WB’s Iconic 263-Episode Series Is Officially Free on Streaming, and Every Episode Is a Masterpiece
Polygon has published a guide to seven essential classic Looney Tunes shorts to watch alongside the new film Coyote vs. ACME, noting that Warner Bros' full back catalogue of 263 Looney Tunes episodes is now streaming for free on Tubi. The recommendations serve as a companion piece for cinemagoers wanting more background on the characters featured in the film, highlighting both Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons and shorts starring other characters who appear in the movie, such as Foghorn Leghorn.
The list includes 1949's Fast and Furry-ous, the first-ever pairing of Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner directed by Chuck Jones, alongside other Jones-directed shorts such as Beep, Beep, which features the ACME rocket-powered roller skates seen in the new film. For Foghorn Leghorn, the author picks a short directed by Robert McKimson, the character's creator, highlighting his comic rivalry with the Barnyard Dog as relevant given Foghorn Leghorn's villainous role in Coyote vs. ACME. The article notes the shorts are awkwardly organised on Tubi, grouped in threes under misleading episode numbers, so readers are advised to search for each title by name plus "Tubi" to find it.
