Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime toons: Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max announced today that more than 130 Looney Tunes cartoons will be added to the platform’s lineup on March 1. The catch is, roughly 130 of the shorts currently streaming will be removed. The news comes a few months after fans were alarmed by an announcement error, but the end of 2023 none the less saw the exit of several Adult Swim animated series and a slew of both WB original and third-party films.
The Looney Tunes collection coming to Max starting Friday includes the Oscar-nominated Mouse Wreckers, (1949), Greetings Bait (1943), Rhapsody in Rivets (1941); fan-favorites like Rabbit Fire (1951), Duck Amuck (1953), A Wild Hare (1940) — which marks the first official appearance of Bugs Bunny — and Porky’s Duck Hunt (1937) — the first appearance of Daffy Duck — as well as One Froggy Evening (1955) and What’s Opera, Doc? (1957).
Details on the outgoing shorts were not shared in the announcement.
