I don't even know what they have left other than Smiling Friends, Primal and Rick & Memey
Last year Adult Swim announced a couple of new shows at Annecy (Common Side Effects and Get Jiro), I guess we'll hear more about those here and then get another couple of announcements
It's adult animation in general so they can talk Max alongside adult swim, they still have harley quinn, the kiteman spinoff, fionna and cake, suicide squad isekai, maybe announce something new? and adult swim has yolo going still alongside what you listed, and at least 3 new shows coming, and they could talk adventures with superman too?
>The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie
Oh so this isn't getting Zaslav'd after all
Well yeah, the movie has been out of WB's hands for half a year now

What the frick does CN have? Disney took their motto of "best place for cartoons" on the 2020s
I'm starting to not like the word "storytelling"
Or at least a current day executive's interpretation of the word storytelling
>Coyote Vs Acme not even mentioned
Lol, animation Twitter is gonna have another meltdown.
WB's had the movie available for acquisition for half a year and not a single studio in Hollywood wants to touch it with a ten foot pole so we will never hear anything of it ever again
Didn’t studios make offers for it by Zaslav basically wants a ridiculous amount?
WB is too stubborn to sell it for anything but an outrageous price.
WB just wants the cost of production ($70-$80 million) for it, which isn't an outrageous price. Prime Video paid $100 million to Sony for the rights to Hotel Transylvania 4, which way less people cared about
don't care, just hope someone records the animation stuff
Nobody ever records anything at Annecy, but we do get descriptions of footage. We were told how Mutant Mayhem looked before there was even one trailer out because of its screening at Annecy.
why is it that comic con always has leaks but no one goes to annecy to try and leak anything?
comic con is specifically geared towards fanboys who the studios want to do their marketing for them. Annecy is still mostly an industry event.
So I can't buy a ticket to Annecy as a random guy?
No, moron
Bumping. Here's a new look at the Looney Tunes movie.
Looks decent. Would be a shame if someone wrote it off for tax breaks...
They are legally not allowed to do that, they already sold it
another
>Looney Tunes movie literally about an alien invasion
>Marvin the Martian isn't in it at all
What are the chances?
Maybe they took over Mars?
>putting Steven Universe on the same level as the works of Tex Avery and Chuck Jones
Disgusting
Where the frick is Bye Bye Bunny?
Tax write off. Say bye bye to Bye Bye Bunny
It takes some fricking balls for WB to show up to Annecy. The audacity…
I hope someday I could have that level of blind confidence.
Maybe not,Bye Bye Bunny isn't say Bye Bye at all,nor Coyote Vs ACME,It's still a unsolved mystery,isn't it?
