Plot Overview: The Galactic Championship
After years of peace, the Looney Tunes gang—Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Lola Bunny, Taz, and the rest—have gone back to their wacky routines in the cartoon world. However, their hijinks are interrupted when a highly advanced alien race known as the Kozmos descends on Earth. The Kozmos challenge the Looney Tunes to an intergalactic basketball tournament with unimaginable stakes: if the Tune Squad loses, the Looney Tunes will be erased and replaced by the Kozmos’ “perfectly entertaining” creations.
To stand a chance, the Looney Tunes enlist NBA superstar Jalen Harris (played by Luka Dončić). At first, Jalen is baffled by the idea of teaming up with animated characters.
