Looney tunes return to the big screen in new animated film!

[Ben]

They’ve obviously taken note that this hasn’t tanked completely based on the non-existent release, which is both good news and almost doubly frustrating! At least it did get a legit theatrical release, if limited/reduced.

Looks like it may get a slip, but outside of using a poster for the sleeve, that’s pretty basically lousy cover art. At least it’s not got picked up for streaming and no disc release at all. I’ll likely end up seeing it this way.

I'm in for this, for sure.

Yikes. The back cover is way worse than the front cover.

[Ben]

Xactly. At least the front is a poster, but hopefully the back is just a temp holder…hopefully… (it’s not, is it?). We're getting a disc, though. That’s the main thing.

[Randall]

The important thing, natch, is that the spine looks good on the shelf.

All good news. At least the word of mouth is being recognised!

As seen on the front page, could Coyote Vs Acme: A Looney Tunes Movie be next?

Yeah, I know that’s not the title. But look for Ketchup to add it as branding should they be lucky for us enough to push this through.

Just came by to post this... two days after arguing with someone online about how unlikely it was to happen! I hope to be proven wrong!

[droosan]

I'd heard scuttlebutt that all copies of Coyote vs Acme had been destroyed. It seems that must not have been true!

It's been a wild week for the Looney Tunes:

Zaslab really really hates cartoons. Hanna barbera I bet is next.

[Randall]

Hard to fathom WB ridding itself of Looney Tunes altogether (who would buy, one wonders), but the industry is strange right now.

[Ben]

DC is next!

[Randall]

Depending on how Superman does.... could be!
