Warner Bros. To Raze Looney Tunes Building On Lot

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: A little cartoon history is about to be history on the Warner Bros. lot: the studio is razing the single-story building where Looney Tunes was once housed.

Deadline understands that Building 131 will be torn down to create more base camp space for the myriad HBO shows that are shooting on the lot.

The nondescript building, which is located in the far corner of the lot off of Forest Lawn Drive, will not be replaced. Observers say the demolition has been in the works for some time and that staff from other shows have been discouraged from parking in the vicinity.

The teardown process could begin as early as next week. A spokesperson for the studio declined comment. Looney Tunes made an unexpected return to the cultural zeitgeist recently after it was revealed that the animated shorts, which ran during the golden age of animation from 1930 through 1969, had been scrubbed by Warner Bros.
