The Curious Case of Coyote v. Acme

It appears there was a movie actually made, that now is on the verge of being entirely canned, centered on the premise of Wile E. Coyote suing Acme Company over defective products.  Based on a short 1990 humor piece in the New Yorker (link), somebody thought it would be a good idea to expand the concept into a feature-length film.  Hm.  Honestly, that part has me a bit skeptical, but according to an article at The Wrap it did well in test screenings.  (when done here, read the rest of the linked article, it gives quite a bit of background)  Now it seems that a clique of studio execs, infected by the "developed by our predecessors, gotta hate on it" bug and having never bothered to actually watch the film, after shopping it around at an inflated price, have decided to trash it for the tax write-off.

This is either the best decision-to-dump since Batgirl or the worst since Firefly, and frankly, I don't have the data to decide which.  However, now that the ruckus has ensued, I want to see it.  (Heh, now there's a marketing ploy, and a new sort of twist on the Streisand Effect.)  Still, if this thing disappears into the memory hole over a cheap tax dodge, Warner Brothers will have earned the enmity of creative minds across the planet.
