While scanning the universe for signs of hostility, Marvin hears something that sounds like a threat from Earth. Daffy's preparation for his movie role as a dreaded Martian fighter causes the confusion, which results in intergalactic mayhem of comic proportions.

Marvin the Martian in the Third Dimension Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
NipPierce Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
TheLittleSongbird Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes, Hanna and Barbera and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons. Actually appreciate it even more now through young adult eyes, thanks to broader knowledge and taste and more interest in animation styles and various studios and directors.As said, have loved and still do love Looney Tunes with all my heart, the best of them being animated masterpieces, being both hilarious and extremely well made. Daffy to me is one of the best, funniest and most interesting Looney Tunes characters in terms of personality and how the humour is delivered. Like Marvin too. And have surprisingly liked quite a few of the Looney Tunes shorts from the 90s, not on the same level as prime-era Looney Tunes but a long way from being disgraces. 'Marvin the Martian in the Third Dimension' is not one of the best from that period and it doesn't do Daffy or Marvin justice. They're better than this.It does have good things certainly. The animation is bright and colourful with some nice detail, a few inventive visual ideas (though they are too far and between) and characters drawn with smoothness and not ugliness. Joe Alaskey, while no Mel Blanc (then again who was?), does a great job with the vocal characterisations particularly as Daffy.There are a few amusing and clever moments, again too far and between. While not action-enhancing, the music still has energy and orchestrated appealingly. Daffy does what he can taking the laughs while also being true to personality and having well done facial expressions, one can see why he is one of animation's best and most interesting characters.On the other hand, there is too much of a seen it all before feel, everything is too familiar and there is nothing surprising. It's not even an innovative idea in animation, certainly has been done much better, and the execution lacks freshness. It doesn't really feel like a Looney Tunes cartoon either, because the zaniness and razor sharp wit isn't there enough and neither is the visual imagination or wackiness. Marvin is bland with little to his character or material, very problematic considering strictly speaking he's the main character yet Daffy is far more of that, and the 3D was not necessary and sloppy. Dialogue lacks wit and is far too talky, with a lot of the writing being mediocre at best that was a big problem The laughs aren't really enough and the sight gags even less, because of the over-familiarity and tiredness.Overall, not terrible but pretty average, for Looney Tunes average isn't enough. 5/10 Bethany Cox
robcat2075 I saw this as "Duck Dodgers in the 3rd Dimension" at the World Animation Celebration in L.A. in 1997.I was quite knocked out by it, both for the 3D effects and for the faithful revival of the classic WB characters in it. For once someone got it right. The characters were in character, the voices sounded right and the animation did them justice.We were told that everything was animated on paper first by 2D animators, then those images were handed to 3D animators to match exactly. Sounds awkward but it worked great.This film hasn't been widely seen. Hopefully with the current 3D boom it will be released theatrically, perhaps on the front of a similarly themed live action film.
Tommy Nelson 3-D movies are generally a chance to have great animation and eye popping effects, and the films are generally 10 to 15 minutes. This has lame 3-D effects alongside mediocre animation with a plot no funnier or more clever than a typical Daffy Duck cartoon. Before the movie starts, a 3-D advertisement plays, and it's really the best part of the movie.Daffy Duck is living in Bugs Bunny's shadow, but when Marvin the Martian comes to Earth, and Daffy thinks he's a big Hollywood director, Daffy thinks he's going to be living on easy street. Many special effects pop out as you watch this including water, poke in the back (which actually hurts), seat vibration and other effects that don't help it any. If you're going to miss a 3-D attraction at a theme park, avoid this one, it's not worth your time.My rating: * 1/2 out of ****. 7 mins.
the_insainiak OK, I work in the theme park on the Gold Coast that is screening this 3D film. (Warner Bros Movie World). I Have seen the film many times as part of the audience also. It is highly entertaining, and very fast paced. Very simple storyline, not too different to that of other looney Tunes Cartoons. The film works very well in 3D. You even get wet when viewing it in the theme park. Daffy Duck Loves himself, Marvin the Martian wants to destroy the Duck! what more could we want in a comedy animated film. I enjoyed this 12 minute animated film, more than I enjoy animated films that run for 1.5 hours. HEaps of fun for the whole family. Recommended to anyone who gets a chance to view it.
