I was able to sit down last night and watch Coyote Vs. ACME.
For me, this film was much anticipated. From the behind the scenes studio drama to looking forward to the personal nostolgia of remembering seeing Who Framed Roger Rabbit in my early teens.
How did it live up to my expectations? It really didn't, wich is not to say it was a bad film. It wasn't. The humour landed, it definately captured the spirit of the WarnerBrothers Saturday morning cartoons, but I think it suffered from being in the shadow of the afformentioned Who Framed Rodger Rabbit. It had to potential to be at least as good! The story had potential, the acticing was there. It just couldn't deliver in the end.
What am I aactually comparing? If memory serves me correctly (and I may need to rewatch Roger Rabbit.), the film could have stood on it's own as either a full live action hard boiled detectice noir piece or as a Disney animated feature, so both adults and children got something out of it.
While Coyote Vs. ACME could have stood as a fully featured Looney Tunes feature film, its live action piece suffered, in the parts that it could have developed drama on the live action side with a little efford, it moved straight into an animated gag, both in and out of the courtroom scenes.
Does this make it a do not watch? I don't think so, it was entertaining. It certainly was better than a lot of films coming out of Hollywood these days, just don't sit down expecting anything groundbreaking like Who Framed Rodger Rabbit.
