Warner Bros. Discovery, under CEO David Zaslav , has done it again, this time wiping the original Looney Tunes shorts from Max. You know, those legendary and hilarious cartoons that defined animation from 1930 to 1969?

The original Looney Tunes animated shorts that aired between the 1930 and 1969 are no longer available to stream on Max, Deadline reports. Warner Bros. Discovery removed them from the streaming service as part of its ongoing shift away from children's shows and towards adult and family programming.

Warner Bros. has removed all its original Looney Tunes animated shorts from its streaming service Max. The shorts ran during an almost 40-year period, between 1930 and 1969. This is part of the streamer's new plan to prioritize adult and family programming, as children's entertainment doesn't drive as much viewership.

The company attributed its red ink to its protracted battle with Warner Bros. over the release of "The Matrix Resurrections" and a push into independent production. Village Roadshow said a potential sale last year collapsed because of uncertainty surrounding the dispute.

Village Roadshow blames its troubles on a fall-out with Warner Bros and a failed move into independent film production.
