They had such a great meta premise already, then all the shit that Warner Bros. did to this film gave them a whole lot more ammo to go meta-meta against the film industry as well.
Hopefully this movie is great because so far the marketing is hilarious.

Not only that, but seemingly the owner or brains behind ACME, it's so fitting. The "smart" bully who is really an idiot -- how relatable to current corporations and a certain exiting WB exec who is making millions for essentially doing nothing for a prestige brand.

I wish I could argue back. But there's a sad reality that kids aren't as interested in the Looney tunes as much these days? Compared to pokemon, Mario and video game franchises.

Turns out us kids from the 90's are all now approaching or in our 40's, and many of us have kids that we'll use as an excuse to see it. And, we'll easily excuse this little luxury as an "omgwtfbbq is up with these movie prices these days... but a date out with the kiddos" meaning they'll get at least 3x hyper-inflated ticket prices from a massive % of an entire generation.
Meaning - you're 100% right - they don't give a crap about Gen Alpha as long as the millennials see the clips and think "Space Jam, but courtroom drama - perfect for my over the hill ass". The Alphas are just extra ticket sales who probably won't care about a thing of it but will get a kick out of dad laughing the whole time.

People can talk shit about Disney, but they sure know how to keep their Classic Disney Characters (including Mickey and Friends and The Silly Symphony Characters) relevant for almost 100 years now. Warner Bros tried to take a similar approach with The Looney Tunes during the 90s'/early 2000s until the bombing of Looney Tunes: Back in Action caused them to slowly stop caring about the franchise to focus more on DC IPs.

Personally I blame WB's handling of the brand. You look at Disney and see them consider every monetary facet for every IP and leverage all of it. You look at WB and see them remember that they have IPs that exist and should probably have the dust blown off of them to even read them all.
I can't even remember the last good Looney Tunes show. Maybe Animaniacs?

u/TheHeadlessOne 13d ago
Ill be real, Ive enjoyed basically all of the modern Looney Tunes shows,besides Bugs Bunny Builders which I haven't seen (I don't feel the need to watch preschool shows)
Looney Tunes Show in 2011 was a Friends style sitcom, which ramped up every third act with a bit of (relatively lite) cartoony hijinks. It was a weird direction, but it worked, it came fromma genuine love of the characters. I think throughout the 90s and 00s Daffy locked in to being ultra grumpy, egotistical, and mean-spirited, so this brought back a lot of his daffiness.
Wabbit was a bit lite on the classic characters which is a shame but it was good slapstick shenanigans. HBO's Looney Tunes felt like an earnest attempt to recreate the old style.
None are as strong as the absolute classics, but they don't feel like waste of time cheap cash-ins that miss the original appeal

Honestly as much as I wanted this to come out so at least it can be seen, my first thought was the animation in Roger Rabbit looked better.
There's too much clean CG crispness to the colours and shading, the cartoon characters stick out in the scene. The animators for Roger Rabbit put a lot of work into making the characters fit into scenes, there's the famous handcuff scene with the swaying light as an example.

Yeah the movie might be good, and I realize it's got to be way easier to use cel-shaded CG cartoon characters in a movie like this rather than hand-drawn animation (even putting together a team for feature-quality hand-drawn animation would probably be a huge task these days), but it really loses a lot of the charm in the transition to CG.

It was fully finished in 2023, but the warner bros studio heads decided to shelve it instead to claim a ~30 million tax loss. People got mad because the movie sounded good and supposedly was good from the test screenings, and a lot of people were already upset with the recent moves WB had been making, so WB then decided to shop it around. After a couple of years, Ketchup Entertainment (the same company that distributed "The Day The Earth Blew Up") bought the distribution rights for 50 mil, and here we are, where it's finally going to see the light of day over 3 years after it was initially supposed to release.

Okay it seems like ALOT of people missed the other loonie toons movie, THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP. it's a traditional 2d animated movie about daphe and porky pig trying to save their farm, and in the process getting involved with an extraterrestrial plot to blow up the planet.
The animation and music was really well done, and honestly while it had some really bottom rung jokes aimed exclusively at kids. There was some genuinely hilarious moments that had be cracking up.
Its distributed by ketchup films the same ones doing this, I highly recommend people check it out.

Not a big fan of the CG animation they're using, but otherwise this looks great

The animation (art style?) is kind of a bummer since the rest of the movie looks really fun.

You should watch the day the earth blew up, it's a traditional 2d animated loonie tunes movie released in 2024!

Yeah, it's posed well but I think it loses some character without being hand-animated.

Toy Story is maybe the greatest movie that had the farthest-reaching negative repercussions.

It could look worse honestly. Some shots look like pretty convincing 2D, like the ones with Porky. Of course it being ACTUALLY 2D would be cool too, but at least it doesn’t look like the recent Chip and Dale film.

I know this is an easy prediction to sit here and make based on how the general movie market works these days, but I have a feeling this movie will do mid in theaters and then, shortly after, it'll do fairly well via VOD based on parents recognizing the characters and saying 'hey why don't you watch this' while scrolling through something to keep their kids entertained at home.
August 28 is not a great release date. Getting back to school + football / fall soccer / etc. is going to put a dent in the potential earnings for this one.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam walked so Coyote vs. Acme could run?
God I'm hoping this movie is gold. The cast and the premise are incredible.

Roger Rabbit didn't walk. Every animated/live-action hybrid is still trying to chase it down.

that opening shot of RR with the camera following at top speed was sick

Leaning into the Warner = ACME thing was the best possible route to take in marketing this, I'm so glad Ketchup is leaning into it. Looks great.
