Coyote vs. Acme

Coyote Vs. Acme is screening at Culture House Sunderland on Sunday 22 November, from 1pm to 3pm in The Media Studio. It's a two-hour run, so you're in and out by mid-afternoon.

If you've spent your life watching Wile E. Coyote get the short end of the stick, you know the drill: the ACME gear always fails, the boulders always fall on him, and the Road Runner always gets away. This movie flips that on its head. Coyote decides he's had enough of the malfunctioning products and teams up with a personal injury attorney to sue ACME, taking on the massive company behind all the Looney Tunes gear. It's a legal battle with a cartoon at the centre of it, and it puts a whole new spin on those years of misfortune.

It's certified PG, so it works as a family outing on a Sunday afternoon, and at two hours it's a proper length for a cinema trip without taking up the whole day. The screening is in The Media Studio, one of the spaces inside Culture House Sunderland, so it's right in the heart of the city.

One of the best bits is the pricing: it's pay-as-you-feel, with suggested amounts of £0, £3, £5, or £7, so you can give what you can. That makes it easy to bring along a few people without worrying about the cost. The screening runs from 1pm to 3pm on Sunday 22 November at The Media Studio, Culture House Sunderland.
