This film, previously canceled and thought lost by Warner Bros., has been acquired by Ketchup Entertainment, ensuring its debut later this month. This acquisition marks a significant turn for the project after its shelving.
Ahead of its public release, "Coyote vs. Acme" was screened for the family of the iconic animator Chuck Jones. His daughter, Linda Jones Clough, and grandson, Craig Kausen, shared their reactions. Jones, a luminary behind numerous Looney Tunes classics, had previously expressed doubt about the feasibility of a feature-length film starring Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner.
However, Jones Clough and Kausen were reportedly delighted with the final product. They found the film to be a seamless integration of animated characters into a live-action world, a perfect continuation of the universe their grandfather created. Ultimately, they conveyed their strong positive reception, stating they "ended up loving it."
