Coyote vs. Acme opened with a 100% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 15 reviews published so far. The comedy, which was shelved by Warner Bros. during a cost-cutting effort, is now in theaters.

The reception has praised the film’s sharp humor and its tribute to the legacy of classic animation. Critics have also noted that the story tackles contemporary themes through an energetic legal battle filled with courtroom-drama references.

Inspired by a classic satire published in the New Yorker in 1990, the film swaps the highways for the courtroom. After suffering explosions and accidents caused by Acme Corporation’s defective products while trying to capture the Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote decides to sue the industrial giant.

The case is taken on by an unlucky lawyer played by Will Forte, known for The Last Man on Earth. Representing Acme on the other side is Buddy Crane, played by John Cena. The character is also the former mentor of the lawyer defending Coyote.

The cast also includes Lana Condor, known for To All the Boys I've Loved Before. Behind the scenes, James Gunn serves as a producer, Sammy Burch wrote the screenplay and Dave Green directed the film.

The early reviews have praised the balance between animation and live action, the return of the Looney Tunes and the way the film introduces these characters to new viewers while still engaging audiences familiar with the franchise. Reviews have also highlighted the story’s emotional impact and its message about corporatism.

Coyote vs. Acme is now playing in theaters.
