The series features "1,000 minutes of new one-to-six minute cartoons featuring the brand's marquee characters", voiced by their current voice actors in "simple, gag-driven and visually vibrant stories" that are rendered by multiple artists employing "a visual style that will resonate with fans", most noticeably having a style reminiscent of the styles of [[Tex Avery]], [[Bob Clampett]], [[Chuck Jones]], [[Friz Freleng]] and [[Robert McKimson]].<ref name="deadline hbomax" /> According to co-executive producer [[Peter Browngardt]], "We're not doing guns, but we can do cartoony violence β TNT, the Acme stuff.

''Bugs Bunny Builders'' began airing on Cartoon Network as part of [[Cartoonito]] and [[HBO Max]] on July 25, 2022; ''Tweety Mysteries'' would also air on [[Cartoon Network]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 17, 2021 |title=WarnerMedia Upfronts: Cartoonito Launches on HBO Max with 20 Series |url=https://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/warnermedia-upfronts-cartoonito-launches-on-hbo-max-with-20-series/ |access-date=February 17, 2021 |archive-date=March 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210310112336/https://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/warnermedia-upfronts-cartoonito-launches-on-hbo-max-with-20-series/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=February 17, 2021 |title=WarnerMedia Upfronts: Cartoon Network, HBO Max 'Redraw Your World' with More Kids Content |url=https://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/warnermedia-upfronts-cartoon-network-hbo-max-redraw-your-world-with-more-kids-content/ |access-date=February 17, 2021 |archive-date=February 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210217193838/https://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/warnermedia-upfronts-cartoon-network-hbo-max-redraw-your-world-with-more-kids-content/ |url-status=live }}</ref> ''Bugs Bunny Builders'' is aimed towards preschoolers; while ''Tweety Mysteries'' is a live-action/animated hybrid.{{citation needed|date=February 2022}} However, the latter was scrapped for unknown reasons. A sequel to ''Space Jam'' titled ''[[Space Jam: A New Legacy]]'', starring basketball player [[LeBron James]], was released in theaters and HBO Max on July 16, 2021, after a [[Los Angeles]] special screening on July 12, 2021. It is a film with a story of LeBron James' second son, Dom, who gets kidnapped by an evil [[AI]] named Al. G Rhythm ([[Don Cheadle]]), into the Warner Bros. server-verse. LeBron then assembles the Tune Squad to play against the algorithm and get his son back. It received generally negative reviews and underperformed at the box office.
