W7: Chuck Jones pt2 Flashcards
Creator of Road Runner series
Chuck Jones
Chuck Jones’ rules for the Road Runner series
Always take place in the same desert setting.
The Road Runner and Coyote never speak.
The Road Runner never leaves the road, unless Wile E. Coyote paints a line off the road, such as into a fake painted tunnel.
The Coyote’s injuries are always self-inflicted.
No matter what misfortune the Coyote suffers, he always appears intact after the fade-out, ready to try again. (The Coyote is not physically hurt, but embarrassed, insulted and suffering from indignity.)
His mail-order machines and appliances are almost always from the Acme Corporation.
The Road Runner and the Coyote are always introduced by bogus Latin names.
The Coyote never catches the Road Runner.
