The past couple years have been something of a roller coaster for the Looney Tunes, with movies being shelved, movies eventually being un-shelved, and TV shows exiting streaming services. Thankfully, things seem to be looking up for the iconic animation franchise. Coyote Vs. Acme is finally set for a theatrical release, and a new big screen adventure featuring Porky and Daffy is about to make its streaming debut.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie hit theaters earlier this year, making it the first fully-animated Looney Tunes feature to be released on the big screen. In just a few weeks, that movie is going to hit the world of streaming, with an exclusive premiere on HBO Max.
On Monday, it was announced that The Day the Earth Blew Up would begin streaming on June 27th, exclusively on Max. While fans will certainly be excited to see the acclaimed new Looney Tunes movie online, the timing may be a little frustrating, as it arrives just after Max dumped a lot of its Looney Tunes catalogue.
For those who aren’t familiar, The Day the Earth Blew Up focuses on just two of the iconic Looney Tunes characters, chronicling the rise of adopted brothers Daffy Duck and Porky Pig as they attempt to save the world from an alien mind-control scheme.
If you don’t want to wait for the June streaming release on Max, The Day the Earth Blew Up is getting a Blu-ray release on May 27th. You can pre-order a copy here.
