Seq. 26A - "LeBron Questions Bugs"
DRAMA
Bugs Bunny and LeBron James set out across the Warner Bros. Serververse aboard Marvin the Martian's commandeered ship, on a mission to recruit a championship caliber basketball team. I pitched this sequence with Bugs donning Marvin's iconic helmet. It became one of his signature looks for the film.

Seq. 34C - "Wile E. Coyote/Wizard of Oz"
COMEDY
We needed a quick showcase for The Wizard of Oz world. I suggested comically leaning into the 1939 film's obviously painted flat backdrop of Emerald City by having the Road Runner speed down the yellow brick road and enter the painting, only to have the pursuing Coyote slam into it. An oldie but a goodie.

Seq. 46A - "Marvin's B-Ball Court"
COMEDY
Director Malcolm Lee envisioned a high energy montage of the Looney Tunes’ lives flashing before their eyes as the command bridge floor drops out from below their feet, hurling them rapidly down a seemingly endless elevator shaft towards the bowels of Marvin's ship; the gags pretty much wrote themselves.

Seq. 46B - "Getting in Shape"
ACTION, COMEDY
LeBron attempts to retrain the Tune Squad on the fundamentals of basketball and get them back into fighting shape (it has been twenty-five years since their last game, after all). He has his job cut out for him, as the team's innate cartooniness and zany antics keep derailing his efforts.

Seq. 46C - "Scrimmage Game"
ACTION, COMEDY
Choreographing the Hero Tunes vs. Villain Tunes scrimmage game was a labor of love. This storyboard-driven sequence remained largely unaltered in the final film; vindication that absorbing a steady diet of Warner Bros. cartoons on Saturday mornings was not a wasted youth.

Sequence 46 Script Pages
While Daffy Duck isn't specifically singled out in the script pages for this sequence, his role as a foil to LeBron and Lola expanded in the story sketch phase. Originally scripted as a pep talk and a few missed layups, eventually this section evolved to include the Hero Tunes vs. Villain Tunes scrimmage game.
