Directed by Dave Green and written by Samy Burch, the project was produced by James Gunn and Chris DeFaria. After being shelved by Warner Bros.

The cast includes Lana Condor, Tone Bell, P.J. Byrne, Martha Kelly and Luis Guzmán alongside the leads. The film revives the premise of a legal battle between the cartoon coyote and the fictional Acme corporation, blending chaotic animation with live‑action comedy.
