After a rocky time with HBO Max, the Looney Tunes have found a home on an ad-supported free streaming service. As of Friday, 789 short films from the early days of the franchise can now be streamed on Tubi.
Tubi is starting to become something of a home for Bugs and Daffy. The newly available shorts join the 2010s The Looney Tunes Show, The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, and Tom and Jerry: Chuck Jones Collection on the streamer.
This comes after Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO Max’s parent company, removed a large chunk of its Looney Tunes library in 2023 from the platform. The film The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie was originally supposed to debut on HBO Max in 2022, but it got Batgirl‘d. Ketchup Entertainment eventually released the movie in theaters in 2024. (It’s now streaming on HBO Max. Irony!) Coyote vs. Acme got the same tax-write-off treatment, but is now set for a 2026 theatrical release.
All in all, it’s looking like the 2020s might be the decade of the Tunes revival — or the decade of Tubi.
