Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, and Ronald McDonald's Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action is an upcoming Lion King/Ronald McDonald/Looney Tunes mixed crossover film planned to be made by Yakko Warner. As of now, it is unknown when the film will be made.
Plot[]
Weary of playing villainous roles in Bugs Bunny's cartoons, Daffy Duck demands his own animated film, but is instead fired by Vice President of Comedy Kate Houghton. Security guard and aspiring stuntman DJ Drake is ordered to escort Daffy from the studio; in the ensuing chase, a Batmobile demolishes the water tower, leading to DJ's dismissal. Daffy follows DJ home, where the latter receives a message from his father, actor Damian Drake, who DJ learns is a secret agent. Damian tells DJ to travel to Las Vegas, contact his associate Dusty Tails, and find the blue monkey diamond. Damian is then captured by the Acme Corporation, led by the eccentric Mr. Chairman. DJ and Daffy depart for Las Vegas.
Bugs' routines fail without Daffy. Kate is told to rehire Daffy, or face termination herself. Kate and Bugs arrive at DJ's house, where they find Damian's TVR Tuscan and use it in pursuit of DJ and Daffy. In Las Vegas, DJ and Daffy meet Dusty in a casino owned by Yosemite Sam, who is employed by Acme. Dusty gives them a unique playing card, a clue to finding the diamond. Sam and his sidekicks pursue DJ and Daffy for the card, but they flee with Bugs and Kate. When the Tuscan crashes in a desert, the group camps out for the night while Bugs fails convince Daffy to take his job back, with the latter revealing he envies Bugs for being so popular with so little effort, and wishes it were like that for himself. The next day, Wile E. Coyote tries in vain to steal the card from the group.
The group eventually discovers Area 52, run by a woman known as Mother. Mother shows the group a short film about the blue monkey, which can devolve humans into monkeys. Marvin the Martian, imprisoned in the facility, leads a group of aliens to try to steal the card, but DJ's group escapes. Seeing Mona Lisa's face on the card, the group conclude they must view the painting in the Louvre.
At the Louvre, the group discover that the card contains a viewing window for the Mona Lisa and use it to discover a hidden map of Africa. Elmer Fudd appears and chases Bugs and Daffy through several paintings to obtain the card. Meanwhile, Kate is kidnapped by Beaky Buzzard and Smith, Mr. Chairman's bodyguard. DJ rescues Kate, while Elmer disintegrates into tiny dots after emerging from a pointillist painting.
The group travels to Africa and meet Granny, Sylvester, and Tweety, who escort them to the ruins of a jungle temple containing the blue monkey. At that point, Granny and company reveal themselves to be Mr. Chairman, Smith, and Taz in disguise. Mr. Chairman teleports everyone to the Acme headquarters and tricks DJ into giving him the diamond in exchange for Damian's release.
Marvin is sent to place the diamond in an Acme satellite's ray gun; with it, Mr. Chairman plans to turn most of the world's population into monkeys to make his products before reverting the population into people who will buy them while everyone will be turning into mindless fruits. DJ and Kate rescue Damian from a death trap, while Bugs and Daffy chase Marvin into space. Marvin defeats Bugs, prompting Daffy to become Duck Dodgers in order to destroy the diamond. The intervention leads to Mr. Chairman transforming into a monkey, leading to his arrest. Bugs and Daffy return to Earth, where it is revealed that the preceding events were staged. Bugs promises Daffy that they will be equal partners, before the latter is flattened by the Looney Tunes rings. Porky Pig attempts to close the film with "That's all, folks!", but the studio closes, to Porky's indignation.

- Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Chomper, and Ruby will make cameos in the restaurant scene talking about why DreamWorks Animation and Universal Animation Studios have not made anymore sequels to their respective films in years. In the original separate Lion King crossover version, it was only Alex, Marty Melman, and Gloria who made cameos in the restaurant scene talking about DreamWorks Animation's then-upcoming projects, including Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted.
- Tarzan originally made a brief cameo during the jungle scene in the original separate Lion King crossover version. However, due to him extending his role along with Jane Porter and Professor Archimedes Q. Porter in this film (due to them being members of the Jungle Adventure Crew), his cameo will be replaced by Buzzie, Flaps, Dizzy, and Ziggy for the jungle scene (despite their full appearances in Pooh's Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action).
- Genie and Batty Koda will be absent in this film, due to the former's guest appearance in Pooh's Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action and the latter's upcoming guest appearance in Bloom's Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
- Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers will make their full guest appearances in this film, despite their brief cameos during the restaurant scene in the real film.
- This film will mark the first debut of The Incredibles and Frozone as members of the McDonaldland Adventure Crew.
- This film will also feature the return of Syndrome, The Underminer, and Evelyn Deavor (aka Screenslaver).
- The Super Evil Subspace Empire Squad (excluding Crud, The Grand Duke of Owls, Hunch, Ichy and Dil, Scar, and Prince Hans), Makunga, Dr. Blowhole and his lobster minions, Simone Lenior, Lena Dupree, Jacques, the aliens (from Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders), One-Eyed Sally, Blather, Randall Boggs, Elmyra Duff, Montana Max, Evil Emperor Zurg, Warp Darkmatter, NOS-4-A2, Gravitina, Torque, Stinky Pete (from Toy Story 2), Lotso, Percival C.

- Unlike in the real film, Mr. Swackhammer (from Space Jam) will make a special guest appearance in this film, due to him being a member of The Super Evil Subspace Empire Squad.
- The reason why characters from Tiny Toon Adventures are guest starring in this film is because the real film centered on Looney Tunes characters and Tiny Toon Adventures is connected to the Looney Tunes universe.
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Looney Tunes: Back in Action are both live-action/animated hybrid films set in Hollywood.
- This film takes place after the Simba, Timon, Pumbaa, Ronald McDonald, and SpongeBob SquarePants Meet The Incredibles double feature and before Pooh, Ash, and Oobi's Adventures of Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School.
- On April 2, 2010, LionKingRulezAgain1 originally made and released a separate Lion King crossover with Looney Tunes: Back in Action, but the film was deleted from YouTube, due to copyright claims, before he even retired from the Pooh's Adventures League, so Yakko Warner will remake this film not only as a Lion King/Ronald McDonald mixed crossover, but also as a future present-day adventure instead.
