(November 13, 2003 – Los Angeles, CA) – On Wednesday, November 12th, Los Angeles County declared November 15th the official “Looney Tunes Back in Action Day” in honor of the release of the live-action adventure “Looney Tunes: Back in Action,” starring Brendan Fraser, Jenna Elfman and Steve Martin. The proclamation was made by County Supervisor Yvonne Brathwaite Burke.

Set in a live-action world in which Warner Bros. Animation’s beloved assortment of irreverent entertainers interact with human characters for maximum comic effect, “Looney Tunes: Back in Action” unfolds on the Studio backlot and careens all over the map in time-honored Looney Tunes style. Directed by Joe Dante, the film also stars Timothy Dalton and Joan Cusack, with Heather Locklear. Produced by Paula Weinstein and Bernie Goldmann, “Back in Action” is written by Larry Doyle. The film’s executive producers are Chris deFaria and Larry Doyle.
“Looney Tunes: Back In Action” will be distributed worldwide in 2003 by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
“Looney Tunes: Back In Action” has been rated “PG” by the MPAA for some mild language and innuendo.
