Bugs Bunny: Mystery Solver/Tropes


 * Affably Evil: Marvin tries to conquer Earth, but he is still a rather nice guy.
 * Affectionate Parody: Of noir films. Looney Tunes-style of course.
 * Awesome Art: The animation here is splendid. With its highly fluid moments, particularly for its slapstick sequences, the film looks and feels like a modernized version of Chuck Jones' classic work.
 * Big Bad: Marvin the Martian
 * Butt-Monkey: All Daffy does in the fuom is suffer and be humilliated.
 * The Cameos: Plenty of Looney Tunes characters get a time in the spotkight in this movie:
 * The Road Runner appears during Sylvester's flashback as a paper boy.
 * Speedy Gonzales appears as Bugs' informant (he us not a criminal, but his small size abd speed makes him almost invisible to criminals).
 * Sam Sheepdog appears as a bodyguard in Foghorn Leghorn's club, with Ralph Wolf as an uninvited guest.
 * The Warner Siblings appear as a trio sneaking themselves into the club in a disguise.
 * Pete Puma appears as a waiter.
 * Wile E. Coyote appears as a test dummy in ACME Labs.
 * Some of Marvin's hostages include the Tazmanian Devil, Ham & Ex from "I Haven't Got a Hat", Dr. IQ, Slappy Squirrel, and Nasty Canasta.
 * Babs and Buster appear as kids hired by Daffy to find their toys.
 * Duck Season, Rabbit Season: Bugs uses this to trick Marvin into allowing him to pull a lever that causes a box to fall on Marvin.
 * Fridge Brilliance:
 * Even throigth the Warner Sinlings are the lead characters on Animaniacs, they have small cameos here, while Pinky and the Brain and Slappy Squirrel have bigger roles. However, this makes more sense when you conskder that the Looney Tunes only made cameos in the Warners' storues, whereas Pinky & the Brsjn and Slappy have a much stronger connection to the franchise:mSlappy's backstory is that, in-universe, she was a former Looney Tune herself. Meanwhile, Pinky and the Brain lived and worked at ACME Labs.
 * Marvin blasts Brain for his betrayal with a blast so powerful Brain's lab is destroyed. Makes sense. As we saw in The Hasty Hare, mutinies make him very angry.
 * He Knows Too Much: As it turns out, Tweety was kidnapped by Marvin after he found out his plans to conquer the Earth.
 * Hypocrite: Near the end, Daffy accuses Bugs of dropping the Tweety case to get sometgujg that benefits him. As it turns out, he did ñreciseky that: Babs and Buster Bunny hired him to find whoever stole their toys, but dropped that case to beat Bugs on his.
 * I Resemble That Remark: When Sam is told by Marvin to be kill Bugs covertky, Sam asks if he thinjs he is some trigger-happy maniac. Not a second after the call, Sam tries to shoot a fly that was bothering him.
 * It's All About Me: The only reason Daffy became a private detective was to one-up Bugs. He fails miserably, like always.
 * Mythology Gag:
 * Pete Puma plays a waiter, he previously appeared as one in The Looney Tunes Show episode "Sunday Night Slice".
 * Marvin shoots Bugs with a straitjacket-ejecting bazooka to capture him, much like in the short "The Hasty Hare".
 * Bugs pulling a lever so something falls over Marvin is a nod to one of his moves in the mobile game Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem.
 * Marvin's plot involves inserting tons of Instant Martians on the Earth's water supplies; the ending for the short "Hare Way to the Stars" had Bugs accidentally throw some Instant Martians into the sewer.
 * Marvin blasts someone througth a TV, much oike he did in the first Duck Dodgers short.
 * Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Played for Laughs. After helping Marvin with his plan, Brain reveals to Pinky that he plans on betraying the Martian to take over the world... Only for him to discover Pinky left the TV on because he likes the Instant Martians. Marvin promtly blasts him as a result. From the TV. And blowing up their laboratory.
 * Role Reprise:
 * Most of the cast returns from previous Looney Tunes productions to reprise their roles.
 * Gabriel Iglesias reprises his role as Speedy Gonzales from Space Jam: A New Legacy.
 * Jess Harnell, Tress MacNeille, and Rob Ñaulsen reprise their roles as the Warner Siblings.
 * MacNeille also reprises her role from Tiny Toon Adventures as Babs Bunny, as does John Kassir as Buster.
 * Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Daffy quits being a detective when Bugs one-ups him again near the end of the film.
 * Tempting Fate: Daffy does it 3 times in a row near the end:
 * First, he claims to have fou d Tweeyñty, only to fimd out he is back at his oen house.
 * Second, he argues that he is still better than Bugs bevause he seemingly hid. Cue Bugs falling from the sky on the Martian Maggot, with Marvin at hand.
 * And third, he accuses Bugs of leaving the case, on.y for Bugs to reveal he found Tweety and Buster and Babs Bunny that Daffy did left the case he was hired for.
 * Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Sylvester openly admits trying to eat Tweety. Since theybare neighboors in this version, he is arrested for that.
 * Unexpected Charaxcter:
 * No one expected the show announcer at Foghorn Leghorn's club to be Melissa Duck.
 * Even more unexpected were Ham and Ex, given how their only appearance was in "I Haven't Got a Hat", back in 1935.
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: Bugs disguises himself as a women when inside Leghorn's club.
