Why Max Removed The Original Looney Tunes Series, Just Over A Year After WB Canceled Its $70M Movie

It's a bad day to be a Looney Tunes fan — Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming service, Max, has erased the franchise's original animated shorts from the 1930s to the 1960s from its library. While the removal is utterly disappointing to many, the company explicitly explained why the cartoons are no longer available to stream on Max. Perhaps some won't understand the reasoning, but, at least Warner Bros. Discovery's intentions for deleting the original Looney Tunes cartoons are known, rather than leaving it as a mystery.
