It turns out that Warner Bros. Discovery actually won\u2019t be pulling Looney Tunes<\/em> from Max.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n On Monday, in a 4:02PM ET email with the subject line \u201cWhat\u2019s New on Max This December,\u201d Warner Bros. Discovery listed Looney Tunes <\/em>and The Looney Tunes Show<\/em> among the titles leaving Max on December 31st. Even though Looney Tunes<\/em> is a signature Warner Bros. franchise, removing episodes of the cartoon wouldn\u2019t be unprecedented; Warner Bros. Discovery pulled seasons 16-31 of the show from HBO Max at the end of last year<\/a>. The company also recently shelved the nearly finished Coyote vs. Acme <\/em>film<\/a>, though that movie is now reportedly being shopped around<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But a few hours later, the company announced that Looney Tunes<\/em>\u2019 inclusion on the list of Max removals was apparently an error. In a revised version of the email sent on Monday at 9:43PM ET, Warner Bros. Discovery said that \u201c\u2018Looney Tunes\u2019 was included in error as a title leaving the platform. This is not the case and the show will continue streaming on Max.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Warner Bros. Discovery already has a reputation for cutting streaming content, including the nearly completed movies Batgirl<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Scoob! Holiday Haunt<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>so potentially losing Looney Tunes <\/em>both felt like a major blow and another disappointing reminder of the ephemerality of content on streaming services. There still is one Looney Tunes<\/em> loss from Max, unfortunately: the updated list says that the movie Looney Tunes: Back in Action<\/em> will be removed from the platform on December 31st. But, at least for now, you\u2019ll still be able to watch classic Looney Tunes <\/em>cartoons into 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
