If you have a passing interest in film and animation, you’ve likely heard of Coyote Vs. Acme, a feature film in the Roger Rabbit tradition of blending 2D animation with live action focusing on characters from Warner Brothers’ Roadrunner cartoons. The film would have focused on Wile E. Coyote suing the ubiquitous Acme corporation after decades of selling him faulty products, and by all accounts appeared to be a passion project from everyone involved. The movie was, in fact, complete and ready for release- only for Warner Brothers to kill it at the last possible second in the name of a multi-million dollar tax writeoff.
Yeah like me. I’m fucking pissed. There hasn’t been a non “Space Jam” Looney Tunes movie in I don’t know how long and I’m a little steamed that the first thing I hear about one is it’s cancellation due to the usual corpo fuckwitticisms
I’m not pissed… but I’m really irked by this. A movie where Wile E. Coyote sues ACME sounds hilarious to me.
This is the first I’m hearing of it and I’m mad. This movie sounds great
