Right after Warner Bros' streaming service, Max, announced that Looney Tunes was leaving it, that doesn't appear to be the case.
Looney Tunes isn't leaving
In their latest “What's New on Max” post, it appeared that all of the Looney Tunes shorts and movies were being removed. This appears to have been an error, as the post has since been revised.
The streaming service made a statement regarding the matter (via Deadline). “Looney Tunes was included in error as a title leaving the platform,” it began. “This is not the case and the show will continue streaming on Max.”
The only project that appears to be leaving is Looney Tunes: Back in Action on December 31. Back in Action was just the second theatrical feature film in the franchise and a live-action and animated hybrid film that starred Brendan Fraser, Jenna Elfman, and Steve Martin. Timothy Dalton, Bill Goldberg, and Heather Locklear also appear in the film.
A few weeks ago, Warner Bros had announced that they were scrapping Coyote vs. Acme for a tax write-off. The film was already completed and the studio since walked back that decision. They set up screenings for potential buyers of the distribution rights.
The Looney Tunes franchise began back in 1030. They were a series of short films that ran until 1969 before being revived in the 1970s. In the mid-2010s, more new shorts were released by Warner Bros.
Some of the iconic characters from the series include Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Tweety. At least for fans of the Looney Tunes, they can be assured that they aren't leaving Max yet and can still be viewed.
