A fair few of the Speedy/Sylvester cartoons are entertaining, while Speedy has never been a favourite of mine I've always had a soft spot for Sylvester. Road to Andalay is not a great cartoon but it is a good one nonetheless, certainly better than pretty much all the Daffy/Speedy cartoons. The plot is very formulaic, if you are familiar with any of Sylvester and Speedy's other cartoons there is very little different here. The animation continues to be very limited, although the animation in early Speedy cartoons was reasonably good, the backgrounds are sparse and generic and the colours are flat rather than vibrant. The character designs are not too bad though. Speedy is far from annoying as he could be with Daffy but he's not particularly funny either. Bill Lava's music is lively and energetic and doesn't sound canned like it did in the Daffy/Speedy outings, it's not exceptional but it at least has character and enhances the action pretty well. The gags are standard but also quite entertaining and doesn't have a recycled vibe, Malcolm in the plane and the ending are the best parts, while the dialogue is suitably witty and the cartoon is reasonably well-paced. Sylvester is as cunning as ever, he takes the laughs well and you do feel sympathy for. He and Speedy are decent together(though Sylvester is much funnier here) and their relationship actually makes sense, unlike when Speedy was partnered with Daffy with a few exceptions. Malcolm steals the show from under both of them both, he is a hilarious character who is even more of a threat than Sylvester and the best bits are with him. His rapport with Sylvester is also far more inspired than Sylvester being with Speedy. Mel Blanc as ever provides stellar voice-work. On the whole, decent if not great cartoon that is worth seeing for Malcolm. 7/10 Bethany Cox

This is the best Speedy that doesn't have Slowpoke Rodriguez. I love this cartoon! Sylvester is a great foil for Speedy, Malcolm the Falcon is hilarious and the ending to the cartoon is perfect. Just an all-around great short. Well worth trying to see. Most highly recommended!

As I had said, I have found negativity towards the Speedy Gonzales cartoons that were made in the late 1960s', but I frankly enjoy them including this one. In this Speedy cartoon, Sylvester doesn't want to lose face as a mouse-catcher, takes on falconry to catch the fastest mouse in all of Mexico. So that is all I have to say about the story - spoilers you know.

I thought the animation of Sylvester getting peck by Malcolm the falcon is really funny. I don't care if the rest of the animation is shoddy like most Looney Tunes fans think, but it's the story is what I love about this cartoon. So anyway, I thought this cartoon is another Speedy Gonzales favorite.
