Coyote vs. Acme

Loosely based on the 1990 The New Yorker magazine article “Coyote v. Acme” by Ian Frazier (itself using elements from the Looney Tunes cartoons), it follows Wile E. Coyote as he enlists a billboard attorney to sue the Acme Corporation for repeatedly selling him faulty products. The live-action animated film stars Will Forte, Lana Condor, Tone Bell, Luis Guzmán, Martha Kelly, P. J. Byrne, Kenneth Choi, and John Cena, with Eric Bauza leading the voice cast. In a world where cartoon characters co-exist amongst humans, Wile E. Coyote (“Genius”) has finally decided to sue the Acme corporation after decades of being blown up, battered, shattered and bedeviled by Acme products he uses in his never-ending quest to kill and eat Roadrunner. (meep-meep.) There is also an interesting and complex back-story to the making of this film, which was originally shelved by Warner Brothers, with the development rights ultimately sold to Ketchup Entertainment with a fresh production team.   (PG, 1h 41m)

96% RT Critics Consensus: “A daffy satire that’s equal parts heart and wily humor, Coyote vs. Acme makes a triumphant case for the Looney Tunes’ modern relevance with a sense of good-natured mischief that’d make even Bugs Bunny bow.”

95% Audience Consensus: “A hilarious, nostalgic, and unexpectedly heartfelt crowd-pleaser, Coyote vs. Acme introduces Looney Tunes mayhem — and its iconic anvils — to a new generation while rewarding longtime fans.”
