Key Moments:

Opening chaos – Jo’s pure excitement for a new Looney Tunes film + Amelie’s nostalgic French childhood memories of Bugs Bunny & historical cartoon jokes

Main plot & twist – Porky and Daffy’s origin story, bubblegum aliens, and how they save the day without ever quite getting along

Character study – Daffy’s wild antics push boundaries (Amelie: “You can’t do that!” Jo: “It’s cartoons!”), yet the duo’s odd-couple dynamic shines

Jo’s big take – Thrilled by the updated-but-classic hand-drawn style, voice cast nostalgia (Eric Bauza, Candi Milo, Carlos Alazraqui), and how it feels like childhood + adult brain at the same time

Amelie’s reflection – Loves the timeless Tex Avery-style humor mixed with modern touches; appreciates the smart, layered jokes that hit different for kids vs adults (and yes, some French-kissing-level cheekiness)

WTF moment – That one dark lab/monster suspense scene that genuinely builds tension — Amelie warns it might scare younger kids, Jo shrugs “I grew up on Faces of Death”
