Over the past months, many bad things have been said about this movie by so-called "insiders," including that production halted to fix the script, the movie's animation was taking too long, the script is awful, and other things. However, Animated Movies (http://animated-movies.squareworld.com/News.html) posted some positive comments on the movie:
'Sir Farticus' caught a screening of the Warner Bros movie earlier this week "and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. I saw a screening back in July, and this screening was 10 fold better. The only real thing that bugged me was a CG dog at the end of the film, not many people seem to be real crazy about that one. Not sure whose idea that was... But honestly, I think this is most likely the closest we'll get to the Looney Tunes without resurrecting Chuck Jones or Bob Clampet or one of those guys. And once again, it's because of Eric Goldberg, ladies and gentlemen! The screening had me laughing out loud, which is tough to do. Steve Martin rules in the film, most of the jokes do really well, there's even a nice little semi-emotional moment with Daffy. The color on the characters looks really really nice! Some might say it's a little overtoned, but I think it fits. I predict that people will think it's CG because of how much form the 'Lumo' program gives them. The program takes the clean-ups and basis that off of where the shadows and highlights will be. As a whole I was very pleased--I really hope it does well, 2D needs a hit!"
And today, another item was posted:
'Sir Farticus' confirms that the nearly final version of the WB movie is a lot funnier than previously reported. "The screening in July [had] embarrassingly bad humor. But they really turned it around. The other amazing thing in the film is the Louvre sequence, where Bugs and Daffy are chased by Elmer through the Louvre. As they jump in and out of several famous paintings, they adapt to the style in which the painting was made; i.e. pointelism, and other styles. It looked incredible! I think it's something the animation community is gonna rave about!"
