The nostalgic allure of beloved classics like Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones, and Looney Tunes remains unwavering, defying the test of time. Despite the originals’ departure from the pop culture zeitgeist, the digital era has preserved its essence, with streamers serving as a wistful atlas to the halcyon days of youth. However, the sudden excision of the original Looney Tunes from the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned Max has left fans lamenting the abrupt demise of their childhood wonderland. 

As streamers prioritize adult-oriented and family-centric content, consigning children’s programming to a secondary role, discussions swirl surrounding the future streaming destination of Looney Tunes. For those wondering if Netflix has stepped up to safeguard the cherished memories of yesteryear, here is the scoop.

Just like nothing lasts forever, nothing is gone forever in the era of documentation. Although Max’s abrupt decision to do away with the original Looney Tunes shorts was a tale of heartbreak for fans worldwide, Netflix has assumed as the custodian of carefree times. Looney Tunes, the original shorts, are available on the streaming sensation across 32 countries. While the good news does not apply to the US viewers, they can stream Space Jam on Netflix. 

Space Jam is a 1996 live-action animated sports comedy film revolving around the basketball legend Michael Jordan, who is brought out of retirement by the Looney Tunes characters. Looney Tunes can be found in nations including Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Isr---, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Lithuania, Netherlands, and the Philippines. The title is also available for Netflix viewers in Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Romania, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, and Turkey.

While the scoop bears good and bad news in equal measure, it is certainly not worse than Max’s roster of streaming scapegoats, extending beyond the likes of Looney Tunes only.

Max’s decision to sacrifice Looney Tunes was met with quite the criticism from fans worldwide. But as it turns out, the streaming service did not only upend their streaming window for Looney Tunes. According to a new ComicBook report, eight Scooby-Doo films including Scooby-Doo Zombie Island, Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost, Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy, Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King, Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo, and Scooby Doo! Camp Scare is no longer available to stream on Max.

The list also comprises Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and Scooby-Doo! and the Gourmet Ghost. Although there have not been updates about their new streaming home, Netflix did have a few Scooby-Doo original films until they were removed as part of the February cleansing. Hence, although Netflix may have acted as a streaming savior for some, its anchor could not suffice every drowning streaming boat.
