It has to be said, "there goes the neighborhood."
And the Next Cancelled Show is...

All remaining 255 Looney Tunes cartoons have been pulled from MAX.
The originals? That's sad. Those things were classics.
I wonder if they're old enough to be considered public domain like Steamboat Willie. They should be getting close. I remember some of them pushing WWII-era "War Bonds" and talking about gremlins infesting C-47 Skytrain cargo planes.
No, not in the public domain yet. Those old works go into the public domain 96 years after they were first broadcast/shown to the public. Steamboat Willie was released in 1928 and went into the public domain in 2024 – so the Looney Tunes stuff from the 1940s still has it at least 10 years under copyright.
That's all folks.
I don't have MAX, but that is a damn shame for those that do. Seriously, with the gutting of all WB material from there, what's the point of having it?
I mean, why get rid of LOONEY TUNES? LOONEY TUNES????!!! Those are timeless classics!

Probably because nobody is watching them. I am guessing Looney Tunes is something only old people might still be into. What's terrible about this though is how much lost media is going to be created by the desire to look at just the bottom line.
Which makes having physical media all the more important.
You'd think that, but sometimes it's the opposite, too many people are watching something compared to the money it is bringing in. Server fees, Royalty payments etc.
Village Roadshow Pictures has declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
In the filing they list $100-500 million in assets against $1 billion in debt.
They were the studio behind The Matrix, Fury Road and The Joker.
As part of the bankruptcy, those properties, along with 98 others, are free to be sold to other studios.

and in typical fashion they'll probably be sold low price so those handling the bankrupt can get their money, some of the secured creditors will get a bit and everyone else will be royally screwed.
Like class action lawsuits, the only ones that make any real money in these scenarios are the lawyers.
Sad, but rinse and repeat...

"Disney Presents..."
Ugh…. Sad but probably prescient.
Please, no. They've got their grubby little hands in so many things already. Damn mouse has more than enough cheese.
Tubi: Starting April 1, 2025, some Looney Tunes content will be available for free with ads, thanks to a licensing deal with Warner Bros.
