** The shot of Wile E. Coyote holding up a sign that reads "They don't pay me enough" became popular on social media in early 2024, related to the controversy surrounding WB refusing to release ''Coyote Vs.ACME''.

** WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales complains about political correctness ruining his career, but he's gotten ''way'' more exposure since 2003--in part because of Warner Bros. casting the character with Hispanic voices such as Creator/FredArmisen, Dino Andrade, and Creator/GabrielIglesias and presenting him in a more authentic light, both moves some decry as politically correct (and some praise as good representation).

** WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales complains about political correctness ruining his career, but he's gotten ''way'' more exposure since 2003--in part because of 2003 due to Hispanic communities speaking up about how much they love him and criticizing Warner Bros. for pushing him aside due to supposed offensiveness. Warner Bros. later casting the character with Hispanic voices such as Creator/FredArmisen, Dino Andrade, and Creator/GabrielIglesias and presenting has further helped him in a more authentic light, both moves some decry as politically correct (and some praise as good representation).his rise to popularity and he can now commonly be seen amongst other Loony Tunes regulars again.



** The human characters, while still considered a SpotlightStealingSquad, have also gotten more well liked. Some fans find them more interesting and better integrated into the Looney Tunes universe than either Michael Jordan or [=LeBron=] James in their movies.

** The human characters, while still considered a SpotlightStealingSquad, have also gotten far more well liked.liked. DJ is seen as an endearing underdog who is equal parts goofy and badass (being played by Creator/BrendanFraser helps), and Kate is liked for being a good no-nonsense foil to the rest of the cast and especially for being a strong criticism of corporate decisions. Some fans find them more interesting and better integrated into the Looney Tunes universe than either Michael Jordan or [=LeBron=] James in their movies.

* LowTierLetdown: Daffy in the game. Bugs' double jump is a godsend for a platformer, and most platforming sections and collectibles require a double jump in order to reach. In addition, Bugs' burrowing ability is also needed for progression at a few points, and is useful for finding collectibles such as money, health, and Michigan J. Frog trophies. Daffy, on the other hand, is largely outclassed in comparison: Not only does he lack a double jump, his abilities are either barely utilized or are largely situational (such as his swimming ability), are largely outclassed by Bugs' double jump (such as his flutter ability), or he's only used for a level specifically tailored towards him (such as those requiring his Duck Danger costume). In fact, several levels lock you out of playing as Daffy completely, meaning a majority of the game will be spent playing as Bugs, who's abilities are much more tailored towards a platformer, and such comes across as less situational than Daffy.

** In 2022, the purposely tongue-in-cheek Warner Bros. boardroom scene where Daffy gets fired and the brothers are portrayed as a pair of stuffy, fickle, shortsighted NeverMyFault executives who care more about chasing reboots and trends while dismissing their own beloved characters who they deem unmarketable — ''hits very differently'' since in RealLife they’ve done exactly that; cancelling the [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Batgirl]] film and many other projects as part of their new merger with Discovery.

* ValuesDissonance: Ironically, the scene of Kate invoking this on Bugs's WholesomeCrossdresser tendencies ("Then, funny; now, disturbing.") has become this itself, as the CreepyCrossdresser trope has become increasingly [[DiscreditedTrope discredited]] in the following decades; in fact, Bugs' crossdressing has even received more positive reevaluations in recent years as a result of that shift in attitudes.

* CatharsisFactor: In the video game; the general view on Pepe Le Pew in recent decades, seeing him being cooked alive in the "There's a Toon in My Soup!" mission becomes ''very'' satisfying. You can also freely beat on him for as long as you want, although he'll attempt to hit you back.

* Its ShortSoItSucks: The video game is not very long at all, with only five areas with a couple of challenges that themselves aren't too long. Even when going for every collectable, the game can easily be beaten in a couple hours in a single afternoon.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Bugs spends just about the entire movie being nicer to Daffy than he usually is in the cartoons (albiet, while still being a bit of a [[TheGadfly Gadfly]]) and was the only one who knew right from the start that firing him was a bad idea. He even looked like he genuinely felt sorry for him after the main page quote.

** When the film was first released, it was released to a very mixed reception and performed so badly that it essentially killed off theatrical WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes films til ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy''. In more recent memory however, several fans have come to reevaluate the film and found that, while it’s no masterpiece and has its problems, it’s a fun movie with many enjoyable and funny moments throughout the film. Many even consider it to be an better ''Looney Tunes'' film than the far more popular ''Film/SpaceJam'', due to being closer to the spirit of the shorts and the characters. The mixed-to-negative reactions to ''Space Jam A New Legacy'' have also helped put the film in a better light in comparison.

* OneSceneWonder: Mentioning all the aliens in Area 52 may be cheating, as they're mostly interesting for the ContinuityPorn value, but Creator/JoanCusack's performance as the researcher there is amazing, which is most obvious when you consider that it's ''still'' memorable despite all the cameos and hijinks running around all around her.

* ThatOneBoss: The final boss in the game can be very devious to figure out since it uses a completely new and unwieldy control scheme used nowhere else, and the game never tells you this. In order to beat it, you have to somehow figure out that you need to use ''both control sticks'' to attack, which again, the game never tells you. And if you lose the fight, you go all the way back to the boulder section with Bugs and have to sit through all of the cutscenes again.
* ThatOneLevel: Yosemite's Miner's Millions in Wooden Nickel. The whole level takes place on a roller coaster where the player, as Bugs, needs to pop 30 balloons in order to catch up to Daffy. Problem is, not only is the roller coaster moving at a high speed, there's also bombs scattered throughout the track and no health pickups anywhere, meaning three hits and you're going back to the beginning. Beating it requires having quick reflexes to both see and dodge the bombs (again, while you're on a fast moving vehicle), while you also need to keep adjusting your angle to hit the balloons. It's a jarring DifficultySpike that occurs in the middle of an otherwise easy game, and no other level requires this amount of perfection (well, required anyway). Which brings us to...
* ThatOneSidequest: The Jungle Ruins bonus level, requiring you to reach ''300'' MPH. Problem is, at higher speeds, the game begins throwing a very large amount of cars at you, which require ''very'' quick reflexes to dodge due to the speed Wile E. Coyote is travelling at. And you can only take three hits before you lose and have to restart the entire level from the beginning. Oh, and even if you reach 300 MPH, it's still entirely possible to hit a car and lose since the level doesn't actually end until a second or two after reaching the target speed.
