Ever seen Buck Rogers? Well this is a Looney Tunes parody and a well done one too!Daffy Duck and Porky Pig co-starred. Daffy is Duck Dodgers, who ventures to Planet X seeking Illudium Phosdex,the shaving cream atom. He finds Marvin who is also trying to claim Planet X for himself because it is the last known source of the substance. Porky Pig is Duck Dodger's eager space cadet, and at the end of the cartoon there's not much left of Planet X to claim after this quartet are finished with it!

Marvin

1991
[Bugs Bunny's Lunar Tunes]
Marvin appears in a Mars court trying to obtain a permit to blow up the earth. It becomes Bugs Bunny's responsibility to defend the earth from annihilation. Marvin's argument for the permit is that Earthlings create pollution, clutter up outer space, and incorrectly portray space people as monsters (well he does have a point). Bugs needs to come up with enough evidence to save us all...

Marvin in the Third Dimension

1996
[Marvin the Martian in the 3rd Dimension]
This specially released 3-D animation was only shown for a limited time in WB stores, at MovieWorld on the Gold Coast (Australia) and cinemas. Unfortunately it was not a world-wide release but it appears that it was screened in the U.S. also at selected venues.

NEW!! December 2002 - I am happy to report that I visited Movieworld on the Gold Coast and saw the Marvin the Martian in the Third Dimension. It was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend it. If you can get there, go for it! I also 'met' Marvin a number of times and had photos taken. If you are an avid Marvin merchandise collector, as I am, there are lots of items for sale in the Movieworld stores at very reasonable prices. I managed to pick up 2 x photo frames, and an embroidered cap. Let us know of your experience via e-mail and we'll put it up on the site. It could include what you've collected, or your favourite cartoon...
