Reaction: Marvin the Martian has quickly overtaken God of War as the most successful film of Season 31, becoming the 2nd highest grossing animated film in LRF history (still a far ways off from the massive success of Chad Taylor's Super Mario though).

"Marvin the Martian is a delightful romp that masterfully combines slapstick humor with lighthearted adventure. The film leans heavily into its nostalgic roots, filling the story with fast-paced humor and clever callbacks to the classic cartoons. The sharp writing and brisk running time should appeal to both children and adults alike. Overall, Marvin the Martian, is a fun, visually engaging caper that will leave Looney Tunes fans satisfied - and may even make some new fans." - Tom Lane, Detroit News

"Though it doesn't break new ground or offer much beyond an adequate rendition of a classic Looney Tunes episode, the film has a certain charm to it all. Though I personally didn't enjoy Myers as the title character, the voice acting is well-casted, making it an enjoyable experience if you don't overthink it." - Jason Helm, New York Observer

"Of all the subjects to bring Looney Tunes into LRF with, Marvin was not the one I was expecting. Still, he provides a fair bit of chuckles and fun with his shenanigans though he never produces that one knock-out punch the series is known for. I'd be all for more ventures in to the realm of Bugs and friends, but with a bit more zing if possible. Also, no Duck Dodgers? Really? The callback was right there!" - Delilah Schuler, Los Angeles Times

Rated PG for comic action and mild animated violence
