Max has dropped the original Warner Bros. cartoons from its lineup, which our TV critic says leaves us with the pastiche and is similar to removing books from a library.

The original Looney Tunes animated shorts that aired between the 1930 and 1969 are no longer available to stream on Max, Deadline reports. Warner Bros. Discovery removed them from the streaming service as part of its ongoing shift away from children's shows and towards adult and family programming.

Warner Bros. Discovery, under CEO David Zaslav , has done it again, this time wiping the original Looney Tunes shorts from Max. You know, those legendary and hilarious cartoons that defined animation from 1930 to 1969?
