Marvin is the most adorable loony toon. Go ahead. Fight me.

I thought the movie was cancelled because Marvin suffered a severe injury whilst on set.

Sounds like a guy who really cares about the original cartoons. Would have been nice to have someone like that on Space Jam 2.

It's a shame this project did not get off the ground. It looked really fun and Marvin is a great character, They also mentioned a live-action CGI Bugs Bunny film that never went nowhere either. For a time I really thought a Live actions Looney Tunes shared universe could be amazing and considering how did Space Jame ANL turned out maybe it could have been the better direction.

I didn't knew Count Dooku was gonna be Santa in that film

This cancelation makes me very angry! Very angry indeed!

Looney Tunes: Back in Action is an absolute blast, more people should definitely watch it. Honestly, I remember it getting almost NO advertising at all as a kid- I only knew that it was a thing after it was out of the cinema, and I totally would have been into it, so I'd definitely call the film's lack of marketing a major factor- or absolutely none of it reached me, at least!

Loving this one! I always wondered about this movie. I'll be honest, I think I prefer your videos that cover more of the development/drama than the actual cancelled plots.

This could have been the start of the Looney Tunes Cinematic Universe, the LTCU

I just now realized his clothe are a direct reference to the god Ares/Mars.

Marvin the Martian Christmas movie? That sounds…well…I have no word to describe that

I usually suspect shifts on the executive level when it comes to promising projects getting cancelled. People coming in like a clean slate under their reign.

I used to make my own video series looking into cancelled animated media, but unfortunately it never took off. So when I properly bring back my RU-vid channel, I'll probably just make a top 10 list instead. Merry Christmas also!

I can't believe this movie was cancelled......

As a huge Marvin the Martian fan when I saw that the movie got canceled I was devastated even though he looks kinda…. disturbing in the art style they gave him. I am so desperate for him to be the main character at least once I NEED MORE MARVIN REP

I'm so glad this showed up in my search results of actually a different video I was searching. There's a quote from AVGN that keeps popping up in my head because it is can't help but laugh at how funny it is and it's from one of his older episodes in 2008. He's about to review a game on his double vision two parter episode although I don't remember if it's from the intellivision or the calico vision. The game is called space Spartan and he asks something along the lines of "what is a space spartan? Is Marvin the Martian a space spartan?" I literally searched AVGN is Marvin the Martian a space spartan and ended up finding your video so even though I didn't find what I was looking for as I was trying to find a clip of him just saying the line as opposed to the entire episode, I'm happy to have found your video

That’s weird to say back in action was received poorly because I consider that a classic

Wow I remember when the test footage for this and Hong Kong Phooey first came out I watched it and I liked it, it was definitely better than the Hong Kong Phooey test which was just plain awful I really wish we got this movie because it had potential to be something fun. Also you forgot to mention that the kid in the test footage is Jake Short who was a Disney star and appeared in series A.N.T Farm, Mighty Med, and also appeared in the Robert Rodriguez kids movie Shorts, I’m not sure if he was supposed to be part of the main cast for the movie or if he was just hired for the test footage.

You should make a video about the canceled silver surfer movie.

I want that movie now, damnit 😣

A Christmas Looney Tunes movie with Mike Myers and Christopher Lee, man that sounds awesome.

How ever canceled this movie made me very angry Very angry indeed

I remember seeing these shorts when they were released and not being particularly impressed. The parts with Marvin in his short were good, but there was this whole "we're relevant!" vibe before he showed up that instantly dated the whole thing, and I feel it might have endep up not very different from something like "The Smurfs", where you get a few faithful characters and a whole deal of family-friendly yet painfully bland misadventures. Though, to be fair, the whole thing was soured by being prefaced by the Hong Kong Phooey short, which was absolutely terrible in every way. Frankly, if that's the direction that particular film was going to take, I understand the studio not having faith in the director.

W have been like the first chipmunks movie a lovable romp. But like WB's ill advised Green Lantern being first step in a DC movie series you don't start with that! You start with Duck Dodgers.and 24½ Century!

How did I never know about the Hong Kong Phooey movie?!

I wish you should have talked about the whole plot, I want to know what happened in the story

Those aren’t BATTERIES!!!!!

Marvin is like my fav toon ;n; I hope he gets another movie one day

Thank you for doing this 😁

Love your videos man.

It should have been Frank Oz to play as Marvin, instead of Mike Myers

Please do an episode of Canned Goods on The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones?

Ngl I watched the test footage recently after discovering this video and honestly kinda bummed it never came to completion

Why did they want to release a Christmas movie during Halloween season? I get that this could be because Marvin is evil. But c'mon.

Ah i remember I was reading news articles back in late 09 but it’s shame. They’d taken off release schedules

If he can't make it in Movie then I hope Marvin the Martian could make his way into Multiversus

This guy was my favorite. He is so underrated

Well at Marvin the Martian made in CGI in Space Jam 2 at the end

Merry Christmas

Marvin got in trouble for doing black face. He's been canceled.

I would to see a version of My Dog Skip but with Marvin the Martian instead of the dog. The idea sounds hilarious to me. "Oh, my boy hates me. That makes me very sad. Very sad indeed. Oh! An open mausoleum! I think I'll go in and let these graverobbers unknowingly trap me inside where I will die alone and unloved. Isn't that lovely?" Would give me a reason to watch the movie again without my soul tearing apart at least.

O_O I REMEMBER HEARING ABOUT THIS!!

Dang bro I forgot I was excited for this.

If the Coyote vs Acme movie does well, I hope it leads to this idea being revived. But don’t cast a celebrity as Marvin, just get Eric Bauza.

I really wish this movie came out. It would’ve been awesome to watch and i would’ve loved to see the boy we saw in the test footage became friends with marvin the martian.

I remember a Pepe le Pew movie being announced around the same time also voiced by Mike Myers I wonder if they were going to try and reboot the franchise with more character films but because they cancelled the Marvin movie they cancelled all other plans

Can you talk about the canned The Smurfs 3 movie please?

You should do a video on the John Travolta gummibär movie called “Gummy Bear 3D The Movie!”

when you said the word destroy Christmas I think that the green furry tall guy will team up with Marvin

You know, seeing how Coyote Vs Acme is going, I feel like this is gonna happen again. (Especially since Warner bros pulled the film from their release schedule.)

What happened to spawn the animated series

It's best that there's not another Santa movie, anyway. It fills children with false beliefs.

Awesome Video! I’m Actually Sad That This Movie Wasn’t Released, Because It Looks Amazing, Fun, And Interesting, And It Definitely Looks Like Something I Would Have Wanted To Watch. And To Be Honest, I Would Rather Watch This Movie Than The Honk Kong Phooey Movie, Which To Me Looks Intresting, But Scary. Also, Can You Do A Video On The Cancelled Dreamworks Animation Movie Monkeys Of Mumbai?

Marvin The Martian: This Cancellation makes sooo angry

I probably would've liked it I was in a Marvin phase long ago and still think he's cute

Oooo Nice

Until the late 90s, I was certain it was Martin the Martian.

nice claymation

Recently, Warner Bros. shelved Coyote vs. Acme despite being completed.

That test footage RUINED my childhood. The kid gives Marvin CBT!! My mom hated the fart joke in the first Scooby movie; she would FLIP at this.

Marvin the Martian was great in that "Duck show" series.

Okay I've watched the video now and yeah I honestly did not know that this movie was in development and well obviously canceled. It does look like it could have been really cool though

I really wished that marvin and the pepe Le pew movie should’ve happen….

Awww man what a shame.. It would have been a cool movie

Do the cancelled finding nemo 2

Shrek as Marvin???

this would have been a sleeper hit

That was not cancelled, that film is in development hell. But there was one or two Looney Tunes movies that were development before being cancelled like Pepe Le Pew (which was certainly cancelled for Space Jam 2) and the live-action Looney Tunes movie Jenny Slate was writing before leaving that project or was cancelled for not being not being what was demanded by Warner Bros.

Eh, Alex Zamm is kind of a mixed bag. He’s known for doing Inspector Gadget 2 (I enjoyed that one mind you) and several crappy straight to video movies at the time, and he also did the god awful Woody Woodpecker movie in the 2010’s. I think having him do this and Hong Kong Phooey was a bit much, and honestly Hong Kong Phooey looked worse and both films were waaay too focused on low brow comedy. I still remember that they were trying to do movies for Pepe le Pew and Speedy Gonzales.

I hate it when stuff gets canceled or delayed it makes me angry …. very angry indeed after all they could’ve tried again in 2022

The whole concept sounds weird

Favorite looney tune

It doesn’t seem like it would be in tone with his character

"Statue of Limitations?!," it's "statute."

Now, I am disappointed at this

If I had a favorite WB cartoon character, it would be between Marvin, Yosemite Sam, and Foghorn Leghorn. HEY WARNER BROS! Make the ####ing movie or I’ll shoot my goldfish.

If you’re interested in any other Cancelled Looney Tunes Films, how about you look into Pepe Le Pew’s Cancelled Film! Surprisingly it was kinda recent and,I haven’t heard too much about it online

I forgot srooge mcduck

Marvin had a movie? but it got cancelled?

This is a good thing that happened. This is confirmation that God is still with us. He couldn't spare us from Space Jam 2. But he spared us from this

congratulation martian

Hey I got a video idea for you

3:17 OH GOD THAT LOOKS DISGUSTING 🤮🤮 WHY DOES IT REMIND ME TOO MUCH OF FOODFIGHT

First Popeye Now this

It happens to Popeyes movie get cancelled too :(

Most movies these days are just plain trash and nostalgia cash grabs. I'm actually glad that they cancelled this. This seems better as a short than an actual movie. With most movies today, the script is made by a group of writers, rather than just one person. Having a group of writers for one project is like the old saying "A camel is a horse designed by committee". Each person has to add their own idea, and a lot of those ideas are just BAD. This kind of writing allows many mediocre and bad writers to keep working, and prevents actual good writers from creating masterpieces. There's plenty else wrong with modern day movies. Things like the excessive use of bad CGI, excessive special effects, forced "Insert Wokeism phrase here", the list goes on. Look at classic films from the past and how well they stand the test of time. The practical effects make things feel so real, even with moments of CGI. Using nothing but CGI now, you can easily tell that what you're seeing isn't there. Relying more on SHOW DON'T TELL and using SUBTLETY to convey ideas and messages. This is what made movies good. To finish my little rant here, movies have failed to follow one little thing, and that thing is best summed up by a quote from Walt Disney. "Don't make movies to make money. Make money to make movies."

Cancelled iron man movie >:(
