"Freeze Frame" is a 7-minute cartoon from over 35 years ago and it was directed by the legendary Chuck Jones later in his career, way into his sixties already at this point. It stars Road Runner and Coyote and it is really the setting that makes a difference here. They are not in the dry desert this time, but in the cold snow. I wonder if this came out during the holidays. It certainly would have been a good fit with the atmosphere and also all the Christmas melodies in the background. Apart from that, it's the usual. Coyote tries to catch Roadrunner and always fails of course, even with the help of the most modern gadgets. It all backfires and Coyote keeps getting in trouble with all the new inventions that were actually supposed to help him catch his nemesis. I won't go into detail about particular gadgets or scenes, but there were a couple funny ones included in here and the last shot with the Christmas sign was cute too. A good watch during the holidays. Recommended.
