King Tweety is the Morbius of Looney Tunes movies

This film is so fricking bad, like for real. It is worse than Space Jam 2. So yeah, recently King Tweety was released. This was the second Tweety movie ever released, and probably the last one because it is just... It's so fricking bad. I kid you not when I call this the "Morbius" of Looney Tunes movies. It's fricking rancid. The plot is that Tweety is the next in line for the throne of a faraway kingdom after its ruler disappeared.

So right away, that seems like it could be a decent setup for a Tweety and Sylvester movie. Tweety tries to rule over a kingdom, Sylvester constantly tries to eat him. Well, yeah, it doesn't pan out that way... Because it turns out that these evil dogs are out to kill Tweety, so they capture him and Aoogah. Wait, who the heck is Aoogah?! Yeah, Aoogah was a character from the first Tweety movie, so maybe this is a sequel? To be fair, I don't think anyone really cares.

Anyway, the first thing you might notice upon watching the trailer or the film itself is that the animation is absolute trash. It's that "crummy modern cartoon" look you see in all these cheaply animated Cartoon Network and Nick shows, but with somehow even less charm. Sylvester and Tweety look like shit, which also fits with their characterization.

Yes, Sylvester and Tweety learn the importance of family and refer to each other as brothers. Yes, I am not fricking with you. These two characters who ARE BUILT ENTIRELY UPON THEIR RIVALRY are now considered family, it's like Fast and The Furious with furries. So basically, Fast and The Furriest.

And you know what, that'd be fine if this wasn't a Looney Tunes movie. Much like with Space Jam 2, they put too much stock into the family aspect when Looney Tunes was never about this. It was about the rivalries between these characters, the comedic slapstick, the misadventures. Most people who watch Looney Tunes (even kids) already know the importance of family, they just want to see people dropping anvils on each other's heads and smacking them with hammers.

Generally, this movie feels like a waste of great characters. And not just Tweety, Sylvester, and Granny, Dan Backslide shows up for a pointless and random cameo too. Yes, they got the unforgettable villain from the Dover Boys to cameo in this shit-piece of a movie.

And I guess I have to talk about the finale, it is really bad. For some reason, and I SHIT YOU NOT, the ending to this film is basically a Shonen anime. Sylvester has to defeat these evil anthro dogs (yes, this film takes place in this weird world of highly stylized anthros that barely look toon-like, with only a few humans around) and manages to seemingly kill them. Don't worry, they get better!

Sylvester then goes to save Tweety and Aoogah, only to be confronted by the main villain who is some evil dog wizard guy. He then does an anime transformation (again, fricking seriously), turns into this roided out mess. They then have one of the most fetish-fueled fights I have ever seen in animation.

It's this dog wizard turning them into all this nonsense shit. Turns Sylvester into a snail, into a POTTY, turns them into all this random crap. This fight goes on for like 10-15 minutes, seriously it's insane. This film is an hour and 20 minutes long, but it honestly feels like it goes on for hours due to the abysmal pacing and lack of any direction with what's going on.

Anyway, Sylvester, Tweety, and Aoogah, use the power of family and the spirits of a bunch of Tweety birds (and Larry Bird, who I guess died in this film's universe) to defeat the evil dog wizard. He gets vored by a Roomba, our heroes celebrate, and I guess Sylvester and Tweety are just forever cool now. Sylvester doesn't go back to chasing Tweety, their eternal rivalry is at an end. Goddammit.

This movie feels like a joke. It's one of those movies where it feels like you should be the one being paid to watch it, instead of being the one paying to watch it. The animation is really awful, all the side characters look off-brand and like they don't belong in Looney Tunes. Like, all of this money and animation could've gone to producing an ACTUAL Looney Tunes movie.

I mean heck, Sylvester and Tweety actually talk to Granny in this, a lot. Yeah, remember when she treated them like animals and they never spoke to her directly? Now they're basically her adopted kids, but animals.

This is just... This is so bad. I'm glad I didn't pay for this, my friend got it and I watched it in a livestream with other friends. That was literally the only thing that made this film bearable, just dunking on it with pals. Do not watch this movie, do not think of watching this movie, it is somehow even worse than Morbius. And I don't mean Morbius in the funny "ha ha, best movie ever!" meme way, I mean Morbius in the "this movie is fricking awful" way.
