I choose to believe the social media baffy stuff is to test the waters for how the general fanbase reacts to the ship because they're planning on making it canon in bye bye bunny
Bye bye Bunny isn’t cancelled tho. It was put on hold, but still planned to be released on tv and streaming. It is worrying the crew was laid off though . . .
So it seems like this movie is going through hell but still kicking
Oh I know that, it’s being put on indefinite hold but it’s gone thru so much development hell already that I’m worried eventually WB will drop it :’( I mean, so many of the crew was laid off. first in september, and then more+ the head writer in february. It’s taken a toll on the crew and I’m just preparing for the worst so poor heart doesn’t break any more :’0
below are direct tweets between Herrera+ some crew

I have not seen enough people talking about the possibility of us getting to see a Looney Toons Broadway style movie about Bugs retiring. Aka "bye bye bunny" I know it's not being released till lime 2025 or 2026 BUT OH MY GOD AM I SO EXCITED!!!!
Honestly the best news I've heard all day. I'm grinning lime an idiot
After starring in a long-running Looney Tunes Broadway smash production, an exhausted Bugs Bunny decides it’s time to trade in sold-out shows for life as a regular rabbit, the synopsis runs.
That opens the door for the ever attraction -loving Daffy Duck to bid to step into the lead role – until he is kidnapped by an obsessive fan who, WBA explains, has more sinister plans for her favorite stage duck.
“With his ticket to Broadway retirement in danger, Bugs sets off on a rescue mission to find Daffy and, with the help of his Looney Tunes co-stars, hopefully, his joy of performing again,” the synopsis ends.
update: The Day the Earth Blew Up is out of HBOMax too (news gets to me so delayed)! Is there hope, cuz that project could get picked up somewhere else right?
According to Cartoon Crave, crew members working on Bye Bye Bunny: A Looney Tunes Musical, have revealed that they have been laid off from the project, which is most likely no longer happening.
