===In film and TV=== [[File:Wile E. Coyote's ACME Instant Tunnel at MIT.jpg|thumb|A mural of [[Wile E. Coyote]] smashed into an ''ACME Instant Tunnel'' on the wall of the Rotch Library at [[MIT]]]] Examples which specifically reference the Wile E. Coyote cartoon character include: <!-- NOTE TO EDITORS: Don't add examples merely because they have something labeled Acme in them. Only use examples that specifically reference the Wile E. Coyote cartoon character, please --> * Films, shows and cartoons based on Looney Tunes characters often deal with Acme Corporation. ** The 1988 film ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'' attempted to explain Acme's inner workings in detail. The plot is centered on the murder of the corporation's owner, Marvin Acme ([[Stubby Kaye]]). Many of the film's scenes involve Acme products and its final scenes are set in an Acme warehouse. ** The ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' series expanded on Acme's influence, with the entire setting of the show taking place in a city called "Acme Acres". The show's young [[protagonists]] attended "Acme Looniversity". In one episode, Calamity Coyote sues Acme, accusing it of making products that are unsafe.<ref>{{Cite episode|title = K-Acme TV|series = Tiny Toon Adventures|series-link = Tiny Toon Adventures|number = 64|airdate = 26 February 1991|season = 1}}</ref> ** The corporation appears as the antagonistic force of ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]''. The head offices of Acme are depicted, revealing it to be a [[multinational corporation]] whose executive officers are led by the film's main [[antagonist]], Mr. Chairman, portrayed by [[Steve Martin]]. ** The 2015 [[direct-to-video]] animated film ''[[Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run]]'' portrays Acme as a [[department store]]. ** ''[[Coyote vs. Acme]]'' revolves around Wile E. Coyote suing Acme for their faulty products; it is set to be released in 2026. ** The cartoon series ''[[Loonatics Unleashed]]'' is set in Acmetropolis. * The corporation is mentioned/referenced in ''[[Animaniacs]]'' numerous times, one of the most prominent examples being the episode "Cookies for Einstein", which features product ads for the "Acme Pocket Fisherman" and "Acme Hair Magnet", as well as the "Acme Song". **In the recurring segment ''[[Pinky and the Brain]]'', which would later receive its own spin-off series, the titular protagonists reside in a cage at Acme Labs. **In ''[[Wakko's Wish]]'', the ''Animaniacs'' feature film, characters live in the village of Acme Falls. * ''External World'', a short film by [[David OReilly (artist)|David OReilly]], features Acme Retirement Castle, a dystopian retirement facility for disabled cartoon characters. * In the 1998 Spanish film ''[[The Miracle of P. Tinto]]'', Acme is referenced along a equally fictional competing Spanish business, Mikasa, a pun on ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial]]''. When a Mikasa product appears on screen, it is announced in the same tone as Acme products are in the Spanish dubbing of ''Looney Tunes''. * In the 1978 animated special ''[[Raggedy Ann and Andy in The Great Santa Claus Caper]]'' (written, directed, and co-produced by Chuck Jones), Acme is credited as making Gloopstick, touted as a clear indestructible compound to perfectly preserve toys. Gloopstick is brought to [[Santa Claus]]' workshop by "inefficiency expert" Alexander Graham Wolf, who strongly resembles Wile E. Coyote in appearance and voice. <!-- NOTE TO EDITORS: Don't add examples merely because they have something labeled Acme in them. Only use examples that specifically reference the Wile E.
