The film was directed by Jeff Siergey, a supervising animator on Space Jam and lead animator on Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

Plot
From his headquarters, billionaire Hiram Bunny (who is designed after Lola's father in Dating Do's and Don'ts), his intern Pete Puma, and chauffeur Cecil Turtle conducted an operation on a mountain in the central Mexican jungle. The objective of the operation was to extract a rare flower, as everyone believed it to be the world's most powerful weapon that Hiram planned to exploit. However, they were beaten to it by Speedy Gonzales.

In Los Angeles, in the Acme Department Store, Lola Bunny, Hiram’s niece, was tired of working for her uncle at the perfume counter. Lola got fired by Hiram when she accidentally damaged the store. Lola then had an awkward ride in the car with her boyfriend Bugs Bunny, who coincidentally has the same last name as Lola. Bugs then drove Lola to Petunia Pig’s baby shower, where Petunia was pregnant with Porky’s child. The guests at the baby shower were Witch Lezah, Porky Pig, Rodney Rabbit, Gossamer, Daffy Duck, Tina Russo, Foghorn Leghorn, Pete Puma, and Marvin the Martian. Witch Lezah was disappointed in Lola because her uncle Hiram wanted to tear down the school that her son Gossamer went to so he could expand his department store. However, Bugs and Tina defend Lola’s actions with Lola deciding to talk to her uncle about it even though Hiram was Lola’s father’s estranged brother, as Bugs pointed out. It was the reason Hiram didn’t show up to his and Lola’s wedding in Member’s Only. Porky proposed marriage to Petunia during the shower only for Petunia to politely reject his proposal. This then led to a heated argument in the baby shower between Porky and Petunia as Porky didn’t want his child to become illegitimate. Petunia then left to be in another room with Tina and Lola where Petunia started crying because of her fight with Porky.

When Lola returned to her apartment after comforting Petunia with Tina, she screamed when she saw a mouse, even though it was her landlord, Speedy. Lola was annoyed with Speedy for not showing up at Petunia’s baby shower since Porky invited him. Lola also decided to tell Speedy about Porky and Petunia’s fight. Speedy gave Lola the flower to give to Petunia as a gift, unaware it was being watched by Hiram.

Hiram sent his chauffeur Cecil and his goons to get the flower, though Lola used it to create her perfume for Petunia to cheer her up, which had a side effect of invisibility. She didn’t notice as she accidentally sprayed her eye, forcing her to wash it out, rendering her visible. As Bugs was driving Daffy home, Daffy was annoyed at what Petunia had to cry about and complained about Porky wanting to marry Petunia. Bugs pointed out that Daffy was in a relationship with Tina and will someday have to propose to her. Much to Bugs’ annoyance, Daffy planned on proposing to Tina someday in the future when she had a better job and could give them a lifestyle they both deserved. Daffy then pointed out that Bugs would have to marry Lola eventually which put Bugs deep in thought. Cecil and his goons attempted to retrieve the flower from Lola only for Lola back out the window after calling Bugs for help. On the way down, the perfume made the wall invisible exposing, it to successive apartments.

Hiram put out a $700,000 reward for Bugs and Lola, and Yosemite Sam, who was preparing to rob a bank with a short-range water pistol, learned of it and apprehended them. However, he refused to hand them to Cecil until after he got the money, and a one-sided gunfight ensued between Yosemite and Cecil’s men. Lola and Bugs escape and slip down a storm drain. Cecil was surprised to learn that Bugs was dating Lola. In the storm drain, Bugs was surprised that Lola knew her way around the storm drain and Lola revealed that she had to avoid a hotdog vendor. While walking with Lola in the sewers, Bugs realized that there was so much about Lola that he didn’t know about. Meanwhile, Daffy was confronted by Gossamer, asking him to help with the protests against Hiram’s plans for the school. Daffy didn’t want to at first, but Tina agreed to do it and forced Daffy to comply with it.

Bugs and Lola emerged through a manhole in front of Porky, who was still upset about his fight with Petunia, causing a traffic jam, but Hiram grabbed the perfume. Lola ran after him and got abducted by Cecil in a van. Cecil had a grudge against Bugs for sending him to prison when Bugs exposed a con that Cecil was running where Cecil tricked people into cracking his shell so he could get money. After Cecil went to prison, Hiram was amazed at Cecil’s con and pulled strings to prevent Cecil from going to prison after Cecil accepted a job offer from him. Bugs jumped in Daffy Duck’s parade float and followed them. At a secret location, Cecil and his goons waited for Bugs to arrive since they were using Lola as bait for a trap. After Cecil learned that Hiram had her perfume, he decided that there was a change in plans and to leave Lola to die. Bugs and Daffy managed to free Lola. Driving through the streets (and subway tunnels) of Los Angeles and running through the park, the rabbits make haste to the airport to find Hiram. Daffy became jealous of the ducks in the park and decided to move from Bugs’ home.

Sam followed Bugs and Lola to the airport, where she spotted Hiram, and they all boarded the plane as did Cecil. Bugs retrieved the perfume and made a parachute from clothes in passengers' checked baggage and, after a fight with Sam over the perfume, he and Lola landed in the Atlantic Ocean. The Goofy Gophers picked them up on their yacht, used the perfume, and discovered its invisibility property, albeit to Lola's dismay, but Bugs convinced her to focus on the positive. The Gophers subsequently gave Lola a makeover while singing a song.

They arrived in Paris, and Bugs and Lola sprayed themselves, subsequently having fun with their invisibility: stealing lemonade, smashing the Louvre Pyramid by playing baseball, going skiing in "Ze Alps", painting a picture of the perfume, and cramming several cars into the Arc de Triomphe. When it rained, the invisibility wore off and they found themselves caught between Hiram and Cecil at the Pont des Arts, Fudd holding the Gophers hostage. Cecil and his goons betrayed and disarmed Hiram and the goons he hired with heat ray pistols, and Bugs attempted to toss the bottle into the Seine to force Hiram to stand down, but Sam caught it. They all dogpiled on Sam but were suddenly teleported to a space station over Mars, where Marvin the Martian grabbed the bottle, with Cecil revealing he worked for Marvin. Cecil's goons unzipped their costumes revealing they are Instant Martians, much to Cecil's confusion. Marvin revealed his plan to make all of Earth invisible, as it "obstructs [his] view of Venus". That was the reason why Marvin didn’t show up at Porky and Petunia’s baby shower. High school was the worst time of Marvin’s life and he had been planning to do this since that time after graduation. To accomplish this, he extracted the invisibility part of the potion from the perfume part, but ended up with two identical bottles; one of them had invisibility and the other did not.

Bugs, Hiram, and Lola played switcheroo and ended up with both of them, handing Marvin a Joker card. They were chased to the Transporter Depot, but everyone crammed into one pod overloading the system and causing them all to switch heads, bodies, and other parts. They continued to play body part swap for a while and even Screwball Daffy from Duck Amuck walked across the scene, and they were eventually restored. Marvin caught them, grabbed the bottle, betrayed/fired Cecil, and sprayed the Earth with perfume, not knowing that Hiram had switched it so Earth doesn't turn invisible. To Marvin's fury, Bugs turned the group and himself invisible, allowing them to escape the Martians, and they board the Martian Maggot. Before they left, Bugs tossed Marvin the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, which Marvin was originally going to use to blow up Earth. Ironically, the Modulator blew up Mars instead, killing the Instant Martians and leaving Marvin hanging from a root, remarking "I hate Earthlings." The Maggot returned the rest safely to Earth, landing in the Seine. When they accidentally left the bottle in the spaceship, sinking with it, Hiram then fired Cecil. As for Bugs and Lola, Hiram apologized to them, admitting that he only wanted Cecil to scare Lola into giving up the flower, not try to kill her. Lola forgave her uncle for everything on the condition that there be no more shady dealings and happily continued her relationship with Bugs. Bugs contemplated proposing to Lola but decided to hold onto his ring for a bit since he felt there was still so much more he had to learn about Lola before proposing to her.

Unexpectedly, Speedy showed up to collect his "morning croissant" and briefly called Lola out on her failure to pay rent while being able to visit Paris, before leaving for Switzerland. Back in Los Angeles, Porky went to speak with Petunia at Pizzaribba while she was eating. Petunia admitted to Porky that the reason why she didn’t accept Porky's proposal was that she was concerned that Porky only wanted to propose to her because she was pregnant. Porky admitted to Petunia that when he got her pregnant, he felt that she had brought them closer together and Porky felt he had to do something like that in return for her. Porky believed that Petunia was the greatest girl he had ever met and if she wanted to wait, then he would understand. Petunia then realized that Porky would’ve still proposed to her either way if she was pregnant or not and decided to accept his proposal.

Hiram managed to reconcile with Lola’s father Walter, his brother. Hiram then introduced his newest scent "Lola". Bugs revealed that he still had the invisibility potion, Hiram decided to not tear down Gossamer’s school, Daffy has moved back into Bugs' house after getting bored of his life at the park, and Petunia gave birth to her daughter with help from Dr. Weisberg, whom Porky and Petunia decided to name “Peta”.

In a pre-credit scene, during a parody of the original "That's All Folks!" ending, Porky Pig says "Th-th-th-that's all, folks!" Daffy arrived with a corndog and Daffy sarcastically remarked "Interesting". Porky angrily hit Daffy on the head with a frying pan which caused Tina to smile about this since it was about time Porky became a man.
