Overview

The video is a review of “Coyote vs. Acme,” praising it as a surprisingly heartfelt Looney Tunes–style hybrid that’s also more substantive than it first appears.

Main plot / premise (as discussed)

  • The reviewer explains the film follows Wile E. Coyote teaming up with a small-time lawyer (Will Forte) who’s essentially an underdog.
  • Together, they sue Acme for faulty gear/tech that’s allegedly caused Coyote pain for years.
  • The reviewer frames it as underdog justice vs. a giant corporation, with the added twist that Coyote doesn’t speak, making the lawyer/Coyote dynamic the emotional and comedic engine.

Highlights & what makes it stand out

  • Looney Tunes DNA: The reviewer loves the film’s authentic feel—calling out that the creators clearly know and respect classic Looney Tunes.
  • Looney Tunes cameos/jokes:
    • Some jokes are mainstream and easy to catch, while others feel like “deep cuts” that reward real fans.
    • They note it successfully modernizes slapstick in a way that still lands.
  • “Unexpected heart”: Despite thinking the human characters were mostly “whatever,” the reviewer is impressed by the amount of emotion in the story—especially between Wile E. Coyote and the fear-of-failure lawyer.
  • Tone comparison: They pitch it as Looney Tunes meets “Better Call Saul”—a courtroom comedy with real suspense and a “locked in” nefarious plot to uncover.
  • Courtroom comedy appeal: The reviewer argues it’s smart enough to be good for kids (rather than treating them like they’re stupid), because it has weight and real ideas.

Reactions / behind-the-scenes note

  • The reviewer is also frustrated/confused that Warner Bros. tried to bury the movie rather than release it, suggesting it may have been tied to tax write-offs (they admit they only heard rumors).
  • They joke about Warner Bros. history with platforming or copyright issues, turning their frustration into a running bit about Warner Bros. repeatedly causing problems.
  • They emphasize the film is worth watching and buying on Blu-ray.

Jokes / memorable comments

  • A repeated frustration bit: Warner Bros. “sucks all around” and “killed it, but it rises again.”
  • The reviewer quips about Acme-style corporate wrongdoing and ties it to real-life studio behavior (including copyright claim jokes).
  • They call the courtroom comedy setup “Looney Tunes meets Better Call Saul.”
  • They suggest Coyote vs. Acme isn’t exactly “kids-only animated,” but still works for kids because it’s clever.
