An absolute waste of money

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Most of the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons are great fun to watch, although the series generally ran out of gas in the 60s. Fast and Furry-ous is their debut and to this day is still one of their best and funniest cartoons.The animation is great, some of the best of the series in fact. The colours are beautiful and vibrant, the backgrounds are simple but still very detailed and attractive, the physical comedy is all tightly edited and the character designs, while more elaborate for Coyote here than with his later and more famous look, are very nicely done and smooth. Music is courtesy of the consistently brilliant Carl Stalling, it doesn't disappoint here and I prefer his livelier and more richly orchestrated scoring to that of Bill Lava's in the later cartoons.Fast and Furry-ous is also incredibly funny, one of the funniest of the entire Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons and this is all with no dialogue at all. The physical comedy is impressively animated and is never less than amusing, at its best hilarious, while the sight gags are equally terrific, the highlight being the refrigerator gag, one of the most original, elaborate and ingenious gags of any of the Roadrunner and Coyote series. The painting-the-tunnel-on-the-stone-wall gag works well too, even if it was repeated numerous other times throughout the series, and the razor sharp pacing helps. Who can't help love the Oliver Hardy-esque looks into the camera too? The story avoids being too repetitive or formulaic and the fresh material, as well as that it's their first cartoon, helps give a sense of originality.Both characters work great together. Roadrunner is one-dimensional, but amusing and never annoying, but it is Coyote who is the funnier and more interesting character. Cunning yet very easy to sympathise for and with priceless facial expressions, he's one of Chuck Jones' best creations. Overall, a wonderful cartoon in all regards, and one of the best of the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons. 10/10 Bethany Cox

One of the most brilliant cartoon series of all time, and definitely my favorite, began with this short. Wile E Coyote (not named yet in this cartoon) is the star of this series, and he represents every bad day we've ever had, every gadget that ever misfired on us at the worst possible moment and every impossible dream we've ever thought we could make come true if we only "tried something else". The Road Runner is almost a phantom, darting in and out of the picture at will, taunting us with that relentless smirk and the flick of the tongue. Being the first in the series, you can see Chuck Jones & Michael Maltese had the basic idea in place from the get-go, but would work to refine it over the years. The two characters -- especially Coyote -- aren't quite as cute as they would become, and some of the gags aren't quite as clever. Also, Road Runner is a bit more aggressive in this short, socking Coyote with "Another Genuine Boomerang" (shortly after Coyote had launches his own) and bashing him with a metal trash can lid. In later cartoons, I would become convinced Road Runner was really female, but in this short, the bird seems decidedly male. Yet many of the elements that made this such a brilliant series are present -- the crazy laws of cartoon physics that always favor the Road Runner and always punish the Coyote (the bird can go right into -- and back out of -- a tunnel painted on a rock wall, while Coyote can only smash face-first into it) and Coyote's first reliance on a crazy contraption designed to give him more speed (a refrigerator attached to a meat grinder strapped to his back to give him artificial snow so he can ski in the desert -- and right off the edge of a cliff.. of course the thing sputters to a halt only inches away from the safety of the other side). All in all, a great beginning.. but the best was still to come!

More than 50 years ago, I saw this in a movie theater. I recall when Wiley saw the Roadrunner take off at top speed, his jaw dropped. Later, I found out that this was the first time that happened at their very first meeting. That huge gap in Wiley's jaw represents the ultimate frustration that led to many more encounters. But after that gap, a laugh followed. Poor Wiley. Actually, no. Lucky us. Millions have laughed since and will in the future. This first toon in the series, is one of the best. I especially like the refrigerator scheme. You will too. ..Fast and Furry-ous is pure fun. It is highly recommended for all that like to laugh.

Some people love Bugs Bunny. Some people love Daffy Duck. Some Porky Pig and others Pepe LePew (I NEVER understood the love for the last one), I'm not saying those are not great characters, as they ARE (well accept Pepe), but give me a Wile E. Coyote/ Roadrunner short to watch and I'm on cloud 9. This very first ever amazing pairing of the two is nothing short of greatness. The gags are all rapid-fire and they all work. I was laughing throughout the whole short. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! This insanely great cartoon is on Disk 3 of the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1" It also has an optional commentary as well as a featuretteMy Grade: A+
