I can see why executives at Warner might think his wouldn’t make money. I can imagine them saying “it’s too old school for modern audiences,” and that may be true. I’m not sure I would have enjoyed this as much if I hadn’t grown up watching the Looney Tunes from the Thirties and Forties. The best parts were when the movie leaned into the new weirdness of things like Farmer Jim (a character I will not spoil here), or when they went way back to the original, truly screwy Daffy Duck from his very first appearances.
FARMER JIM 4 EVER!
