Editorial Reviews

Since his 1949 cartoon debut, Wile E. Coyote has been successful at one thing: failure. The source of his constant frustration is that speed demon of the desert, the Road Runner.

Legendary animation director Chuck Jones put two of his greatest creations back on the road in their first animated theatrical short in 30 years in CHARIOTS OF FUR, debuting on video. BEEP, BEEP takes a dizzy fur-vs.-fowl spin through a mine shaft. OPERATION: RABBIT (mis)matches Wile E. with that smoothest of all operators, Bugs Bunny. Next, Wile E. falls HOOK, LINE AND STINKER for his own chain-reaction contraption. Sam Sheepdog thwarts furry-ous Ralph Wolf in READY, WOOLEN AND ABLE. But in ZIP 'N' SNORT, there's light at the end of the tunnel for Wile E. Or is there? All which proves an old Coyote can't learn new tricks, not as long as the Road Runner's around anyway!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good collection., March 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Road Runner & Wile E Coyote: Looney Tunes, Chariots of Fur [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a great collection of Looney Tunes made by The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. It includes the brand new cartoon, CHARIOTS OF FUR (1994) which suprisingly turned out to be a great cartoon, unlike CARROTBLANCA. This collection also includes 5 more cartoons. This includes OPERATION RABBIT (1951), one of five cartoons made with Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote. Interestingly, this was made before BEEP, BEEP (1952), the second Road Runner cartoon ever. It basically uses the Coyote from FAST AND FURRY-OUS (1949). READY, WOOLEN, AND ABLE (1960) is the best cartoon starring Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheep Dog. I guess this is on this tape because Ralph Wolf is a form of Wile E. BEEP BEEP & HOOK, LINE, AND STINKER (1958) are also great cartoons. ZIP 'N' SNORT (1961) is the second best Road Runner cartoon ever, next to TO BEEP OR NOT TO BEEP (1963) of course. The only complaint I have is that other than the brand new cartoon, the other five are on ROAD RUNNER VS. WILE E. COYOTE: THE CLASSIC CHASE. But if you want ... better quality, buy this!

This review is from: Road Runner & Wile E Coyote: Looney Tunes, Chariots of Fur [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Chuck Jones continues to entertain new audiences with the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. Chariots of fur is an blend of his final cartoon with the duo. I found it to be very exciting. If you have Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote The Classic Chase from Warner Bros. Golden Jubiliee 24 Karat collection, this video might not be for you. The other five cartoons actually appear on that video; Zip N' Snort, Operation: Rabbit, Hook, Line and Stinker, Beep Beep, and Ready, Woolen and Able. Otherwise this is an very nice cartoon video collection for kids of all ages.

We were pretty pleased with this product. There were a few parts of the video that were messed up and it was supposed to be new, but all in all it was ok.
