Jesus wept. What a load of complete and utter rubbish! Not funny in the slightest. I struggled through it with a straight face, waiting for it to end. I enjoyed road runner cartoons back in the day, and thought this would maybe be enjoyable, but no. It’s strictly aimed at young kids to enjoy, or adults that haven’t grown up! Doesn’t come anywhere close to Roger rabbit.

A superbly clever take on the Looney Tunes world and the evil ACME! The animation is superb, as well as its blending with reality. The story is so smart and well narrated and told, with good laughs, a bit of the nostalgia factor and a lot of modern messages in the movie too. A solid animation movie for all ages, from kids of today to the kids of yesterday who grew up with these characters. :)

I’m just happy as hell that we actually got to see this movie after it almost never got released. Having Wile E. Coyote finally get tired of ACME products constantly fucking him over and SUING THEM is such a perfect Looney Tunes idea. It’s funny, ridiculous and surprisingly has a lot of heart. I especially love that underneath all the cartoon insanity, it’s about corporate greed, perseverance and the little guy finally standing up to something…

I really couldn't enjoy the actual court scenes. Literally nothing happens. Only liked the smug face of Coyote.

Really good, it’s a crime that Warner Bros had shelved this as a tax write off…

Eu fiquei surpreso que um filme dos Looney Tunes pudesse ser tão bom e o engraçado.. A história é engraçada, o elenco humano é super carismático e a junção de live action com desenho animado funciona muito bem. O filme tem um humor físico caprichado, absurdo e a direção conseguir fazer o publico sentir uma empatia absurda pelo coyote além do filme tem uma mensagem anti corporativismo bem coerente.

As much as I love Wile E Coyote, he is probably best suited to shorts. The reach of this film exceeds its grasp. It did have its moments but didn’t manage to be much better than Space Jam or Who Framed Roger Rabbit…
