Hi An :D, what are your thoughts on Coyote vs. ACME??? What do you know about the movie, and what are your expectations?
HIIIIIIII , YESSSS!! First of all, I have to say that I'm SUPER excited. It's so close that I can practically smell it... XD
Mmmm, well, as for what I know about the movie: before it was canceled, I remember hearing about some parts of the script that had been shared, as well as some concept art. For example, I believe Foghorn Leghorn and Tweety were supposed to be antagonists or have some kind of villainous role (?) I don't know if that's still the case in the current version, although, from what I remember, Tweety eventually turns against ACME and files a lawsuit against them too.
I also remember some pretty curious things, like Bugs making phone calls (?) and the Road Runner eventually saving Wile E., since he's one of the main witnesses in the case. And I think there was even a scene where he would somehow become gigantic (?) XD. In the end, Wile decides to keep their usual dynamic (the whole trying to catch the Road Runner but never actually succeeding) because the Road Runner helped him and, deep down, they're actually friends.
AAAA, and there was also that sort of asylum/refuge for Toons. I'm not sure which characters were supposed to appear there, but I believe Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Betty Boop, and a few others were going to be there. Although, honestly, IDK if any of that is still in the current version of the movie. I read a lot of these things ages ago and I don't even remember where, so I have no idea how much of that material actually made it into the final version. But at the time, I was SO excited every time I found out some new detail.
I also remember that, if I'm not mistaken, the characters were originally going to be hand-drawn, but it seems like they eventually went with 3D models instead. I'm really curious to see how the final mix of techniques turned out.
And as for what I expect from the movie... I was going to say that I don't want to set my expectations too high, BUUUUUT, I CAN'T DO THAT. I always try to go into every movie hoping for the best, completely abandon my critical mindset, and end up loving it simply because IT EXISTS TT.
But beyond that, I really want it to succeed. Not just because I want the movie to be good, but because its success could show that there's still an audience interested in seeing new Looney Tunes productions. And obviously, if it does well financially, that could open the door for Warner to feel encouraged to make more projects with these characters.
AND THAT MAKES ME THINK OF BYE BYE BYE BUNNY, which still hurts. Maybe, if Coyote vs. ACME does well, there's a chance they might reconsider projects like that. And then there's The City of Lights... AAAAA, I LOVED THE CONCEPT ART FOR THAT MOVIE SO MUCH! TT
It also makes me especially happy that Wile gets to be the main character in this movie. After so many years of basically being "the guy who chases the Road Runner," seeing him take on a more central role feels really nice. I think he deserves it so much.
As for the story itself, maybe this is asking for too much, but I'd love it if the Toons had at least a little bit of depth. Not necessarily turning them into completely serious characters, but exploring their problems a little, what they're worried about, and how the circumstances of the movie end up affecting them.
BUT ANYWAY, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
PLEASE LET IT BE SUCCESSFUL!!!
LOOK AT THE MARKETING! I think the campaign is SO creative, and at least from my perspective, you can really tell how much love they're putting into it. The whole thing with releasing ACME documents, building this entire narrative around the company, and making the promotion feel like part of the movie's universe is SUCH A GREAT IDEA. (He escuchado la publicidad hasta en la radio , piedaaad , me encanta T^T)
So yeah, my expectations are through the roof, even though I'm trying to pretend they're not. XD I just want the movie to do well, for people to enjoy it, and for the studios to realize that WE STILL LOVE THESE SILLIES
