Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-43VeYGiPM
Warner Bros.’ bizarre 2023 decision to shelve its live-action/animated film, Coyote vs. Acme, sparked outrage both in the industry and among fans online. But the film is finally being released, and Ketchup Entertainment, its new distributor, recently released the trailer. All I can say after watching that trailer is, what the heck was Warner Bros. even thinking? Granted, a killer trailer doesn’t automatically mean it’s a great film, but all the winning elements are here.
God that trailer looks so good. While I’d have preferred traditional animation over cell-shaded CGI, it still looks faithful - and has real Roger Rabbit potential. Here’s hoping it can live up to its trailer 🤞
Anyone got a trailer that’s not on YouTube?
A little disappointed with the obvious cell-shade CGI. Especially obvious with Foghorn Leghorn. Would have been a nice tribute to the characters to keep them 2D animated.
I dunno, I think it looks good. I mean, at least they didn’t try to go all Pixar with their models like every other movie based on a cartoon these days. They look like the characters from the original Looney Tunes.
It would be visually jarring if they didn’t make some sort of compromise to allow 2D characters to interact with a 3D world. I think they did a decent job.
Have you not seen “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”
That’s not what I’m talking about. Look at Leghorn’s beak. It’s a rigid 3D object rendered in 2D.
Traditional animation requires the artist to reconsider the “3D” aspect of each character in every frame. Things end up a bit more wiggly, but it also allows the artist to inject more personality into the characters. It’s what fundamentally makes them cartoons.
The reason is that traditional animation is unionized, CGI animation is not.
Is that true? Doesn’t seem that there’d be a difference.
It means 2d animators have to be paid and treated well, while 3d animators are easy to exploit.
I know how a union works. My question is asking if it’s really true that 3D animators aren’t covered in the existing animators union.
It’s be like the teamsters only represented drivers in diesel trucks and not electric trucks. The tools shouldn’t matter.
I’m unnaturally excited as a grown ass man to see this! I grew up with the Bugs Bunny & Roadrunner Show, and I’ve been excited about this since I found out about it. I was really angry about it being shelved, and I’m grateful Ketchup saved it. I can count on one hand how many movies I’ve gone to see on opening day (I’m not going to speak of Phantom Menace…), but I will be at the first showing for this on opening night.
If it’s half as good as Will Forte says it is, it’s going to be great!
Ok so supposedly warner didn’t release this for a tax write off right? What happens now that it will be released? Repay the tax write off?
Ketchup Entertainment bought the film from them in a different tax year (i’m pretty sure), so they’d pay taxes on that income… I think?
I would hope. But then “Hollywood accounting” is a term for a reason.
The trailer does make me want to see this. If it’s as good as I hope, it could be a Who Framed Roger Rabbit. If it’s as bad as I fear, it could be the Space Jam reboot.
It’s either as good as Who Framed Roger Rabbit or it’s trash. I hope they put the time and resources into it but I am not very optimistic
I worked on it, it’s not Roger Rabbit, but it’s a decent film. Lots of human element and a feel good interesting take on Acme vs Coyote.
I’m happy for those who were involved in its production.
That looks fun and a creative way to use existing IP.
I’d never watch it, but I bet it will find a decent audience.
I’ll be seeing this in theaters rather than at home just to stick it to Warner Brothers for trying to write it off. It definitely doesn’t look bad to me, though you can tell from the trailer the art isn’t going to be on par with Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
