Coyote Vs Acme

"Coyote vs. Acme" takes Wile E. Coyote, the minimalist character of legendary animator Chuck Jones, and tries to do with him what seems almost impossible: turn him into the hero of a feature film with a plot, development, and emotions. It does not reach the heights of the classics, but the result is smart, funny, and completely worth the time of Looney Tunes fans.

A 70-million-dollar film was finished and ready for release, but Warner Bros. decided to shelve it for a tax write-off. The ensuing Hollywood backlash turned the movie into a symbol of the struggle between creators and corporations, leaving it in a vault for three years until a miracle brought it to the screen.
