    The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie

    ★★★½

    Not every joke lands, but most do, and some had me rolling laughing for minutes at a time. Petunia Pig is awesome, great for the writers to treat the new character with such respect while giving her a distinct and fresh role within the looney tunes cast. Fun stuff hope they make more.

    ★★★★½

    The prison-industrial complex as an exaggeration of reality, yet really not much of a fantasy. What IS a fantasy is the superhero more or less single-handedly solving the problem with basic logical humanity, along with a dose of practical invincibility. But I'd be flat out lying if I were to fault the movie on those grounds; this sort of story captures imaginations and hearts For Good Reason.
