The Coyote vs Acme trailer includes the tagline “The Film Acme Didn’t Want You to See.”

Yeah, Acme didn’t want you to see it.

The evil Acme corporation, in addition to being the finest purveyors of rocket-powered roller-skates, ten-ton weights, shoes with springs in the soles, and any number of exploding ordnance, delivered fast to the Southwestern desert, is also the stand in for Warner Bros in the trailer for a film that will finally be released this summer.

In addition to the tagline, the disclaimer read at the end of the trailer, which says, “The Acme Corporation is releasing this film for accounting purposes only. We do not condone any of the storylines depicted.”

This is an obvious reference to former Warner head honcho David Zaslav’s decision to write off the film back in 2023 as the company was looking to cut costs during its merger with Discovery. Coyote vs. Acme, along with Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt, were ready to roll out to theaters when they were shelved.

Looney Tunes fans were as outraged as Yosemite Sam and took to social media to express their outrage, and eventually Warner relented, and Ketchup Entertainment scored the theatrical distribution rights for the film. Ketchup also released The Day the Earth Blew Up: a Looney Tunes Movie, another movie that narrowly missed being forever shelved, last year.

The movie’s concept stems from a satirical New Yorker piece of the same name by Ian Frazier. The lengthy logline reads, “After decades of being blown to bits by bombs, demolished by dynamite, mangled by magnets, battered by boulders, trampled by trains, tricked by tunnels, sprung by springs, steamrolled by steamrollers, maligned by misfires, bedeviled by bungees, rattled by rockets, backstabbed by bat suits, rocked by rocket skates, upended by unicycles, quaked by quake pills, rubberized by rogue bands, and hurled headlong off every cliff in the Southwest, Wile E. Coyote finally fights back. Teaming up with billboard accident lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte), he takes on slick corporate counsel Buddy Crane (John Cena) and ACME, Inc., the profit-obsessed conglomerate behind every one of the Coyote’s chaotic catastrophes.”

Coyote vs. Acme also stars Lana Condor as Kevin’s niece, Paige, P.J. Byrne as ACME lawyer Bill Pellicano, and Luis Guzman as the presiding judge. Longtime Looney Tunes voice actor Eric Bauza will speak for several classic characters, including Tweety Bird, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, and Foghorn Leghorn.

Dave Green directed from a script by Samy Burch, with Burch, James Gunn and Jeremy Slater receiving story credit.

Coyote vs Acme is sentenced to appear in theaters beginning on August 28th.
