Max has dropped the original Warner Bros. cartoons from its lineup, which our TV critic says leaves us with the pastiche and is similar to removing books from a library.

No other streaming service had prioritized history in that way — but all good things must come to an end, and so, too, has the era of classic Looney Tunes on Max.

Fans of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang have been left without a streaming home to watch their favorite toon pals. Max has quietly removed the original Looney Tunes animated shorts -- produced between 1930 and 1969 during animation's golden age -- from its streaming lineup.
