For context, this movie was ~99% completed in 2023 and had strong reviews from test audiences... until Warner shelved it as a tax write-off, as they had already done for several other near-finished projects.

Always reminds me of Man of the Year with Robin Williams, which was fun if forgettable, but then had to put in this overarching secret evil narrative rather than just having fun with it.
Ketchup also released The Day the Earth Blew Up last year which was another Looney Tunes film that got shelved for tax reasons. Kind of wish someone was able to release Scooby Doo Holiday Hunt

The movie they didn't want you to see... Ha.
Hopefully this does well, I like the Looney Tunes and it looks pretty fun.
Jean jackets are back in style, baby!

I had no idea this was going to be released. Are other cancelled WB movies coming out, too?
