I'm not usually one to speculate about upcoming movies, but this one's kind of a big deal to me.
So you probably know that I'm a huge Who Framed Roger Rabbit? fan, and I spend a lot of time thinking about how other Western animation works relate to it, so most of my thoughts concern that.
Right off the bat the trailer throws a wrench in my headcanon (not that I was especially married to it). I had always assumed that, in-universe, Warner Bros. bought out Acme sometime in the '80s, around the same time WB trademarked the Acme Corporation as a cartoon prop company in real life. (Yes, they did that. Doesn't stop some people outside of WB from using the name, though.)
But apparently in Coyote vs. Acme, it's the other way around. Which kinda makes my brain hurt. Like, what does this imply about Acme products appearing in Looney Tunes, going back to the '40s? Did Acme somehow get BIGGER than Warner Bros. during a decades long partnership? When did the buyout occur?
I'm assuming WB and Acme were separate entities at some point. (Of course, it almost doesn't matter now that Paramount is going to own WB, which is probably gonna happen in this movie's universe as well.)
Another concern is what they might do to potentially contradict the existence of Marvin Acme. I'm imagining some big oil painting with the words "Our Founder" under it somewhere in the movie.
Now admittedly it doesn't seem as though WFRR ever actually explicitly stated Marvin Acme started the company. Just that he owns it. I guess I always just assumed he was the founder- but maybe he's second generation?
Now I totally don't blame the writers of Coyote vs. Acme for missing this, but the basic premise of suing Acme for faulty products has actually been done before.
There's a scene in the Tiny Toons episode "K-ACME TV" where Calamity Coyote sues Acme for "negligence and faulty workmanship". Sounds pretty similar, doesn't it?
I also wonder who this "Bobbo Acme" is. I assume he's supposed to be the president of Acme in 1991. Obviously there's no relation to Marvin, so maybe he changed his name when he took over the company. It seems fitting to have a toon running the company, though.
Obviously nobody expects the screenwriters of Coyote vs. Acme to have watched every single episode of Tiny Toon Adventures. It's kind of a blink-and-you'll-miss-it segment, and I forgot about it until I rewatched it not too long ago. But I'm not the only one to notice the similarity.
And it does make you wonder how Wile E. somehow never heard of the lawsuit.
On a related note, there's a very obscure book called Coyote Capers released a year earlier in 1990 that references another president of the Acme Corporation, a fellow named "I.M. Ritch"- and with a name like that, I assume he's also a toon.
I guess Bobbo replaced him soon afterwards. (Obviously the writers of Tiny Toons didn't know this book existed.)
...And maybe Acme Pictures specifically bought out WB, I dunno.
And on another related note, I don't think Steve Martin's character "Mr. Chairman" in Back in Action is strictly canon, since the ending of that movie revealed that it's... well, a movie, even in-universe.
I'm also hoping that Coyote vs. Acme doesn't mess with my headcanon that Acme products aren't designed to work for antagonists/villains/predators, because it's funnier that way.
And hey, the Apex company from an episode of Nickelodeon's Oh Yeah! Cartoons series ("Apex Cartoon Props & Novelties") will now be owned by Acme/WB (in-universe and irl). And this is despite them referring to Acme as "inferior products from that other company", which makes me think they've been competitors this whole time. I'll bet the owner Cletus Apex (pictured) isn't too keen on it.
Of course, Apex has appeared in all sorts of other cartoons and comics, including Looney Tunes and Disney, so it sort of doesn't matter anyway.
Am I overthinking all of this? Am I taking what's most likely just a simple gag in a trailer that may not even reflect the content of the movie itself too seriously? Of course I am. Nobody but me cares about this stuff. But it's a still a fun thought exercise.
