The all important exchange with Daffy is missing however… “You jump into the lava with one ring!”
“No, you jump into the lava with the one ring!”
“No, you jump into the lava with the one ring!”
“No, you jump into the lava with the one ring!”
“NO! I’ll jump into the lava with the one ring!”
“NO! I’ll jump into the lava with the one ring!”
“NO! I’ll jump into the lava with the one ring!”
“NO! I’ll jump into the lava with the one ring! AND THAT’S FINAL!”
with Daffy’s beak eventually saying “You’re despicable.”
“DeSPicable”
Yup, if Bugs is Frodo, Daffy must be Sam. Elmer Fudd can be Gollum.
I would pay good money to watch this. Bugs as Frodo. Porky as Sam. Daffy as Gollum. Marvin the Martian as Sauron. Foghorn Leghorn as Gandalf; Barnyard Dawg as Saruman. Elmer Fudd as Aragorn. Yakko and Wakko as Merry and Pippin. Hello Nurse as Eowyn.
Totally on board, but you can’t have Yakko and Wakko without Dot.
Yakko as Sam, Wakko and Dot as Merry and Pippin.
Marvin the Martian as Sauron.
“Earth shattering kaboom” feels rather apt here.
Yosemite Sam could be the Balrog or Lertz.
I wanna see this version so bad now. Warner Bros please do something!
They’ll make it, preview audience will love it, some department president doesn’t get it so it’ll be shelved and never released for tax purposes.
All copies burned, test audiences killed, graves salted over.
Have they still not released Coyote vs ACME?
There’s first going to be a meta Looney Tunes heist movie where the gang steals the movie from a WB vault (inside the water tower) for the audiences to see.
And it’ll be unreleased too.
Yes. We need this!
As Daffy plummets he mutters “it’s mine. all mine.” The lava subsumes him, leaving the ring floating on the lava. As the metal melts and becomes hot lava, the screen image tears and Porky pops up, waving bye. “th th th That’s all folks!” Fade to black. There are no credits.
I feel like canonically the volcano can destroy the one ring but Daffy Duck has survived total body disintegratation without issue so would burst out burnt to a crisp and screaming with his tail feathers on fire.
He melts down to just his bill which floats next to the ring and mutters “you’re despicable.”
Daffy’s ethereal spirit shows up in Valinor complaining that he can only destroy the One Ring once.
he mutters “it’s mine. all mine.”
I want to hear Daffy or Sylvester saying “my precious!” at least once during the movie
I would love to hear him say it too but canonically it was “It’s mine. All mine!”
Yeah, I got the reference. I just think it would be funny if one of the characters with a lisp would be the one to say “precious”.
Imagine Porky Pig as Gollum.
They left out Weathertop.
When Bugs runs into the Nazgul, he goes into Nazgul drag and seduces the Witch King. He steps around the corner, drops a handkerchief, and calls out yoohoo at the Nazgul, who all start drooling and tumbling over themselves to pick up the handkerchief. Bugs walks passed them, giving each one a little attention and in the process ties their shoes together. After making it around all of them, he drops the handkerchief again and all the Nazgul fight over it, while Bugs zips off the tower leaving his drag clothes behind. One of the Nazgul realizes they were tricked and they all trip over their shoes tied together.
I’m gonna get high then come back and read this
I world watch the hell out of this cartoon.
Warner Bros owns both the rights to the LotR movies, and Looney Tunes. It can happen.
I’d totally watch that.
Yeah, you want Droopy on this job, not Bugs.
There’s a Speedy Gonzalez version that’s about 90% credits.
No, you don’t want to mix depression with psychosis.
They did Robin Hood, why not LotR?
I think because of copyright stuff. Once LOTR is public domain, it’s free game
Won’t Bugs Bunny go into the public domain before LotR does?
actually yes, there are actually some loony toons episodes which are currently in the public domain. So the only thing keeping this from happening is the will to do so.
Considering that this is goofy enough to be a parody, it’s fair game now.
MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Does Warner still hold the film rights of LotR? If so, this is entirely within their reach
still a better love story than twilight.
Better writing than 95% of movies that came out in the last 10 years.
LOTR’s shaky copyright in the US could have made this happen for real. We came so close.
All of this starts with a slow pan across Hobbiton’s doors, ending at Bugs with a rabbit-hole and a chaise-longue. Some wizard stands in his sunlight, asking where he can find Bag End, and Bugs hassles him so hard he gets stuck hosting thirteen Elmers Fudd.
