Warner Bros. Discovery pulled the unique Looney Tunes shorts off Max

The unique Looney Tunes animated shorts that aired between the 1930 and 1969 are now not out there to stream on Max, Deadline reports. Warner Bros. Discovery eliminated them from the streaming service as a part of its ongoing shift away from kids's exhibits and in the direction of grownup and household programming.

For now, newer Looney Tunes collection and spin-offs stay, like New Looney Tunes and Child Looney Tunes, however the choice nonetheless feels odd as a result of Warner Bros. Discovery simply launched The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Story in theaters on March 14. After all, the corporate is not any stranger to ill-conceived (steadily anti-art) choice making.

The unique Looney Tunes had been final on the chopping block in 2023, when a press launch overlaying exhibits and flicks that had been being added and faraway from Max included the long-lasting animated shorts. Warner Bros. Discovery walked back that announcement, saying it was an error, however apparently plans change. Whereas it appears unusual to take away one thing Warner Bros. Discovery owns and doesn't need to pay an exorbitant licensing payment to supply, pulling exhibits and scrapping the discharge of flicks has been the corporate's latest technique to save cash and earn tax breaks — see one other Looney Tunes-related launch, Coyote vs. Acme, or Batgirl.

So far as this latest deprioritization of kids's programming on Max goes, Warner Bros. Discovery has been engaged on it for some time. The corporate shutdown Boomerang, Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming service for traditional cartoons, in 2024. Warner Bros. Discovery determined to not renew its distribution deal for Sesame Street final yr, too, however removing around 200 old episodes of the present in 2022 was most likely an excellent signal the corporate had misplaced curiosity method earlier.
