Hollywood is weird. I don’t know if you’ve been following the behind-the-scenes nonsense regarding this new Looney Tunes movie, but it’s weird and neat all at the same time. Basically, Warner Bros. made this new animation/live action hybrid movie about Wile E. Coyote (my favorite Looney Tune) suing the Acme Corporation. But Warner Bros. is also in the middle of being gutted for parts and sold off, so the higher ups decided to shelves this movie even though it was already done. There was some outcry, deals were made, and Ketchup Entertainment (dumb name) bought the rights.

And now Coyote vs. Acme is going to come to theaters!

Looks pretty darn good to me! Looks funny, looks looney, looks to have a solid blend of live action and animation, and the trailer does a great job of playing up the anti-corporation angle. I hope people actually go out and see this movie. Nobody went and saw The Day the Earth Blew Up, the recent, fully-animated release starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. I got to see that one in theaters! And I was alone in the theater that day! I love when that happens.

Anyway, go see Coyote vs. Acme in theaters on Aug. 28.
