>>44214 (OP) I do want to see it if only to actually encourage 2D animation in the west again. But like you said, there's no marketing being done for it so the average person is not aware of it.

Just saw it in the theater, it was a really fun movie and loved the visual gags. I don't understand why Warner is trying to hide it's existence and pull Looney Tunes from HBO Max, making it more inaccessible to people.

>>44246 Tax write-offs. Like every other shitty movie and producer nowadays.

Remember Coyote vs. Acme?

On the one hand, you guys have at least made me interested in it. On the other hand, I feel like I'm too jaded with the modern media industries and want to see everything crash first before I start supporting anything again. Especially since it seems like these companies only put out said productions more for financial loopholes than for the purposes of actually making money and giving people what they want. And on top of the fact that this project is from literally the same exact people that removed guns from the HBO series just to make a political statement: https://archive.ph/1McrY <In response to US gun violence, the showrunners will not include firearms in Fudd’s arsenal. That is not to say that he has given up hunting Bugs Bunny, though - he just uses a scythe instead. <Sticks of dynamite, anvils on the head and booby traps will still feature in the series. <“We’re not doing guns,” said Peter Browngardt, executive producers of the series, in an interview with the New York Times. “But we can do cartoony violence - TNT, the Acme stuff.” Call it cynicism, but I blame the companies for ecouraging such an attitude in the first place. Especially when there is ZERO excuse for denying people traditional 2D animated films when anime blows out the box office whenever it's given a theatrical release. If these companies actually did want my money, and want me to support their current endavors, they'd imediately stop all this bullshit. I'm not going to play these games.

>>44249 They gave him back his shotgun later on the show itself. Pete was just saying what WB exects because they are so erractic with their decisions. Pepe Le Pew hasn't even been really banned from showing up in other stuff. Unless you are a celebrity you are not above the excecs on the studio. That´s why everysingle person that has worked with them in the 90´s has been screwed over by them.

>>44250 >Pete was just saying what WB exects because they are so erractic with their decisions He is still responsible for the project, and how he answered the question. All I see the later "addition" as is him trying to regain trust that he had already lost. >Pepe Le Pew hasn't even been really banned from showing up in other stuff What about the axed scene from Space Jam 2? Not that would have improved the movie, just saying. >That´s why everysingle person that has worked with them in the 90´s has been screwed over by them. If it really is that much of a problem working for these people, that you constantly have to cover their asses or they throw a fit, on addition to throwing you under the bus the first chance they get when you inconvenience them, then it's time to find work somewhere else. I'm not going to give these people an anounce of my sympathy for something they willing do to themselves.

>>44251 Pepe has appeared on screen in NU-maniacs, gets small references in NU-Tiny Toons (both were being developed and made after Space Jam 2 and if they were that bothered they would have removed Fifi just for association, and the press told that Elvira wouldn't appear either, She did), his shorst are being remastered on Blu-ray, first in Gay-Puree and now a new collection, WB hasn't bothered to remove him from the merchandise, nor even recall it. If these people return to these companies it's because they constantly do excecutives shake up and open their floodgates and close them arbitrarly. It's not the same working for the Warners as it is working for Disney or Netflx due to the simplle reasons that they are not the same companies so it's obvious that they have difeerent work cultures. Genndy is still doing shows on CN while still developing movies from Sony (if they even make it far from early pre-production), McCraken and Greenblat have been very open about how Disney and Nick treat them worse has and almost every adult swim creative has been kicked of and contracted again. Everyone is subceptible to short-time decistion making..

>>44252 >Everyone is subceptible to short-time decistion making.. The problem I have after a while is that if things are that petty with these companies, that you can be fired one week and rehired the next, why even bother going to work for these "established" animation houses instead of going somewhere else or even starting your own company. That's how we got Sullivan Bluth Studios and DreamWorks.

>>44214 (OP) Warner Bros Negotiating Big Sale Of Shelved ‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ Movie: The Dish https://archive.fo/QTGZF >Warner Bros‘ shelved movie Coyote vs. Acme finally might have found a new home with the studio deep in sale negotiations, we can reveal. Gareth West’s distributor-financier Ketchup Entertainment is negotiating an all-rights acquisition in the $50M range for the animated/live-action hybrid project. Ketchup last year rescued the same studio’s The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie. >The pact isn’t finalised and there’s still a chance it doesn’t make but it’s heading in the right direction. Should it get over the line, the film would get a theatrical release in 2026.

>>44253 People nowadays are weak, the animation industry nowadays incestuous, and individual employees generally lack money and reputation to say "I'll make my own" - or if they're part of the successful old stock, succumbed to selfish boomerism and are too busy enjoying personal success to care what happens to others (see also: the loss of animation knowledge because no one decided to become teachers due to being busy living like rock stars)

>>44270 You keep reposting the exact same cuckchan meme all the time, nigger, just fuck off and die already.

>>44270 >living like rockstars >on a 30-45 thousand dollar salary if that Nigger animation is a lost art because studios are too greedy to pay people so schools only teach the bare minimum lazy routes while studios outsource everything to other countries for cheap.

>>44272 >because studios are too greedy to pay people And it's gotten to the point that every single one of the American animation houses is in a life-or-death struggle to continue. >so schools only teach the bare minimum lazy routes What "schools"? Outside of CalArts, where else is the actual art of animation taught? >while studios outsource everything to other countries for cheap. To be fair, that has always gone on. A lot of American cartoons have always attempted to outsource production to keep costs low. The only time you can really point to as Amercan cartoons being "solely" made in America was during the 60's and 70's, and a lot of the animated theatrical films up through the early 80's. Since then, everything's been outsourced to Asia (Primarily Japan, Taiwan, or Worst Korea) or Europe (Either France or one of the Soviet bloc members).

>>44273 Art schools in general. Animation isn't only taught in calarts. The program not the style. Yes but it's gotten worse to the point nothing's really made in house anymore. If it is, it's the barest minimum. Point is these are the practices that killed animation progress in the west.

>>44246 > I don't understand why Warner is trying to hide it's existence Warner executives are all up their own ass, Adult Swim have some of the best selling 2D animation shows since the Simpsons and they do diddle shit with it. They all want 3D animation studios so they can outsource and nickel and dime even harder.

>>44268 >After many attempts to make the Looney Tunes characters relevant they shitcanned the only interesting movie But why releasing in 2026? Wasn't the movie already finished all what's left was to fully render the 3d characters?

>>44278 Zaslav isn't really to blame considering WB was full of debt and the people who sold the company hid that fact. The issue is the fact that he, like many retards in the area, axe good stuff that's actually profitable and push for shit they see as popular in analytics that flop all the time.

>>44214 (OP) Saw the movie today. It's good fun & all with very lively animation but I wouldn't say it's amazing. Still doesn't deserve WB mistreating it so badly. The jokes that don't really land are the ones trying to be too modern like >>44237 or another one while they're growing up in the credits.

>>44314 Just from the trailers alone I could tell that would be the case. Pete Browngardt's stink is all over this film, and that was enough to turn me off. Everyone talka him up as the second coming of Bob Clampett but all his looney tunes work feels like a tryhard attempt at being Clampett with a huge dose of Spumco styled gross out humor added to the mix. I cant stand any of it.

>>44271 >implying it isnt true because its reposted often

>>44282 >popular in analytics that flop all the time Can't wait to see if the Minecrap movie shits the bed or becomes a box office hit because autists are something to be banked on. >>44344 >Pete Browngardt How the hell did he keep his job if his shtick is just regurgitating shit from Ren and Stimpy? Even Carbunkle Productions' scrapped pitch pilot of the Looney Tunes wasn't a piss poor attempt to reminisce their days during the 90s.

I just know that Zaslav looks more and more like a genius everytime someone says "obviously" he is wrong about something. Took the tax write off for Coyote vs Acme. (After shopping it and having no bidders to compensate for cost) >Retards cry and complain. Option The Day the World Blew Up to Ketchup. >retards act like it's the second coming of christ. >movie bombs >people blame WB instead of Ketchup. WB made a profit on a dead franchise, and simultaneously proved that Zaslav is more tuned into what people want than Redditors think. Ketchup. is probably losing their ass though, since they had to secure distribution/licensing rights. No one is saying the movie is bad, executives were arguing that it wasn't profitable to release.

Warner Bros. To Raze Looney Tunes Building On Lot https://archive.fo/EhTQ3 >A little cartoon history is about to be history on the Warner Bros. lot: the studio is razing the single-story building where Looney Tunes was once housed. Deadline understands that Building 131 will be torn down to create more base camp space for the myriad HBO shows that are shooting on the lot. The nondescript building, which is located in the far corner of the lot off of Forest Lawn Drive, will not be replaced. >Observers say the demolition has been in the works for some time and that staff from other shows have been discouraged from parking in the vicinity. The teardown process could begin as early as next week.

>>44390 The building hadn't been in use for a long time & was probably gonna be condemned anyway.
