“QUALITY IS OUR #1 DREAM”

―ACME Catalog

The ACME Corporation (aka ACME Co., ACME Inc. and ACME Industries) is a cartoonish megacorporation known for its unfathomably large range of products, seemingly producing almost anything imaginable (although the quality of goods may vary) and having the fastest delivery service ever seen. The ACME Corporation has been an omnipresent brand in cartoons, early cinema and many other forms of media since the 1920's.

Overview

The ACME Corporation is a massive conglomerate spanning the toon world over, with an omnipresence in almost every field of business imaginable, from anvils to missiles and bird seed to spaceships. There is nothing the ACME Corporation cannot provide for the customer in need and all at affordable prices and interest rates made all the more convenient by the speediest delivery service ever seen. So when you think of anything, think of ACME! A name you can trust!

Real History

The ACME Corporation has been featured across multiple forms of comedy media since the 1920 Buster Keaton film Neighbors and from then on became a staple of early fiction, ranging from films to radio and from animation to comics, and becoming a permanent staple in western animation, mostly due in part to the popularity of real world companies having frequently used ACME as their company name throughout most of the 20th century, resulting in the name becoming synonymous with business and its subsequent frequent use in fiction.

ACME however has become most associated with the early Golden Age of American animation, especially Warner Bros. cartoons due to its frequent appearances in Looney Tunes cartoons and early cartoons of the era. Because of this, the article focuses on covering the ACME Corporation as its presented in western animation, where it is the most fleshed out.

Staff

ACME appears in a wide range of media, however only Looney Tunes and Warner Bros-related media has established a corporate hierarchy which is listed below. Notably, the head of ACME is constantly changing due to a new one always being introduced for whatever reason.

Founder of ACME

“If it's Acme, it's a gasser!”

―Marvin Acme

Founder of ACME, Marvin Acme

Marvin Acme (alias "The Gag King") was the late founder and namesake of the ACME Corporation who made his sole appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

A jovial and prank-loving tycoon, Marvin Acme's love for pranks, gags and goofy gadgets made him the prop kingpin of the entertainment industry, supplying his products to every cartoon studio in the business and even to the cartoon residents of Toontown. His love for pranks and wacky gadgets was only outweighed by his great love for toons, a love which may have gone too far in some places, but ultimately it was this fondness for toons that encouraged him to watch over the world of toons which was connected to the back of his main ACME Warehouse via the charming cartoon border town of Toontown.

Sadly, Marvin Acme's reign as Gag King, head of ACME and protector of Toontown was put to an end when he was murdered via safe-to-the-head by a mysterious rogue toon who later turned out to be the corrupt district judge of Toontown, Judge Doom, who sought to kill Acme and take over Toontown in order to turn it into a freeway. Thankfully, his plans were foiled by detective Eddie Valiant and cartoon star Roger Rabbit who even found Marvin Acme's will which signed over complete ownership of Toontown over to its toon residents.

Owner of ACME

“ACME products are safe, if used properly!”

―Bobbo Acme

Owner of ACME, Bobbo Acme

Bobbo Acme is the owner of ACME and corporate giant of ACME Acres. A proud, smooth-talking and corpulent business-rat with a love of cigars, Bobbo Acme prides himself on maintaining his company's reputation and proving that ACME's products are safe to use, stating that any malfunctions of his products are not the fault of ACME but rather the fault of clumsy and unlucky customers, such as coyotes.

Mr. Bobbo Acme has even gone to court personally to defend his company when sued by regular ACME customer Calamity Coyote for faulty products. Bobbo spared no time in proving his company's innocence and effectively proved that ACME products do indeed work as advertised, with the fault lying solely on the incredible bad luck of coyotes.

ACME Chairman of the Board

“We cannot have nine-year-olds working in sweatshops making ACME goods... when three-year-olds work for so much less!”

―Luther J. Chairman

ACME Chairman, Mr. Luther J. Chairman

Luther J. Chairman is the juvenile and evil chairman of ACME's Board of Directors. An immature and bratty manchild with grand visions, Mr. Chairman valued profits above all else and was willing to manipulate or destroy anyone who stood in the way of his ambitions, not even being above using subjugation and child labor to increase profits. Mr. Chairman was not satisfied with ACME simply being a financial powerhouse, wanting to make the whole world subservient to ACME's will by using the ancient and mystical Blue Monkey diamond which had the power to turn the entire populace of the world into monkeys which he could control, with the end goal of making the entire world into ACME's monkey slaves and having them manufacture ACME products for free, and once that's done he would turn everyone back to normal and sell back the products they made to them at exorbitant prices, repeating the insane cycle over and over again.

Luckily, Mr. Chairman's malicious plans were foiled by cartoon stars Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck and their human friend Damien Drake who turned the power of the Blue Monkey diamond against Chairman, transforming him into a harmless little exasperated monkey.

Presidents of ACME

ACME President, Yosemite Sam

• Yosemite Sam - President of ACME, head of ACME's Golden Nickel Casino, owner of the Gladiatoons franchise, several cattle ranches, CEO of a fig farming enterprise, and serves as an assassin for ACME. At one point during his presidency, Yosemite sought to take over the island of Tazmania and convert it into the Taz-Land theme park as well as capturing its native tasmanian devils for his zoo, but his plans were foiled by Taz the Tasmanian Devil who dealt a humiliating defeat to the esteemed greedy western tycoon.

President Road Runner and the ACME Board of Directors

• Beep Beep the Road Runner - President of ACME, at least in one of the two possible endings for the video game Desert Demolition. Aside from his possible role as president, the Road Runner serves as a supervisor in the product testing division of the company. It also seems that he manages ACME subsidiaries responsible for designing the blueprints for their catapults and other large products, such as the Road-Runner Blue-Print Co. and Road-Runner Manufacturing Co.. He also works as a delivery bird for the company's ACME Instant Delivery service.

Vice Presidents of ACME

The Vice Presidents of ACME are mostly a gaggle of corrupt and incompetent bootlickers whose only use seems to be kissing up to Mr. Chairman and obeying his insane demands. All of them are rather literally named in a way that explains their respective roles as VP as well as their overall personalities.

• ACME VP, Bad Ideas
• ACME VP, Stating the Obvious
• ACME VP, Nitpicking
• ACME VP, Unfairly Promoted
• ACME VP, Rhetorical Questions
• ACME VP, Never Learning
• ACME VP, Child Labor
• ACME VP, Climbing to the Top
• Danny - Assistant Jr. vice-president at ACME HQ.

Other Management

• Board of Directors - The executives that serve under the ACME chairman. Among their ranks were Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester J. Pussycat and Tweety Pie.
• Elmer J. Fudd - Head of E.J. Fudd Enterprises, ACME executive director, ACME hunter, millionaire, owns a mansion and a yacht.
• Montana Max - Head of his own corporate empire, and the head of K-ACME TV and the ACME Ice Cream Spoon Company.
• Colonel Shuffle - President of ACME Toys.
• Dr. Frankenbeans - Head of ACME Biotech and evil mad scientist with a love for inhumane experiments and genetic manipulation.
• J. Frederick Acme - Head of ACME Labs. Quite possibly just an alias used by the company's genetically-altered lab mouse known as the Brain who officially acquired ACME Labs following its brief buyout by the Microsponge Corporation.
• I.M. Ritch - President of the ACME Motion Pictures Company.
• Wile E. Coyote - Agent, inventor, product-tester, spokesperson and top customer.
• Bugs Bunny - Head of ACME Looniversity, served as an ACME executive director, and worked as an ACME supplier, even acting as Wile E. Coyote's personal ACME product supplier.
• Marvin Martian - Serves as an agent for ACME as well as an inventor of ACME products on Mars.
• Willie N. List - An army pixie and ACME district representative.
• Demonia the Tasmanian She-Devil - Luther Chairman's assistant and bodyguard when disguised as Bob Smith.

ACME Labs

ACME Labs

ACME Labs is the experimental product and research division for ACME Corporation which develops and tests new experimental equipment, as well as testing new experimental consumables on lab animals for signs of side-effects in sometimes horribly painful and comical experiments.

Out of all of ACME Labs' achievements and failures, none is more notable than the creation of the ACME Gene Splicer, a remarkable marvel capable of granting lab animals sapience and enhancing a simple rodent's intelligence to superhuman heights or just make them incredibly stupid by sapient standards. It was through these experiments with the splicer that the megalomaniacal would-be conqueror and brilliant lab mouse "The Brain" was born (as well as his brain-addled sidekick Pinky) whose sole mission is the complete conquest of the world... with little to no success, and who also briefly founded a few failed business ventures to achieve this goal, such as the "Planet Brain" celebrity restaurant and "Brainy Acres" farm. These experiments also gave rise to the far more brilliant and former president of the Microsponge Corporation, Snowball. who briefly managed to orchestrated a hostile takeover of ACME Labs which was eventually undone by the machinations of The Brain.

ACME Labs is made possible by its proprietor J. Frederick Acme, who in truth is most likely just an alias used by the Brain who successfully acquired the rights to the labs after an epic confrontation with his fellow test subject Snowball and still used them as a cover for his various plans.

ACME Mall

Frogs that cannot sing need not apply! Singing rabbits are always welcome though!

ACME Warehouses

The first ACME Warehouse

ACME Warehouses are the proud storage space for all of ACME's countless assortment of products, amusement rides and comedy props, and also serve as valuable testing sites for gathering new data on experimental products. For all the comedy gold stored within, ACME Warehouses are not a fun place to be and dangers can be found in every corner due to its many explosives, deadly weapons and perilously hanging anvils and safes which could unexpectedly drop down on any unsuspecting intruder when they least expect it, and the warehouses of the more three-dimensional persuasion will undoubtedly prove deadly to non-toons.

As a testament to its dangers, the very first ACME Warehouse also served as the final resting place for ACME's beloved founder Marvin Acme, who sadly met his end here following a safe drop to the head courtesy of a murderous rogue toon, serving as one of the few grim reminders in ACME's whimsical history.

AKMEA Furniture Company

Commercials

Trivia

The Acme Tool & Manufacturing Company (pictured circa 1924) that would go on to supply essential machinery for animation studios

An original Acme Photo-Sonics, Inc. cel puncher

• The frequent usage of ACME in early cartoons is due to many animation teams at the time using machinery and cel punchers produced by the real life Acme Tool & Manufacturing Company (later rebranded as Acme Photo-Sonics, Inc. in 1952) which operated in California, the location of many celebrated animation studios, as well as due to ACME being a fairly common brand name in the early 20th century, as companies with ACME in their names were often put near the top of the phone books and the name served as good advertisement for them, as ACME was also a Greek word meaning "peak" or "zenith".
• According to an interview with Chuck Jones, the reason why Wile E. Coyote never stopped using ACME products or sued them was because the ACME Corporation lets coyotes test their products for free.
  • In both Looney Tunes: Back in Action and Tiny Toon Adventures, the respective chairmen of ACME in each work tell Wile E. Coyote and his apprentice Calamity Coyote that there is nothing wrong with ACME products, and that the coyotes are simply too incompetent to use them correctly, which is further proven by Bobbo Acme when he uses an ACME Catapult with zero issue while it only malfunctions for Calamity.
• ACME is often regarded as one of the largest corporations in media history due to the massive size and scope of its industry and products.
