If you have a passing interest in film and animation, you've likely heard of Coyote Vs. Acme, a feature film in the Roger Rabbit tradition of blending 2D animation with live action focusing on characters from Warner Brothers' Roadrunner cartoons. The film would have focused on Wile E. Coyote suing the ubiquitous Acme corporation after decades of selling him faulty products, and by all accounts appeared to be a passion project from everyone involved. The movie was, in fact, complete and ready for release- only for Warner Brothers to kill it at the last possible second in the name of a multi-million dollar tax writeoff.

Another confirmation that WB is 100% evil.

    Kind of tragically hilarious that their name is Discovery when they are hiding and killing creative works.

    There have been several WB movies that have named dropped WB as one of the villains of said movie.

    Movies that only existed because WB demanded a sequel.
