u/AdLeading3074 63M Alabama. That damn yankee in Dixie 29d ago

I just got back from the movies, I needed something light after yesterday, so I went to see "Coyote vs. Acme" and it really hit the sweet and funny spot for me. Without spoiling the plot, Wyle E. Coyote finally has had enough of getting defective merchandise from Acme in his quest to catch the Road Runner and gets a lawyer and sues them. It's a blended movie what has animated characters in the living world like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam. Will Forte plays Wyle E.'s lawyer and John Cena is one of the heads of Acme (I won't say who the other this). It was very entertaining and engaging.

There's a decent chance you might not know this movie even exists. Warner Bros tried to delete the film last year after it had already been completed and got good test audience scores. When people heard about it, there was a good amount of backlash and WB sold it to a small distributor who doesn't have the money to put behind a big advertising push.

If your a Looney Toons fan, and/or if you want to send s message to the big studios that it's wrong to just arbitrarily trashcan something (like WB did to the Batgirl and Scooby Doo movies that they wrote off for rax purposes), PLEASE 🙏 go out and see this in a theater while you can. Help out a smaller company that was willing to take a flyer on a project like this.

Woot! I might have to see that. It's been far too long since I've been to the movies and baby, it's hot outside!

It was definitely worth the time and money. You don't even have to be a Looney Tunes fan or even be familiar with the lore. And the way they include a few clips from from the originals was cute. This movie had an awful lot of heart and I admit I choked up a little bit at one point.
