Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere was a gap of nearly three years between this and the second Road Runner cartoon, Beep, Beep (1952). Chuck Jones only intended it to be a one-shot cartoon, but the reception given by the public made him change his mind. He was especially persuaded by a letter from a captain in the Naval Air Force, who claimed that pilots were imitating the Road Runner's "beep beep" call while doing maneuvers.
- GoofsWhen Wile is tossing the boomerang up and down his tail disappears for a few frames.

- Alternate versionsIn the ABC version, the scenes where Wile E. Coyote tries to explode the Roadrunner with dynamite and Wile E. being caught in the explosion were cut.

Featured review
Beep, beep!
You might think that 'Fast And Furry-ous (1949)' is all about family, but it's actually the first Looney Tunes cartoon to focus on Wile E. Coyote's never-ending pursuit of the Road Runner. The short is structured as a series of vignettes in which the predator tries to catch his prey, all of which inevitably backfire to varying degrees of hilarity. Though the somewhat repetitive plotting does dampen the piece's overall effect, there's no denying that some of its individual set-pieces are absolutely iconic (the painted-on tunnel is undeniably one of the all-time greats). Thanks to the success of most of its gags, this remains an entertaining and inventive affair from start to finish.
