Warner Bros. Animation concept films. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Coyote vs. Acme (2026) and Who Frame Roger Rabbit (1988), two live action and animated cross over films with characters from the Warner Brothers Animation back catalogue. We start by discussing our reactions to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. We move to the latest film, Coyote vs. Acme, and acknowledge what a simiar film it is to Roger Rabbit. We discuss the tumultuous history of Coyote vs. Acme, including the almost tax write off shelving and then how the film saw a wide release. We talk about the Intellectual Property of both Warner Brothers and Disney, and marvel at the range of characters that show up in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. We wonder at the absence of Kathleen Turner's lack of credit as Jessica Rabbit. We finish by praising both films for their technical and cinematic prowess.
