The best Road Runner cartoon ever., 4 March 2002
Author: crusefamily

TO BEEP OR NOT TO BEEP (1963) is my favorite Roadrunner cartoon ever made. The best gag is when the coyote tries to catch the roadrunner in a noose. The catapult gag, originally from ZOOM AND BORED, is even better here. This only made it to one tape, The Classic Chase. Too bad, because this is a gem. The end of this one was surprising. There's more great gags in between, such as the wrecking ball. There's never a bad moment in this cartoon. The best Looney Tunes were made in the sixties, but this tops them off. Watch this and laugh out loud.

Grade: A+
