Fast and Furry-ous is a 1948 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, released on September 16, 1949, directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese. It was later reissued as a Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies cartoon in the beginning opening, with the original Looney Tunes ending sequence.
This was the first cartoon to feature Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. It set the template for the series, in which Wile E. Coyote (here given the ersatz Latin name Carnivorous Vulgaris) tries to catch Roadrunner (Accelleratti Incredibus) through many traps, plans and products, although in this first cartoon not all of the products are yet made by the Acme Corporation.
The title is a play on the old expression "fast and furious".
Running gags
A major running gag throughout the cartoon series is the fact that Wile E. Coyote (an ironic pun on "Wily") is continually defeated by his own gadgets, often obtained through a fictitious mail-order company called "ACME". A commentator in the Looney Tunes Golden Collection pointed out that what keeps Wile E. going is his perception that the gadgets typically almost work.
Plot
When Wile E.Coyote first tries to stab Road Runner with a knife,he realizes he's not fast enough to outrun Road Runner. After 11 ideas that failed, Road Runner is seen as a passenger in the rear window of a bus that crushes Wile E., who, expecting the Road Runner, was ready with an axe.
Censorship
- When this cartoon aired on ABC, the part where Wile E. Coyote uses dynamite and a detonator to get the Roadrunner and gets blown up by the detonator (as pictured on this page) was cut.
Music
This short uses music from the Bedřich Smetana opera The Bartered Bride.
