Will Forte Says Glowing Reviews for ‘Coyote vs. Acme’ “Make It Feel Like You’re Not Crazy,” Admits “I Felt Gaslit For a While”

The cast and crew of 'Coyote vs. Acme' are experiencing a mix of relief and surprise as the film garners widespread acclaim. The movie's journey to the big screen was far from assured. Warner Bros. had previously written it off, and the film's director, Dave Green, admitted to feeling shocked that it was finally being released. The film's reception has been overwhelmingly positive. Critics have praised its deep message and the resolution of a decades-long Looney Tunes mystery.

The Rotten Tomatoes review score has risen above early stellar notices, indicating strong critical consensus. Audiences are also responding enthusiastically, with some outlets advising viewers to run, don't walk, to see it. The film's post-credits scene has also sparked curiosity and discussion among viewers. The film's success is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner dynamic. Critics have noted that there is more to learn from the coyote's never-ending pursuit, adding layers of depth to the seemingly simple cartoon chase.

The film's ability to resonate with audiences on multiple levels has contributed to its unexpected triumph. The open question now is how this success will impact future projects based on classic animated characters. Will Forte's relief and validation suggest a potential shift in how such projects are perceived and supported. The film's journey from being written off to becoming a critical darling sets a precedent for other underdog projects.
