This film, it would seem, takes place in the same universe as WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?, where cartoon characters are real and live amoungst humans, although you won't see any Disney characters here. (Although two Hanna Barbara characters, Scooby Doo and Shaggy, make a brief appearence.)
For anyone who doesn't know the plot already, it's about Daffy getting feed up with having to play the victim of Buggs and getting kicked off the Warner Bros. lot after demanding he be given his own picture, and he manages to get D.J., a security guard played by Brendon Fraiser, fired.
D.J. used to be a stuntman, and he tells Daffy and the audience at one point,"You know the Mummy movies? I did the stunts in them. I was in them more than that Brendon guy. Then he suddenly decided he wanted to do his own stunts."
D.J. is also the son of Drake, an actor famous for starring in spy movie, (played by Timothy Dalton, who played 007 in two movies,) who, as it turns out, really WAS a spy, unbeknownst to even D.J. Soon after coming home after losing his job, he gets a message from his dad who tells him he must go to retrieve a diamond known as the Blue Monkey that hides a special secret. (And no, I won't say what that is.) As his father is about to be captured when he sends the message, D.J. and Daffy must head out and find it before the evil Acme Corporation does.
Meanwhile, it is soon discovered that a feature-length Loony Toons movie can't be made without Daffy, so Buggs and the executive who fired him (Jenna Elfman) must head out to get him.
Lots of funny stuff here, ranging form the subtle to the unsubtle. For example, D.J. and Daffy head out on their quest for the Blue Monkey in an old Pinto that threatens to break down at any moment, and soon after leaving the family garage and driving away the floor turns over and there is a super-cool looking car that looks like it came from a James Bond movie that D.J. never even knew about. (Of course, by this time the two of them have already headed out in the Pinto and are gone.)
I read one critic review that complianed about some blatent commercial plugs in the film, including one where the heros go to Wall Mart. I can't really speak for the most of the other plugs in the film, but I can say that the one with Wall Mart is an intended joke-it's laughing at itself for being such an obvious plug. If you've alread seen the movie and you can't see that, then I have no hope for you.
