Filmmakers took to Twitter/X to sing their praises for Coyote vs. Acme after Warner Bros. Discovery shelved and scrapped the live-action CGI hybrid film for a $30 million tax write-off.

    Might it also be possible that they’re trying this as a method of guerilla marketing? People get angry at the cancellation and spread the word, then they capitulate and uncancel it.

      This is the third movie they’ve shelved in the last couple years, so seems unlikely (for context there have only been like 20 films ever shelved this late into production)

        Something else to consider: Chip n Dale and the Tom and Jerry live action/CGI films didn’t make a ton of money either.

        Why risk it when the risk was already taken numerous times, hell throw the puppet homicide movie in there too, by other companies?
