"Coyote Vs. Acme" - Animated Movie Starring Wile E. Coyote in Development

[Breakfast Master]

Like how much they're leaning into "this is something they tried to keep from you" in the inspired marketing, making it a part of the narrative's case against Acme

It is so surreal to see even brief clips of this movie considering it should not have seen the light of day under any other circumstances where Ketcup didn't intervene. After everything is said and done, this movie may end up being mid at best, but it deserves better than to be written off for tax purposes. I'm liking what I see so far.

Got a glimpse of Sylvester's wife from "A Mouse Divided" in this one. So, half the Tunes will be animated in 2D traditional animation while the others (e.g. Wile E. and Daffy) are in cel-shaded CGI.

TIL James Gunn co-wrote this. Given his standing with WBD, you'd think he'd do more to save it from being scrapped when Zaslav decided to dump it.

Yippee Skippy! I can't wait for this! This will put David Zaslav in shame for what he did and Looney Tunes!

From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"This Is It, Folks: The Coyote Vs Acme Trailer"​

"Everything all of you have worked for, every petition, every social media rant, every shout, every scream…has led to this moment. The moment that at one point seemed like it would never happen. The moment an actual full trailer for Coyote Vs Acme is released to the public. This is it. Take it in, you earned it.

Let’s reflect on the long, winding desert road that got us here. Coyote Va Acme was initially announced in 2018 as part of a trio of Looney Tunes movies meant for the brand-new HBO Max. Plans changed and the movie was put on WB’s theatrical schedule instead, promised for 2023. But instead of that happening, David Zaslav took charge and wrote the entire thing off for taxes, prompting outrage.

Right before this happened, Coyote Vs Acme had been shown to test audiences who gave it one of the highest scores WB had received for anything. People now wanted to see what the hype was about, and were being told they couldn’t. And surprisingly, they didn’t like that! Zaslav, who seemed to relish playing games with big business, offered the film up for sale to other studios, except not really. When they arrived he gave them a gargantuan price they refused to take."

ngl it's kinda funny disney posted this pooh-related animation the same day this trailer came out:

that being said, idk if hype moments + cameos is gonna be enough to make coyote vs acme worth watching if the plot doesn't live up to its "buzz" (of course, it's james gunn, so i could be wrong)

 

[awinger24]

I heard every Looney Tunes character will appear in the movie with a majority in cameos. I’ve been hearing that Pepé Le Pew is confirmed to make an appearance in the movie despite being banned from Bugs Bunny Builders, Tiny Toons Looniversity and Space Jam: A New Legacy. I think WB lifted the ban after Ann Sarnoff left.

I want to see how they are going to fit in other characters like Sylvester, Speedy Gonzales and even other deep cut characters like Sniffles, Hubie and Bertie, and Penelope Pussycat who got a recent major role on Bugs Bunny Builders.

I dont think they'll have cameos by EVERY character (maybe if there are any crowd scenes), but I do see them putting more of the well-known characters in to get people to watch (not to mention that since Road Runner and Coyote dont talk, you'll need someone to speak for them).

 

[MatthewP]

nitpicky counterpoint but; the coyote does have the capability to speak up at least

(unless they're saving that for the grand speech at the climax part)

 

[Mandouga]

Where does that come from, exactly?

Where does that come from, exactly?

Between 2001-05, LT Flash-animated shorts were made for WB's websites.

 

[Tommypezmaster]

After seeing the trailer, we just might have a contender for one of the best films of the year. They nailed every detail just right. And I just love how they act like a middle finger to Warner Brothers shelving it.

Some viewership data for the trailer.

From the article-
Ketchup Entertainment‘s Coyote vs. Acme trailer clocked 25.6M views in its first 24 hours after dropping on April 22, we hear.

Per social analytics corp WaveMetrix, that makes it the most watched family film trailer launch by an independent studio ever beating Angel Studio’s animated movie King of Kings (which opened to $19.3M).

[wiley207]

The trailer's got me excited! And I've even come up with a new sign to go with my Wile E. Coyote cosplay, which I plan to wear to this year's FAN EXPO Boston to tie into the movie coming out later this summer:

The trailer is being released tomorrow!

Will Forte was born to be in a Looney Tunes production .

1:46 trailer has been released.

I'm curious...is Acme at fault? The Road Runner? Wile E. himself ?

Did Acme make Daffy...Daffy !

Poor Porky .

John Cena being the "main villain " of Looney Tunes flick is hilarious, especially to see him get bossed around by Foghorn .

Bugs is Deep Throat ?

Between 2001-05, LT Flash-animated shorts were made for WB's websites.

I have fond memories of the Survivor spoof series they did .

 

[Dantheman]

Nice the trailer referenced Wile E. Coyote's "Have Brain, Will Travel" business card, which is of course a reference to the old "Have Gun, Will Travel" TV series (the boys sing the theme song in Stand by Me).

I think this movie is in good hands.
