Coyote vs. Acme stays faithful to its 1990 source and classic Looney Tunes roots, delivering straightforward courtroom satire and cartoon chaos without injecting political or social messaging. The result is safe, neutral entertainment that earns a low 2/10 woke score.
Coyote vs. Acme delivers a straightforward corporate satire drawn directly from Ian Frazier’s 1990 New Yorker piece and classic Looney Tunes shorts, with Wile E.
Coyote hiring billboard lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte) to sue Acme over decades of defective products that repeatedly injure him during Road Runner chases. The narrative centers on courtroom underdog antics, product malfunctions, and cartoon logic clashing with legal procedure, featuring cameos from Bugs, Daffy, Foghorn Leghorn, and others—none altered in race, gender, or identity from source material. Human roles such as Paige Avery (Lana Condor), Kevin’s niece and intern who pushes the case forward, and opposing counsel Buddy Crane (John Cena) are entirely new original characters with in-story justification tied to the legal firm and family dynamics.
