So "COYOTE VS ACME" is excellent. On it's own it'd merely have been a standout comedy and the best of the "LOONEY TUNES"-adjacent project in decades; in wider context one of the best and most important movies of the year - hard to believe a studio ever made it, easy to see why they wanted to stop it
