Warner Bros. has removed hundreds of classic animated episodes from its streaming service HBO Max. Among the cull are 16 seasons of Looney Tunes and three seasons of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Flintstones.

On Decem𝐆be🐼r 31, the streaming service removed half of its Looney Tunes library, including shorts from 1930 right up to 2004. Per , among those axed were 'One Froggy Evening' and 'What’s Opera, Doc?'

, the reason for removal was down to the content being licensed to HBO Max from Warner Bros. until the end of 2022. While they’re both part of the sam𝔉e company, the move not to renew these💖 licenses was likely to reduce content expenses.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:HBO Max has been steadily 🐻🔯removing content over the past year. Among the shows to be pulled from the streaming service include the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:recently canceled Westworld and steampunk series The Nevers.

According to Vulture, ⛎this 𝓀is not the plan for the removed Looney Tunes and The Flintstones episodes, which will not be returning to another platform. Instead, viewers will have to wait until Looney Tunes shorts start entering the public domain in eight years.
