Wile E. Coyote finally gets his day in court, trading dynamite and anvils for a courtroom battle against the company that sold him every one of them.

What is Coyote vs. Acme about?

Coyote vs Acme flips the classic Looney Tunes chase on its head: after decades of exploding contraptions and rocket skates that never quite work, Wile E. Coyote hires a struggling billboard lawyer to build a case against the Acme Corporation itself. The 2026 family comedy blends live action with animation, following the lawyer as he digs through a mountain of failed product evidence while corporate executives scramble to bury the lawsuit before it reaches a jury. Directed by Dave Green, the film leans on the gap between cartoon logic and courtroom procedure for its comedy, letting a silent, endlessly unlucky coyote become the most sympathetic plaintiff in movie history. Along the way the human cast gets pulled into a conspiracy bigger than one bad catapult, as Acme's leadership realizes a win for the coyote could open the door to every other customer they have ever wronged.

About the cast

Will Forte leads as the lawyer taking on the case, with Lana Condor and John Cena rounding out a supporting bench that also includes Tone Bell, Martha Kelly, Luis Guzman, P.J. Byrne, and John Early. The ensemble plays the material straight, which is exactly what a courtroom-versus-cartoon premise needs to land its jokes.

Context & significance

The film draws on decades of Road Runner shorts, reworking the Coyote's endless string of failed Acme purchases into an actual legal grievance rather than a punchline that resets every episode. Adventure, comedy, and family elements sit side by side, aimed at viewers who grew up on the original cartoons as much as at kids discovering the character for the first time. It arrives as one of several recent projects revisiting classic animated properties through a live-action lens, though it keeps its own tone distinct by staying grounded in a single, absurd legal premise rather than a broader cinematic universe.
