Overview
- The original Looney Tunes shorts (1930-1969) have been removed from Max as of March 16, 2025, as part of Warner Bros. Discovery's shift away from children's programming.
- Newer Looney Tunes spin-offs like 'Looney Tunes Cartoons' (2020) and 'Tiny Toons Looniversity' (2023) remain available on the platform.
- The removal coincides with the theatrical release of 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie,' the first fully animated feature-length film in the franchise.
- Critics and fans have expressed frustration, calling the move a disregard for Warner Bros.' cultural heritage and a blow to animation history.
- Some classic Looney Tunes shorts can still be accessed on free platforms like YouTube and MeTV, offering limited alternatives for fans.
