Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Tweekums This is a great little cartoon featuring one of my childhood favourites; Speedy Gonzales, the fastest mouse in all of Mexico.The cartoon opens outside the Ajax cheese company warehouse, a group of Mexican mice are at the fence drawing lots to see which of them will run in and try to get some cheese without being caught by Sylvester the cat. Manuel draws the short straw and hand his sombrero to another mouse before rushing in. Judging by the reaction of the mice he doesn't survive and his sombrero is thrown onto a pile of hats. One on the mice says his sister is a friend of Speedy Gonzales to which another mouse retorts that everybody's sister knows speedy. The mouse goes off and returns with Speedy. Speedy has much better luck, nothing Sylvester does to stop him succeeds, not nets, not traps nor land mines... eventually he plans to lure Speedy in with a huge pile of cheese which he has packed with TNT, he detonates it too soon and the cheese rains down on the grateful mice.I enjoyed everything about this cartoon; Speedy and his friends' dodgy Mexican accents, the slightly racy joke about him being friends with everybody's sisters and Sylvester's increasingly desperate attempts to stop him... a must for all fans of Warner Brother's cartoons.

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.

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) Speedy Gonzales is another one of my favorite Looney Tunes characters along with Bugs Bunny, Pepe le Pew, Tweety and the lesser-known Hubie & Bertie. This award-winning short is one of my favorites out of Speedy's filmography. This short marks as Speedy's second screen appearance, being that his first appearance was in a 1953 Bob McKimson cartoon called "Cat-Tails for Two". But of course, he didn't look the way we know him now.I love seeing Sylvester on all fours when guarding the cheese factory, it kind of cracks me up. I also love the pseudo-Spanish conversation between Speedy and the mouse villager.

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!
