 Chicago Reader Movie Review
It's remarkable that Joe Dante, one of the most personal directors working in Hollywood, has never had or sought to have such a credit on his pictures.
The idea of a "Joe Dante movie" or a "movie by Joe Dante" is mainly a presumption of his fans, myself included, rather than a product sold by his employers.
And one has to be careful not to limit the cast list to the on-screen actors, because one actor, Joe Alaskey, furnished the voices of the two leads, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, and those of three secondary characters, Beaky Buzzard, Mama Bear, and Sylvester.

He plays DJ Drake, a wannabe stuntman who finds himself out of work and then finds himself on a treasure hunt with Daffy Duck (voiced by Joe Alaskey), who's been fired from a movie studio.
DJ and the pesky Daffy seek the Blue Monkey Diamond, a legendary jewel, and also want to rescue DJ's movie-star father (Timothy Dalton), who, as it turns out, also happens to be a secret agent.
And director Joe Dante's pacing really seems off, and there are some surprisingly mean-spirited and crude moments.

However, Joe Dante, the director of Looney Tunes: Back in Action has attempted to amend errors he saw in that film.
Back in Action all begins when the self centred Daffy Duck (Joe Alaskey) is fired from Warner Brothers for not being popular or even funny.
Joe Dante has obviously considered that many people like other characters such as Porky Pig or Speedy Gonzales and lets them have their moment, even if the stuttering pig and the Mexican mouse are talking about political correctness.

 KINNOPIO - Looney Tunes: Back in Action   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Looney Tunes: Back in Action is a celebration of the vast world of classic Warner Brothers cartoon characters, and it’s a reminder that those like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are still an important part of Hollywood history and comedy.
The film, directed by comic know-it-all Joe Dante, is a fitting acknowledgement of this, despite the fact that its story, written by Larry Doyle, is beyond ridiculous.
Director Joe Dante, however, does make his human characters the center of more than a few laughable moments.

 SPLICEDwire | "Looney Tunes: Back In Action" review (2003) Joe Dante, Brendan Fraser, Jenna Elfman, Bugs Bunny, Daffy ...
The best movie that bombed last year, this thing will play just fine on the small screen since it really is a "Looney Tunes" cartoon come to life, and TV is where we've been seeing "Looney Tunes" for the last 40 years.
Despite the dedication and adoration director Joe Dante clearly brought to this film, there's no commentary track and only a cursory, slap-dash making-of featurette aimed at kids in which nobody even bothered to sync the voices of Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny.
Paying clever homage to its source material in almost every scene, and bursting at the seams with hilarious B-movie sci-fi and pop culture references, it's a smorgasbord of silliness peppered with surprisingly sharp digs at the shallow, money-driven culture of the studio system.

Few cartoons today really tap into the anarchic wit and rapid-fire aggression so common to these classic shorts.
In the end, any fan of the original "Looney Tunes" series has to thank the powers that be that Joe Dante was chosen to helm Back in Action.
Dante is a die-hard movie buff and his knowledge of and appreciation for sci-fi/horror films, comic books, and cartoons—an entire pulpy universe of gloriously "disreputable" cultural detritus—makes for a few bright moments.
