And that, perhaps, is the single greatest problem with this film. This is not, of course, a re-visitation in its purest form, since 'Back in Action,' like 1996's 'Space Jam,' is actually a modernized hybrid combining live action with animation. Yet, for those of us who are die-hard aficionados, 'Looney Tunes: Back in Action' is a decidedly depressing experience, proving, once again, that when it comes to revisiting one's childhood, a person truly can't go home again. Like so many of my generation, I was virtually raised on these works from infancy on up. I bow to no one in my love and admiration for those classic Warner Brothers cartoons of the 1940's and 1950's.
