    Ketchup is such a small distributor (they released last year's Hellboy), and I think they are purely buying these Looney Tunes films in order to make a bigger splash in the industry.

    Gareth West’s distributor-financier Ketchup Entertainment is negotiating an all-rights acquisition in the $50M range for the animated/live-action hybrid project. Ketchup last year rescued the same studio’s The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie.

      Is that a problem? If they can pick up a lot of these discarded projects for pennies on the dollar and let them see the light of day, they can make as big of a name for themselves as they want in...

        This didn't read as a praise or criticism to me, rather just an observation.
