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"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Yup, if Bugs is Frodo, Daffy must be Sam. Elmer Fudd can be 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 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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Totally on board, but you can't have Yakko and Wakko without Dot.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

Yakko as Sam, Wakko and Dot as Merry and Pippin.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago

Marvin the Martian as Sauron.

"Earth shattering kaboom" feels rather apt here.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Yosemite Sam could be the Balrog or Lertz.

MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Does Warner still hold the film rights of LotR? If so, this is entirely within their reach

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I world watch the hell out of this cartoon.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Warner Bros owns both the rights to the LotR movies, and Looney Tunes. It can happen.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I wanna see this version so bad now. Warner Bros please do something!

[–] [email protected] 51 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Have they still not released Coyote vs ACME?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

All copies burned, test audiences killed, graves salted over.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Yes. We need this!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago

He melts down to just his bill which floats next to the ring and mutters “you’re despicable.”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Daffy's ethereal spirit shows up in Valinor complaining that he can only destroy the One Ring once.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

he mutters "it's mine. all mine."

I want to hear Daffy or Sylvester saying "my precious!" at least once during the movie

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I would love to hear him say it too but canonically it was "It's mine. All mine!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Imagine Porky Pig as Gollum.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago

I'm gonna get high then come back and read this

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

I'd totally watch that.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, you want Droopy on this job, not Bugs.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

There's a Speedy Gonzalez version that's about 90% credits.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

No, you don't want to mix depression with psychosis.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They did Robin Hood, why not LotR?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I think because of copyright stuff. Once LOTR is public domain, it's free game

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Considering that this is goofy enough to be a parody, it's fair game now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Won't Bugs Bunny go into the public domain before LotR does?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

still a better love story than twilight.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Better writing than 95% of movies that came out in the last 10 years.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

LOTR's shaky copyright in the US could have made this happen for real. We came so close.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

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.
