Personification, attributing human characteristics to animals, has been the heart of cartoons. We want to see ourselves as Roadrunner; Smart, agile, and free. For a decade we gave 45/47 the part as we haplessly chase after him. Time to switch characters. Democracy must escape & humiliate him.
Isn’t that the movie they cancelled and used as a tax write off? No wonder Warner Bros. Pictures hasn’t released anything good since they changed their 90’s logo.
Goes without saying that commissioning hundreds of creatives to bring something to life only to put it into deep freeze as a tax shelter is a completely dysfunctional loophole and shouldn't be allowed.
"Ketchup Entertainment today confirmed their completed deal for worldwide rights to the live-action/animated hybrid film that brings Looney Tunes character Wile E. Coyote to the big screen. We had the deal pegged in the $50M range and the film is expected to get a theatrical release in 2026!!!
As a condition of the tax write off they had to delete the film from their servers so no copies (should) exist. If they indeed sold it they are in legal trouble. Zaslav is the worst.
Let's go!
Very smart of Ketchup to buy it considering all the free publicity the film already got, how beloved Loobey Tunes is, and that The Day The Earth Blew Up ended up not being a complete failure despite how badly Warner Bros. set it up to. Genuinely can't wait!
You work for WB. This should not be something you’re proud of. The way Zsaslav has treated an asset such as the Looney Tunes is disgraceful. Zsaslav is disgraceful
What a bullshit response compared to what should have been ‘The company I work for buried multiple projects as a tax incentive, and I should be embarrassed to work for the man, and the disaster he’s turning WB into.’
Seriously James. All you can muster is a heart emote? WB (the company that hired you to 'fix' DC [we'll see]) are assholes for doing this in the first place. Those that are happy with this news are most certainly NOT happy with WB itself. No heart emotes here. Not for WB.

can’t wait !
It’s just a damn shame that joy and laughter will be illegal by 2026.
Joking. "Wile E" is a take on the word wily.

Really don’t like how Marvel treat their home releases on 4K Bluray

Dethrone David Zaslav in a coup and take the reigns of power
Instead, “🖤” maybe?
