Why It's Indeed "Fast and Furry-ous"

1. This cartoon marks the debut of two of the most well known Looney Tunes characters, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.
2. Both Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner are very enjoyable and never fails to make us laugh.
3. Good animation for it’s time.
4. The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote's rivalry against each other make a great chemistry.
5. Several funny jokes and humor.
6. A lot of the spot gags with the ways of Wile E. Coyote trying to catch the Road Runner but keep backfiring on him are very hilarious, clever, and unpredictable.
7. Great fast-paced scenes and timing.
8. Well-orchestrated music by Carl Stalling.
9. Beautiful backgrounds and colors.
10. It spawned a whole series of shorts, most of which are also good, at least up until the Larriva Eleven.

The Only Bad Quality
