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 Start of a Beautiful Friendship
The first of the Roadrunner cartoons sets things up nicely. We get to see some of the precious moments that will appear throughout their "careers." There are refrigerators, rockets, painted tunnels, and on and on. We also get to see the coyote stunned by the speed of the roadrunner when he sees him run for the first time.
