There were also commonly seen in Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons.
The Tiny Toons Adventures series expanded on the Acme universe, with the entire setting of the show taking place in a city known as "Acme Acres." The show's teenage protagonists attendeed Acme Looniversity.
The movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit attempted to explain Acme's inner workings in greater detail. The movie's plot centers around the murder of Marvin K. Acme, the multi-millionaire founder and CEO of Acme Incorporated.
