Warner Bros. Discovery has removed original Looney Tunes animated shorts from its streaming platform Max as part of a shift towards adult and family programming. Although newer Looney Tunes series remain available, the removal is perplexing given the recent theatrical release of The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Story. This decision follows a broader trend of deprioritizing children's content, evidenced by the shutdown of Boomerang and non-renewal of the Sesame Street distribution deal. The company's motives appear rooted in cost-saving measures and strategic repositioning.
The removal of original Looney Tunes from Max highlights Warner Bros. Discovery's shift from children's content to adult programming, raising questions about its long-term strategy.
Despite releasing new projects related to Looney Tunes, such as The Day The Earth Blew Up, the company continues to deprioritize its classic children's content on streaming.
