Space Jam: A New Legacy was scrapped because of a furore over the animated French skunk s alleged contribution to rape culture , 11 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons were pulled for being too offensive.
The cartoons, which were produced and released by Warner Bros, were withheld from syndication in the US in 1968 by United Artists, a US digital production company founded in 1919 by Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D W Griffith as a way of allowing actors to control their own interests.
To this day, the short animations have remained off-air, resurfacing online and at a TCM Classic Film Festival in 2010, according to reports.
