SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

TheLittleSongbird Don't take my title the wrong way, I don't hate Speedy Gonzales(the fastest mouse in all Mexico, as we now know him today), far from it, but his cartoons have been hit and miss. Some have been surprisingly good and funny, but others suffer from lacklustre, rushed animation and from being predictable. Speedy Gonzales is actually one of the better Speedy cartoons, actually worth watching. The animation is not too bad here, not absolutely brilliant but it is one of the better-looking Speedy cartoons. The music is nice too, as are the visual gags and dialogue. The story is simple but decently-structured, Speedy is funny and tolerable and Sylvester is a worthy foil(better at it than Daffy I'd say). These characters are all brought to life by the unique vocal talents of Mel Blanc, who does brilliantly as always. Overall, definitely worth seeing. 9/10 Bethany Cox

slymusic Directed by the supreme Friz Freleng, "Speedy Gonzales" is a cartoon starring - guess who - the celebrated fastest mouse in all Mexico! Co-starring is Sylvester, one of the funniest felines in cartoon history, who encounters plenty of difficulty in trying to prevent Speedy from stealing all the cheese from the Ajax Cheese Company to feed all of his "compadres".Just a few highlights: In trying to net Speedy, Sylvester gets dragged over a saguaro cactus and through a narrow pipe! He also gets caught in his own mousetraps and steps on one of his own land mines."Speedy Gonzales" is a clever cartoon with plenty of bravado for Speedy and plenty of trouble for Sylvester. I suspect that the Spanish that is spoken at the beginning of this cartoon is mostly fabricated, which only adds to the humor. I also like Carl Stalling's wonderful music score, particularly the charming melody at the very beginning when several starving mice gaze at the cheese factory from behind a wire fence, and the snare drum cadence shortly afterward as Sylvester marches in front of the fence.

ccthemovieman-1 What a timely cartoon....50 years later....although illegal immigration isn't the issue here - it's stealing and eating some cheese! Here we see a bunch of little mice (in sombreros) behind barbed wire at the border in Mexico. Just 50 yards away on the American side is the Ajax Cheese Company....and those mice want that cheese. Guarding the border is the hapless Sylvester the Cat.They draw straws to see who is going to race over give it a shot. Timid "Manuel" draws the short straw, but he lasts only seconds. The mice throw away is sombrero in a pile, signifying he's the latest casualty in the unsuccessful venture.Finally, one of the mice suggests they go get "Speedy Gonzales." Most of the others haven't heard of him but those who have all describe him as "the fastest mouse in Mexico." One guy says, "I can contact Speedy because he's a friend of my sister." A wise-guy mouse remarks, "He's a friend of EVERYBODY's sister!! (You can read into that, what you want!)Speedy then struts his stuff, and Sylvester tries to stop him. The racing rodent goes back and forth a number of times and the cat tries a different method to stop him each time. You can guess the result.A steady diet of Speedy yelling "arriba! arriba!" all the time might grow tedious, but seeing him once in awhile is a treat.

Brett Walter I love this cartoon!!! In it, Sylvester tries to stop Speedy from reaching the Acme cheese factory. He attempts to use bombs and dynamite, not to mention the usual mouse traps. I'm not going to say if it works or not. I'm sure that you can guess!
