Roadrunner rises?

 

Turns out the two Warner Brothers execs who killed release of the new Wile E. Coyote vs. Acme movie to take a tax break, never saw the picture.

    Bean counters.

The cartoon-liveaction flick stars John Cena.

Meanwhile...

"It is SUPERB! In a Looney Tunes film, you expect gags, laughs, slapstick, and broad visual comedy, and this film delivers on that promise in the most satisfying ways possible. 

But you know what you don’t expect? Feeling so deeply for a character that you have to hold back tears. 

This is as rich a psychological portrait of a cartoon character that has ever been put onto film and it delivers the kind of emotional gut punch that in all my years of loving Looney Tunes I never believed was even possible."
