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.

Featured review
Fast and Furry-ous is a nearly excellent first Road Runner cartoon
Fast and Furry-ous is Chuck Jones' first cartoon starring the Road Runner and While E. Coyote. It was originally supposed to be a one-shot but there was so much demand that a sequel was made four years later which then became a series. Since this was the first one, I noticed a few differences. One, the backgrounds were more detailed than in subsequent ones. Also, when the bird sticks out his tongue a few times, you don't hear the sound effects that Treg Brown provided on later entries. And only once as the Coyote falls do you then see the ground from a sky-view before some smoke appears. Otherwise, there's the spot gags that are similar to other series entries like the scenery While E. paints over a rock formation that the Road Runner runs right through but the Coyote bumps into hard! And there's some Acme products, of course! Very funny first entry to a classic, if formulaic, series. By the way, Road Runner is described as Accellleratii Incredibus while the Coyote is Carnivorous Vulgaris.
