Discovery has removed the entire lineup of classic Looney Tunes shorts (1930-1969) from its streaming service, Max. The company confirmed the move to Deadline, saying the streamer will prioritize adult and family programming,

The original Looney Tunes animated shorts, which ran from 1930 through 1969, have been scrubbed by Warner Bros. Discovery-owned Max.

Warner Bros. appears to continue its landmark campaign for Worst Mega Corporation of 2025, following moves like shutting down Shadow of Mordor developer Monolith Productions and killing its deal with long-running educational children’s show Sesame Street,

That’s all folks!” The original ‘Looney Tunes’ episodes are no longer streaming on HBO’s ‘Max.’ And it’s not just the Warner Brothers’

Warner Brothers has officially removed its entire catalog of original Looney Tunes shorts from its streaming service, HBO Max.

It just got a lot harder to go back and watch your favorite Looney Tunes classic episodes thanks to a major streaming removal from Max this month. Looney Tunes is one of Warner Bros. most iconic franchises as the animated shorts helped form a base for the company’s success today.

The move is just the latest to indicate that kids programming isn’t a priority for the streamer. Max is ready to grow up. That may seem like a strange position for the streamer to take, considering the HBO programming that calls the streamer home is synonymous with having an older audience.
