De the whole controversy surrounding Coyote vs Acme has meanwhile become almost bigger than the film itself. In 2023, Warner Bros decided to dump the film—which was already completely finished and ready to be released—in the trash for a tax write-off of 30 million dollars. The backlash that followed from both the public and the industry ensured that Warner allowed the producers to sell the film to another distributor. Ultimately, it still took 3 years before the film ended up in cinemas, but here it is. A delightfully nostalgic love letter to the Looney Tunes, a fine mix between animation and live-action, (adult) humor and visual gags, and charismatic acting performances by John Cena and Will Forte, make this an instant cult classic in the making.
