I can't help but think that the marketing department is using "ACME" as a stand-in for "Warner Brothers" here.

I was excited for this as soon as I heard about it and I'm glad it's finally getting a release.

Foghorn Leghorn- The ACME Corporation is releasing this movie for account purposes only

David Zazlav- I don't get the joke.....

What if they had Lola Bunny dress up as Batgirl? lol

Eh. I think WB probably should have left it a write-off.

And that's based on...what exactly? You've seen this movie already?

Obviously expanded quite far beyond the original short story, and I tend not to have much interest in Looney Tunes from much after 1960, but heck, I’m in.

Yep and it's brilliant. Can't say that I blame them either. It looks so, so good. I'm that much more hyped to see this with my mom. We're both big Looney Tunes fans.

Speaking of which, here is a link for reference purposes...

Coyote V. Acme

From 1990: “Much as he has come to mistrust Defendant’s products, Mr. Coyote has no other domestic source of supply to which to turn.”

Much obliged. I only recently learned (after this trailer was released but before Steve's post) that it was based on a New Yorker story. I hadn't gotten around to tracking it down so I appreciate you doing it for me.

Based on the trailer that you posted and commented upon.

Now, unless you've seen the entire movie (doubtful), you're also basing your opinion of the movie, and your opinion of WB wanting to write off the film, on the exact same thing. So how is your opinion somehow more valid than mine? We can agree to disagree on things.

My issue is you said it shouldn't be released it so no one can watch it.

You said it looked like WB made a bad financial decision in not wanting to release it based on the trailer. I said it looked it WB made a good financial decision based on the trailer. We're both making judgment calls based on a trailer.

I'm glad the movie's coming out and I hope it's good. I hope it's funny.

But I have to admit upon seeing the trailer, I was disappointed that it's cel shaded 3D animation instead of true 2D animation, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Yeah, that is a bummer but I'm grateful it's not overstylized like some films have done.

Amusing new teaser that highlights Bugs Bunny's role:

That tickles my happy nerve

ACME products do seem to work as labeled

Have a safe and happy 4th of July if you celebrate...
