Having scrubbed them from their Max streaming platform. By the way there’s no politics with a small P in this just they don’t seem to believe there is any financial value in the brand.

: A little cartoon history is about to be history on the Warner Bros. lot: the studio is razing the single-story building where Looney Tunes was once housed.

Deadline understands that Building 131 will be torn down to create more base camp space for the myriad HBO shows that are shooting on the Burbank, CA. lot. The nondescript building, which is located in the far corner of the lot off of Forest Lawn Drive, will not be replaced.

Observers say the demolition has been in the works for some time and that staff from other shows have been discouraged from parking in the vicinity. The teardown process could begin as early as next week.
Looney Tunes made an unexpected return to the cultural zeitgeist recently after it was revealed that the animated shorts, which ran during the golden age of animation from 1930 through 1969, had been scrubbed by Warner Bros. Discovery-owned Max. Since the streamer prioritizes adult and family programming, kiddie programming such as Looney Tunes and Sesame Street was no longer viewed as a priority.
