Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere was a gap of nearly three years between this and the second Road Runner cartoon, Beep, Beep (1952). Chuck Jones only intended it to be a one-shot cartoon, but the reception given by the public made him change his mind. He was especially persuaded by a letter from a captain in the Naval Air Force, who claimed that pilots were imitating the Road Runner's "beep beep" call while doing maneuvers.
- GoofsWhen Wile is tossing the boomerang up and down his tail disappears for a few frames.
- Quotes
Road Runner: Beep, beep!
- Crazy creditsRoadrunner (Accelerati Incredibulis)
- Alternate versionsIn the ABC version, the scenes where Wile E. Coyote tries to explode the Roadrunner with dynamite and Wile E. being caught in the explosion were cut.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Bugs Bunny/Road-Runner Movie (1979)
Featured review
The first ground-breaking short in the series of Road Runner films.
The Road Runner films form one of the most famous theatrical cartoon series ever. They are also some of the most hilarious in terms of visual comedy, and never get old. Though there is just a simple formula that is exploited throughout, and it is repetitive, it never goes bland. This also means no cartoon stands out, nothing particularly memorable. But this cartoon does shine brighter, not only because of its greatness as entertainment but because it was the debut of both stars, and the makers were not short of ideas. The usual facial expressions and high-quality - though slightly outlandish due to the early date - animation is combined with fresh and new gags, which were at the time not dated and only the cream of the crop of ideas were used. Highly recommended.
