Last November, Warner Bros. Discovery's Max streaming service announced that it was firing Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and the Road Runner. To be more exact, it included its entire library of Looney Tunes cartoons on a list of content that would be leaving the service at year's end. Animation lovers everywhere exploded in rage. Then Max hastily retracted the cancellation, claiming that the whole announcement was due to an error.
The people running the streaming service are apparently so busy wrangling so much content that some of the greatest cartoons of all time became afterthoughts. Even now, the service shuffles Looney Tunes in and out of its lineup, which seems parsimonious for a company that owns all of 'em.
MeTV Toons, a new TV channel, shows nothing but cartoons starring iconic characters like Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Popeye, Betty Boop, and more. It follows a traditional TV channel model, offering ad-supported shows at scheduled times, a rarity in the Netflix era.
