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 Roman helmet.  It became one of his signature looks for the film.

Seq. 34C - "Wile E. Coyote/Wizard of Oz"

COMEDY

We needed a clever yet brief showcase for Wizard of Oz world. I suggested wryly poking fun at the original 1939 film's fake looking flat backdrop of Emerald City by having 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 (PART ONE) - "Marvin's B-Ball Court"

COMEDY

Director Malcolm Lee wanted me to play around with a concept he had: come up with an energetic montage of the Tunes plummeting down a seemingly endless elevator shaft towards the bowels of Marvin's ship, their lives hysterically flashing before their eyes.  The gags pretty much wrote themselves.

Seq. 46B (PART TWO) - "Getting in Shape"

ACTION, COMEDY

LeBron retrains the Tune Squad on basketball fundamentals, getting them back into fighting shape (it has been 25 years since their last game, after all).  Choreographing the Looney Tunes scrimmage game was a labor of love, vindication that my absorbing a steady diet of WB cartoons was not a wasted youth.

"Getting In Shape" Script Pages

Originally scripted as a pep talk and a few missed layups, this sequence evolved to eventually include the Hero Tunes vs. Villain Tunes scrimmage game, a storyboard-driven assignment given to me late in production.  Also not in the script was Daffy's usurping control of the team by declaring himself captain.
