“Daffy’s Rhapsody” debuts in theaters February 10

Daffy’s Rhap­sody still

Movie­go­ers see­ing the 3D fam­ily adven­ture “Jour­ney 2: The Mys­te­ri­ous Island” are in for a bonus reel of laughs and action with Daffy’s Rhap­sody.

The orig­i­nal Looney Tunes car­toon short makes its the­atri­cal debut in tan­dem with the fea­ture film release from New Line Cin­ema and Warner Bros. Pic­tures, open­ing across the United States on Fri­day, Feb­ru­ary 10.

Three new images from this pic­ture have been released, and are nopw on the BCDB site. Click through the Car­toon Pic­tures From Daffy’s Rhap­sody link to see the newest images.

In Daffy’s Rhap­sody, a brand-new escapade star­ring Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck, a relax­ing evening at the the­ater turns into hunt­ing sea­son when Fudd is sur­prised by the unex­pected appear­ance of his per­pet­ual and ever-elusive tar­get, Daffy. As Elmer gives chase, Daffy clev­erly evades him while regal­ing the audi­ence with a song that illus­trates his plight — how hunters never leave him alone.

Fea­tur­ing an orig­i­nal story and all-new ani­ma­tion, the short stars the voice of the late, leg­endary Mel Blanc in Daffy’s song, recorded in the 1950s, along­side acclaimed voice actor Billy West’s cur­rent char­ac­ter­i­za­tion of Elmer Fudd. Directed by Matthew O’Callaghan, it is the sec­ond in a new series of three orig­i­nal 3D car­toon shorts cre­ated for the­atri­cal release, in keep­ing with Warner Bros. Animation’s com­mit­ment to present the Looney Tunes on the big screen as they were first enjoyed and embraced by audi­ences around the world.

Sam Reg­is­ter, exec­u­tive vice-president for cre­ative affairs of Warner Bros. Ani­ma­tion, served as exec­u­tive pro­ducer on Daffy’s Rhap­sody, as well as the first short of the series, last year’s I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat. He says, “Every­one grew up lov­ing the Looney Tunes char­ac­ters, and it has been both a great honor and an enor­mous chal­lenge to con­tinue the legacy of these ani­ma­tion icons and intro­duce them to a new gen­er­a­tion of fans. To hear the incom­pa­ra­ble Mel Blanc voic­ing these char­ac­ters once more is noth­ing short of a dream come true.”

As with Jour­ney 2: The Mys­te­ri­ous Island, Daffy’s Rhap­sody will screen in both 2D and 3D, and in IMAX where avail­able, in the­aters across the U.S.
