HBO Max’s ‘Looney Tunes’ Purge Has Discovered a Sanctuary in Tubi

Looney Tunes‘ seek for a streaming dwelling has reached a cheerful ending—and a few comfort after being prominently featured on HBO Max initially after which being wiped from the platform. The sequence has settled on Tubi, the place followers can now discover over 700 episodes.

After being removed from the HBO Max media library back in March, nearly all of the traditional Looney Tunes cartoons had been in limbo, however fortunately, Tubi swept in to avoid wasting them. The rescue all however mirrors the prophetic algorithms-are-evil plot of Area Jam 2, the place the Tunes’ franchise world was being threatened with deletion off the fictional Warner 3000 streaming service. Like Jordan and LeBron, Tubi is the actual MVP right here!

It’s actually neat to see the Looney Tunes be broadly out there on a free platform and never a paywalled streaming service; it jogs my memory of the accessibility of watching them without spending a dime after I was little. Looney Tunes cartoons had been how I found classical music, slapstick heroics, and a love for animation. I’m delighted a brand new era has such available entry now too.

The HBO Max authentic Looney Tunes Cartoons sequence, which started in 2020, in addition to latest spin-offs equivalent to Bugs Bunny Builders and Tiny Toons: Looniversity, are all that stay on the WB Discovery streaming service. It’s also the streaming dwelling of The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Film, which loved a theatrical run—pulling in $15 million on the field workplace—after Ketchup Leisure stepped in to provide it a big-screen showcase. (Ketchup can be giving the upcoming Coyote vs. Acme its theatrical launch.)

This Tubi information is a win for animation and free entry to the formative classics in popular culture. Really you possibly can by no means underestimate the Looney Tunes characters making a cartoony Hail Mary comeback, regardless of which company tosses an anvil at them.
