Critics, per Wikipedia

Dedicated to everyone who posted, shared, held up signs and spoke out when it counted. This film made it to the big screen because of you. As with the initial cancellation, TheWrap's report on the film's possible final cancellation drew online criticism. The hashtags #ReleaseCoyoteVsAcme and #SaveCoyoteVsAcme, along with other hashtags relating to it, started trending on February 9, 2024 (the date of the article's release), and continued to trend for the following weeks. Eric Bauza addressed this in an improvised exchange between Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck during his speech at the 51st Annie Awards, with him saying "I hate to be political, but release Coyote vs. Acme!" in the latter's voice.…

    Eric Bauza’s final film performance, as of right now, is Coyote VS ACME. Roadrunner’s testimony is one of his final character performances in the film. He says “Beep” around 46 times, that’s all he says. Yet it says everything about his strengths and passion as a voice actor, with just one word.

    I'm not comfortable with folks saying COYOTE VS. ACME was "worth the wait." I'd argue the opposite. It was worth NOT waiting for. Warner Bros. shelving a whole film as a tax write-off, potentially forever, doesn't become forgivable if it's good. That's what the word "unforgivable" is for.

    Coyote vs. Acme is easily the best feature film starring the Looney Tunes characters: a funny, clever dissection of the relationship between two classic characters, an amusing courtroom farce, and the best live-action/cartoon combination since Roger Rabbit. Highly recommended for adults and kids.

    Coyote Vs ACME really is a tremendous victory for movies in general honestly, I’m not even joking. The film would’ve been locked up forever if not for everybody rising up against greedy studio execs and demanding its release. It proves that People REALLY do have the power against corporations.
