== Plot ==
While scanning the universe for signs of hostility, Marvin hears something that sounds like a threat from Earth. Daffy Duck's preparation for his movie role as a dreaded Martian fighter causes the confusion, which results in intergalactic mayhem of comic proportions.Warner Bros. Movie World - Marvin the Martian
== History ==
In 1997, the film opened at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast in Australia, after it was firstly released in Europe on June 29, 1996, at the now defunct Warner Bros. Movie World Germany. The attraction opened at the Roxy Theatre in Main Street. It mixed the old art of anaglyphic or polarized film (viewed with 3D glasses), and the relatively new art of CGI (the first CGI feature-film, Toy Story, was made only two years before).Directory of 3-D (Stereo) Motion Pictures 1922 - 2001Toy Story at the Internet Movie Database
In 2005, the Roxy Theatre saw Marvin the Martian in 3D ending its run and being replaced with Shrek 4D Adventure which includes added real world effects to immerse the viewers into the film such as wind, water and smells.
One year later the film was also shown at the Pictorium at Six Flags Great America.Unofficial site of Six Flags Great America Though, the much larger screen size of the Pictorium suggests that there may differences from the original film seen in Australia. The version in the Pictorium started showing in 2006 and ceased two years later in May 2008.
