The best movie with humans and cartoons since 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?'

What poetic justice and what irony surrounds Coyote vs. Acme. Poetic justice because Warner had this film finished in 2023 and decided not to release it due to a tax benefit scheme. The pressure from the workers who had been involved in the film led Warner to finally sell it off to another studio (Ketchup Entertainment) after years of not knowing what to do with it. And here begins the involuntary metaphor: Warner tried to destroy a film about a poor wretch, the Coyote chasing the Road Runner, who takes legal action against a giant corporation, the brand of all kinds of gadgets Acme, which has mistreated him for years by selling him defective products. A film trampled by the system about a character tired of being run over (and incinerated, blown to smithereens, thrown off a cliff...) by the system. This meta dimension is now an inevitable part of the film.

And the irony? Well, apart from the fact that the whole thing seems like another Coyote adventure, the film... is another Coyote adventure. This means it is cruel but naive, sometimes surreal, always inventive (no one has ever demonstrated with such persistence that the process of trial and error is a great creative stimulus), with a prodigious sense of speed and timing for the gag. What is understood as a hilarious film, indeed. The sacred scriptures of that great genius of visual humor in cartoons that was Chuck Jones are followed to the letter. With a tone of criminal investigation and an integration of the animations into real-life settings and characters that recall the legendary Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, the film is a huge party with the characters that made the Warner animation division great (there are cameos from almost all of them; brilliant Bugs Bunny as a whistleblower), but, gulp, without Warner.
