Porky Pig and Daffy Duck venture to the big screen as unlikely heroes and Earth’s only hope when their antics uncover a secret alien mind control plot. Faced with cosmic odds, the two are determined to save their town (and the world!)... that is, if they don’t drive each other totally looney in the process. This richly crafted, hand-drawn adventure marks the first fully animated feature-length film in Looney Tunes history, told on a scope and scale that’s truly out of this world.PG | 91min
Joshua Moshier is a three-time Emmy®-nominated composer, songwriter, and pianist. He is known for composing the main title theme to IFC’s Documentary Now! starring Bill Hader and Fred Armisen, and most recently scored the theatrical release The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, now streaming on HBO Max.
Joshua made his scoring debut with the cult FX series Baskets, starring Zach Galifianakis and Louie Anderson. Subsequent projects include the Peacock series Mr. Throwback starring Steph Curry and Adam Pally, and the Apple TV+ limited series The Shrink Next Door from showrunner Georgia Pritchett, starring Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. He has scored and conducted over 500 minutes of shorts for Warner Bros. Animation’s flagship series Looney Tunes Cartoons.
His latest release is Semipermanence, a dreamy and genre-fluid debut that was named a best new album by All Songs Considered from NPR Music, and playlisted by Spotify Editorial’s State of Jazz. The album premiered with a quartet of videos created by Micah Gardner, including Listen to Semipermanence with Fred Armisen. Semipermanence is streaming on all music services.
Joshua’s work as a pianist and composer has been profiled on NPR and cited by the Chicago Tribune for “considerable lyric grace and compositional forethought."
Alex Kirwan is an Emmy® award-winning producer, art director, writer, visual development artist, and designer whose career in animation has spanned over twenty-five years. Alex has worked at Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney, and Warner Bros. on over a dozen productions, in a variety of capacities, in a career that began at age 18 when he placed in a Hanna-Barbera storyboarding contest that he was too young to enter. He has made bold visual statements as an art director on quirky original series such as Craig McCracken's Wander Over Yonder for Disney and My Life as a Teenage Robot for Nickelodeon. Also, his deep love of classic animation has guided him in modernizing beloved classic characters and franchises, as he did with his design work on the award-winning Mickey Mouse shorts, and on the new DuckTales series, and as supervising producer on the critically acclaimed Looney Tunes Cartoons shorts on HBOMAX. He has been nominated for five Asifa Annie Awards and three Emmy Awards from the Television Academy, with one primetime Emmy win for his work on the Cartoon Network series Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
