Warner Bros. Discovery, under the CEO David ZaslavHe did it again, this time drying the original Looney Tones Shorts from Max. Do you know, those legendary and hilarious cartoons who defined animation from 1930 to 1969? Left. That’s right.
It is another disconcerting decision in what looks like a personal revenge against Bugs Bunny and the band. Deadline confirmed with Warner Bros. that the classic short films have been removed as part of a “new plan” to move Max’s attention to programming for adults and family members.
According to them, the content of the children likes Looney Tones It simply doesn’t bring numbers anymore. Because apparently, one of the most culturally significant and influential animated series of all time is not considered “important” enough to stay around.
If this were an isolated move, perhaps it would be easier to brush away. But it is not. It is part of a scheme, a series of ridiculous hostile decisions and borderline against the Looney Tones brand under Zaslav’s leadership.
Remember The day the earth exploded: a story by Looney Tunes? This was illuminated in green as a maximum original before Warner Bros. Discovery took over. Once the Zaslav regime has entered, the film has been put aside, a priority is no longer considered.
In the end he found a house with ketchup entertainment, which, you know, actually wanted to publish it, and it was a fantastic and fun film!
And then there is Coyote vs. Acme. $ 70 million Looney Tones Films that has been tested through the roof with the public. Instead of giving him a chance, Warner Bros. decided to put it on for a fiscal cancellation was a better idea.
The recourse was so serious that the study was forced to reconsider, allowing that it was purchased, but only after being absolutely roasted by fans and filmmakers.
Even last year, when the rumors had the classic disturbed Looney Tones The shorts were leaving Max, Warner Bros. released a statement ensuring fans that it was an error:
“Looney Tones It was included in the error as a title that left the platform. This is not the case and the show will continue to stream on Max. “
Now, just over a year later, those shorts have really gone. So O Warner Bros. did not know what he was talking about then, or lied. Nor is it a great appearance.
This is not alone Looney Tones. It is part of a wider trend under the discovery of Warner Bros. have systematically devalued the classic animation, closing the streaming boomerang service and the online presence of Guting Cartoon Network. Their actions clarify one thing, if it is animated and has a story, it is useless.
And this takes us back to Zaslav. The boy does not seem to obtain the value of Looney Tones. Obviously it has no sense of humor or sees them old and obsolete. But behaving as if it were not worth keeping around it is absurd.
These are not only “cartons for children” are a milestone of American pop culture. They influenced generations of animators, comedians and filmmakers. The removal of these Max cartoons is like a museum that decides to throw away Mona Lisa because modern art sells better.
They can still keep it around and carry out the other projects they want to carry out!
