And when you do look at them, each cartoon is arranged into a "Season" by year of release. Looney Tunes gets its prime place in the sun on HBO Max, with its own vertical category, right next to Studio Ghibli and DC Comics properties.

Who this should really make quake in their boots is not the NRA or other cultural warriors, but their competitors over at the House of Mouse.
