*Coyote vs. Acme* finally got released after Warner Bros. tried to shelve the project for a $30 million tax write-off. It is exactly as I expected it to be: Funny, action-packed, emotional, and self-aware. The blend of live-action and animation is really cool because the real humans use animated props in the same vein as *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*, but the reason it feels more believable here is because instead of pup…

Coyote vs. Acme turned out to be an unexpectedly enjoyable film. The central idea—Wile E. Coyote taking legal action against Acme Corp over their unreliable merchandise, presented as a courtroom comedy—had the potential to feel thin, but it manages to get laughs by treating the legal storyline with a degree of sincerity. John Cena is amiable in his role as the slick corporate attorney, and the combination of real-wor…

Acme Corporation has encountered something it can’t resolve with an anvil—a courtroom—and the outcome is a surprisingly delightful comedy featuring Looney Tunes characters in *Coyote vs. Acme*. The concept behind the film is quite clever: following yet another mishap involving an Acme product, Wile E. Coyote decides to sue the company, enlisting the assistance of a lawyer who’s struggling to make ends meet. This e…

I don't often find myself writing about animated movies. My memories of cartoons from my childhood as a Baby Boomer are fond ones—I really loved them, especially Looney Tunes. Frankly, I think most animation being made now is too frantic and overly silly, and it doesn’t measure up to those older classics. However, for people who share that opinion, there's a new movie out that feels like a proper tribute to those ear…

An article I came across, referencing this film, placed it among top 10 anti-capitalist movies alongside titles like They Live. The story revolves around a ridiculously villainous corporation led by John Cena, who is great. Will Forte is also enjoyable to watch, as is Jubilee from X-Men: Apocalypse. It’s nice; I think it's mistaken to be on a list of anti-capitalist films and certainly doesn’t belong next to They …

It’s remarkable that it took so long in America's legal environment for someone to realize "ACME" products were faulty! Now, “Wile E. Coyote” has had enough of things going wrong and hires lawyer "Avery" (Will Forte) to sue "Foghorn Leghorn" and his attorney "Buddy" (John Cena). The coyote can’t talk; they can't get the "Road Runner" to testify about what happened, and it seems like their defense isn't getting throug…

While it might not align with what some long-time animation enthusiasts are expecting, *Coyote vs. ACME* is still worth watching because of its inventiveness in paying tribute to older cartoons and the smart way the story unfolds. It's also fun to see how the familiar *Looney Tunes* character is incorporated into this unusual setting.
