Warners To Tear Down Looney Tunes Building

Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly set to tear down Building 131 on the Warner Bros. Pictures lot, the single-story building where Looney Tunes was once housed.

The aim of the demolition, which could begin as early as net week, is to create more space for the various HBO shows shooting on the lot. The demolished building won’t be replaced by another one either.

Though scheduled for some time, it has raised eyebrows after Looney Tunes became the topic of conversation again recently when the original golden age of animation period of the cartoon was scrubbed from the Max streamer as they deemed it children’s programming and thus “no longer viewed as a priority” for WBD.

Instead, the focus on Max will be on more adult titles including its high-profile big budget shows. That makes this razing of the Looney Tunes legacy building a perfect metaphor for their actions regarding of one of the studio’s most storied IPs.

Several other spinoff versions of Looney Tunes remain on the Max service, but nothing made earlier than 1995.

Warner Bros. Discovery sold off the currently in-release “The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Story” to indie distributor Ketchup Entertainment, and canned the in post-production “Coyote vs. Acme” film for a $70 million tax write-off.
