CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

ShelbyTMItchell We get a great look at the would be classics like the Road Runner and Wile E Coyote for the very first time make their debut. As we see the Road Runner a fast bird that is uncatchable and Wile E Coyote who is desperate and smart.But he is not as smart as the Road Runner as don't let just being fast fool you. As the Road Runner proves to be clever along the way.Also we see Wile E making his first ever relationship with the now famous and infamous fictional company Acme. As we would later find out those products from that "company" are wasted. In order for Wile E to get the Road Runner.Still we see years later that we are suppose to support Wile E and his character develops. But without the Road Runner, there would be done of that as we also love us some Road Runner!

Michael_Elliott Fast and Furry-ous (1949)*** 1/2 (out of 4) The first ever Coyote and Road Runner film turns out to be a very enjoyable one. As would become the norm, the Coyote is hungry and wanting to eat the Road Runner but he's simply not fast (or smart) enough to catch him. This first short has plenty of wonderful laughs as the violent action is constantly finding hilarious ways to injure the Coyote. One of my favorite gags in the film is when the Coyote pants the side of a mountain to appear like a road so that the Road Runner will kill himself by running into it but things don't work out as planned. Another funny jokes includes the Coyote making a ski machine to build up speed but of course this doesn't go as planned either. Director Jones was a fan of silent movies and that's easy to see with these shorts.

slymusic "Fast and Furry-ous" is the first in a series of remarkable cartoons featuring the forever popular Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. Director Chuck Jones and writer Michael Maltese really got the series off to a great start, and the Road Runner and Coyote eventually became two of the most popular cartoon characters ever devised.It appears to be much easier to remember these Road Runner/Coyote cartoons for their particular gags than for their titles. In any case, here are three of my favorite highlights from "Fast and Furry-ous." First off is the repetitive gag of the Coyote painting a tunnel onto a solid, flat rock and the Road Runner speeding straight through the rock into the imaginary tunnel. But, as always, when the Coyote tries it, he smacks directly into the rock. When the Coyote disguises himself as a little girl and places a school crossing sign in the middle of the road, he gets trampled by the Road Runner as he skips across the road. The cunning bird briefly returns disguised as a little girl as well and holds up a sign that reads "ROAD RUNNERS CAN'T READ." And finally, the most elaborate gag in the picture: in order to successfully ski after the Road Runner, the Coyote straps a large refrigerator onto his back, the idea being that the fridge can churn out ice cubes, which can then be crushed into snow by an attached grinder. This plan works out briefly, but the attached motor gives out (watch the Coyote's troubled facial expression when this happens) and the Coyote plunges off a cliff."Fast and Furry-ous" is an overall enjoyable cartoon that was the start of one of the most beloved animated series ever made. Bravo to Chuck Jones and his entire staff for masterfully creating all these hilarious Road Runner/Coyote cartoons.

Akbar Shahzad (rapt0r_claw-1) The Road Runner films form one of the most famous theatrical cartoon series ever. They are also some of the most hilarious in terms of visual comedy, and never get old. Though there is just a simple formula that is exploited throughout, and it is repetitive, it never goes bland. This also means no cartoon stands out, nothing particularly memorable. But this cartoon does shine brighter, not only because of its greatness as entertainment but because it was the debut of both stars, and the makers were not short of ideas. The usual facial expressions and high-quality - though slightly outlandish due to the early date - animation is combined with fresh and new gags, which were at the time not dated and only the cream of the crop of ideas were used. Highly recommended.
