Explained simply
Coyote vs. Acme is a live-action and animated film featuring Wile E. Coyote, the Looney Tunes character known for chasing the Road Runner. It follows Coyote as he takes the Acme Corporation to court over the gadgets that repeatedly fail him, with lawyer Kevin Avery representing him.
Warner Bros. initially planned to shelve the film, meaning it would not be released, despite its makers having completed it. The decision drew public criticism, and the filmmakers later sold the distribution rights to Ketchup Entertainment, which gave the film another route to audiences.
