Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z
Directed by Chuck Jones
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Cartoons
A gleefully absurd slapstick cartoon built entirely on escalating physical gags and the eternal, consequence-free pursuit of an impossible goal.
Wile E. Coyote unsuccessfully chases the Road Runner using such contrivances as a rifle, a steel plate, a dynamite stick on an extending metal pulley, a painting of a collapsed bridge (which the Coyote falls into while Road Runner passes right through), and a jet motor.
