WMG / Looney Tunes: Back in Action

Go To

DJ wasn't fired just because he crashed the Batmobile into the WB water tower...
It was because the aforementioned destruction of the tower let out the Warner Brothers and Sister again after the studio had spent so much effort trying to re-capture them (99 episodes) the last time they got out. Because DJ caused their release while trying to catch Daffy, he became a convenient scapegoat for once again allowing them free reign to cause their usual havoc around the lot.
  • Ralph the Guard: (chasing after the Warners) Thanks a lot, Drake!
  • Jossed. Yakko, Wakko and Dot never even get their cameo appearances despite that happening. However, it is possible that they managed to escape again, only offscreen.
    • Double Jossed. The revival reveals that the Warners actually left the tower for the 22 years between the original series and now. As such, they simply weren't there to escape in 2003.

Mr.Chairman is a descendant of Marvin K. Acme
When Acme was murdered, ownership of his Gag company was passed on to his next of kin, and was eventually inherited by Mr. Chairman. However, unlike Acme, who was on good terms with toons and eagerly supplied them with his company's products, Chairman was only interested in the money and only wanted to churn out more products to make himself rich, hence his obsession with the Blue Monkey Diamond.

Daffy's unpopularity is an act to keep his ego manageable
As lampshaded in the film, Daffy somehow manages to be loved yet unloved by the whole audience. He's considered unpopular and yet the crowd is awestruck when he runs around the Warner lot. He's also an extremely difficult and egomaniacal performer. So how do they keep him under control? Convince him he's dispensable and "fire" him to take him down a peg, at least until next Monday. This is why Kate gets in hot water, since she wasn't in on the charade and throws Daffy out for real. Notice Bugs tries to prevent this without breaking the act.

TBA.
