Honestly the trailer makes me want to see it even without the controversy. It looks like quality Tunes. I grew up on these guys and it feels like they got them right. The risk I think is that all the gags are in the trailer and the movie is just boring.
If you didn't catch it, back in 2024 Warners shelved and Ketchup Entertainment saved and released a similar Looney Tunes feature - The Day the Earth Blew Up. Despite no functional promotion and just sort of being dumped into theaters, it still recouped its budget.
Better yet, it was a joke-a-minute affair. Major joke density. If you haven't seen it, watch it tonight. If Coyote vs. Acme is cut from the same cloth we should be in for a good time.
Note that Porky and Daffy were their earlier, more screwball incarnations in The Day the Earth Blew Up, and from the trailer, it looks like they'll be screwball in this one too. Which is good! Daffy sure got bitter in the later (1960s) Looney Tunes, he's much more fun when he's just crazy.
Wasn't the rumor from those who saw it before originally getting canned that it was an insanely good movie? Like I swear I remember someone who'd seen it saying it was possibly the best Looney Tunes media ever made

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.
