YouTube link I would. 😄 Interesting video discussing both the movie business (inherently corrupt (🙄) )and the actual possible lawsuit of Coyote vs Acme. Fun fact! Gringo40s actually make both Coyote and Roadrunner figures! Personally, I would think that a Roadrunner would be a tough scrawny meal, but I'm not a coyote. Acme products can either be scratch built, or a simple "Who makes 28mm grand pianos or safes?" Google search. Yes. (The only proper answer.) No. (Get a life, you cheap tightwad!) This is ridiculous. (To anyone answering the Poll with this, I don't like you very much.) |

Maybe. How much? Lots of stuff not for sale in Hollywood. People still won't sell me the TV version of "Slow Horses" for which I will certainly pay. "Earth Star Voyager" is still in the Disney vaults, next to "Song of the South." Who owns old Warner Brothers stuff? Still can't buy "77 Sunset Strip" or any of the associated shows. USA Network? "Invisible Man" "The Chronicle" "The Big Easy" (TV version.) And there's an unreleased "Batgirl." |

So .. an animated courtroom drama? Is that what we're talking about? It could be hilarious. |

John Cena is the heel lawyer. Considering he just had a major heel turn in the WWE, that seems extremely realistic. Meh, I never liked him anyway. |

Fun Fact: The Roadrunner never left the road in the cartoon |

Personally I've always thought the perfect movie would open with the coyote crawling out from under his latest attempt gone pear shaped only to be hit in the face by a newspaper blowing by. He glances at the front page and sees @Acme report record profit.. Company president says… And there's a picture of the Road Runner! The movie then covers coyote setting up a competing mail order firm until the fighting destroys both companies and the credits roll as coyote chases road runner back into the desert. Robert |

YES! But only if it is true to the original cartoon and does not water-down the content for fear that today's youth will be permanently scared by the violence. The cartoon was a staple for my Brother and I and he only tried to drop an anvil on me once. I was concerned when I saw that he wrote a letter to the Acme Manufacturing Company??? |

Could we have a live action musical version where the roadrunner and coyote settle their differences and forge a lifelong friendship? That I'd go and see. |
