Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck Chase Through the Louvre in 2003 Film

In 2003, the film Looney Tunes: Back in Action, directed by Joe Dante, featured a chase sequence through the Louvre museum with Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny. The cartoon characters hid inside famous paintings, adapting to each artwork's style: they melted like candles in Salvador Dalí's The Persistence of Memory, dressed as can-can dancers in a Toulouse-Lautrec poster, distorted Elmer Fudd's face like Edvard Munch's The Scream, and dissolved into dots in Georges Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte. The film also included references to classics like Psycho, The Maltese Falcon, Dr. Strangelove, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Dante's own Gremlins. The article, by Federica Polidoro, reflects on this as a precursor to the current trend of museums in cinema.
