Introducing Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner!
7 July 2012
Warning: Spoilers
It can be argued that if you've seen one Coyote and Roadrunner short you've seen them all as they all feature Coyote using ever more elaborate methods to try to catch the Roadrunner and inevitably getting caught up in the trap himself... that is to miss the point though; the fun is seeing what hare-brained scheme Coyote will come up with next and then watch to see how he gets hurt himself.

This is a great introduction to the two characters; it is fun because unlike most shorts of this type the protagonist is the pursuer not the pursued. Roadrunner does little more than run very fast and say 'beep-beep' whereas Coyote spends time thinking up elaborate schemes, creating fantastic traps and using assorted equipment all of which are doomed to backfire. There are several such schemes here; my personal favourite being when he strapped a freezer to his back to produce ice to ski on; very inventive and very funny. If you are a fan of animation this one is a must see; not only because it introduced these two long lived characters but because it is genuinely funny and features fine animation.
