We’re All Wondering It: Why Exactly Does WB Hate Bugs Bunny?

With the plan to raze Studio 131, the home of Looney Tunes, on their lot, Warner Bros.has, for all intents and purposes, turned their backs on Bugs Bunny and company. It’s the final nail in what seems to be a concerted effort to distance themselves from the iconic franchise. Shelving completed projects, pulling the shorts off of Max, and more are clear indications of a seeming distaste for the beloved toons. The announcement of new animated Looney Tunes movies at CinemaCon 2025, without any real details, just seems to have been crafted to dodge the onslaught of negative press. The only smart thing they’ve done of late is to sell the controversially shelved Coyote vs. Acme to Ketchup Entertainment, allowing the film to finally be seen by the public, but it still reeks of washing their hands of the iconic franchise. So why does Warner Bros. hate Bugs Bunny?
