REVIEW: Coyote vs. Acme (2026 Film) - Starring Will Forte and John Cena

Coyote vs. Acme is a terrific return to the world of Looney Tunes, combining live action and animation in a way that recalls Who Framed Roger Rabbit. When Wile E. Coyote decides to take Acme Corporation to court over its disastrous products, he teams up with struggling lawyer Kevin Avery, played by Will Forte. John Cena provides an entertaining adversary as Acme's corporate lawyer, while familiar characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Foghorn Leghorn help bring the story to life. The premise is inspired, turning decades of cartoon mishaps into a legal comedy with a surprisingly relevant target in corporate greed.

The animation is excellent, the humour captures the spirit of the original cartoons, and the relationship between Wile E. and Avery gives the film genuine warmth. It also explores friendship, perseverance and standing up to powerful organisations without losing sight of its comic roots. The main drawback is the pacing, with the 100-minute runtime feeling slightly long and some sections needing a tighter edit. Even so, Coyote vs. Acme is funny, inventive and thoroughly entertaining. I loved it, and its clever premise and excellent use of the Looney Tunes characters make it well worth watching.

REVIEW: Toy Story 5 (2026 Film) - Starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack

Toy Story 5 brings Pixar’s long running toys back into a world shaped by modern tech, as Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the gang face disruption from Lilypad, a tablet designed to reshape Bonnie’s social world. Jessie becomes the emotional anchor of the story, with her journey tying together ideas of identity, purpose and what it means to be forgotten in a changing environment. The animation is excellent throughout, and the voice cast, particularly Tim Allen as Buzz, delivers consistent energy that keeps the film engaging.

Despite its strengths, the film often feels like it is circling familiar ground. The central conflict between imagination and technology is clear but not especially fresh, and at times the story leans too heavily on nostalgia rather than pushing forward. The pacing also feels stretched, with more mileage than the material needs. Still, it remains a well made, emotionally steady entry in the franchise, even if it struggles to justify its own existence in 2026.
