“Sports is in the DNA of the Looney Tunes and there is no bigger sports stage than the Olympics,” said Robert Oberschelp, Head of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products. “The Looney Tunes embody the spirit of the Olympics and exemplify teamwork, camaraderie, athleticism, and competition making them an ideal licensing partner for the IOC. Together the products collection will engage audiences of all ages in a fun and playful way and hope to inspire the next generation of fans.”

Anne-Sophie Voumard, Managing Director of IOC Television & Marketing Services stated, "Through the licensing collaboration with Warner Bros.

The Looney Tunes have a long association with sports, including a past product collection featuring Team USA that debuted during the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta. 1996 also introduced fans to the beloved “Space Jam” in which the Tune Squad were cemented as sports icons and paved the way for 2021’s “Space Jam: A New Legacy.”
