than he usually is in the cartoons (well, maybe not the ''entire'' movie) and was the only one who knew right from the start that firing him was a bad idea. He looked like he genuinely felt sorry for him after the main page quote.

** 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. The audience does love Daffy, but primarily they love to see Daffy suffer.
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: 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 embarrassments.

** Other pieces Used: Vivaldi's "Mandolin Concerto" and "Alla Rustica", and Offenbach's "Can Can".

* HoYay: Whether or not Bugs is really that depressed without Daffy, he certainly goes to pretty great lengths to get him back. His less-than-family-friendly humor is also lampshaded by the female executive:

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Daffy. An underlying theme of the movie can be said to be of his designated ButtMonkey status and unappreciated role in comparison to Bugs Bunny. The movie outright lampshades the fact that despite his unpopularity, he is out and out ''pivotal'' to the show, and Kate even frustratedly points out how no one and yet ''everyone'' can love him at the same time. This is what leads to the page quote about how while Daffy has to endure pain to get laughs, Bugs just has to 'munch on a carrot' to be effortlessly lovable. Whether intentional or not, after this movie was released, Warner Bros. ironically started to focus a LOT more on Daffy rather than just on Bugs. Besides merchandising, he got [[WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers his own series]], and takes [[SpotlightStealingSquad much of the focus]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow''. Guess Bugs [[{{Defictionalization}} really did]] speak up to those Warner Brothers on Daffy's behalf...
* 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's crossdressing has even received more positive reevaluations in recent years as a result of that shift in attitudes.
* 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.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The tie-in game for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube is a lousy 3D platformer with a [[CameraScrew horrible camera]], confusing objectives, obnoxious sound design and boring, monotonous gameplay. On the plus side, it does have a good deal of variety when it comes to its minigames.

* TierInducedScrappy: Daffy in the video game. He trades the DoubleJump for a flutter ability to allow him to reach farther off platforms, but unfortunately this only comes into play very situationally, and in a 3D platform game like this the higher jump is far more mandatory. Furthermore, a skilled player can jump pretty far with Bugs to begin with if they time the second jump right, further negating much need for Daffy's ability. The only times the player will be calling for Daffy is more often because they need to swim or use him for a button or costume rather than because the platforming calls for it.

* TheScrappy: You're not very likely to find people who actually like DJ or Kate due to not being particularly interesting characters on their own, and hogging the spotlight away from the Looney Tunes.

'''Chairman''': Oh, [[ILied he's waiting for a train.]]\\

** Daffy crashes the Batmobile into the Warner Studio's water tower, causing it to topple down... and somehow, [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Yakko, Wakko and Dot]] don't come spilling out of it. Sadly, Warner Bros. has a nasty habit for pretending they never existed. [[HilariousInHindsight Oddly enough]], the [[WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020 2020 series]] did indeed show show that the Warner Brothers (and Sister) were kicked out of the tower for 22 years.

** Considering the ExecutiveMeddling and all the cut scenes from original drafts, this can be said for quite a bit of the film unfortunately.
