Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Am I Missing Something?

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is a great little cartoon featuring one of my childhood favourites; Speedy Gonzales, the fastest mouse in all of Mexico.The cartoon opens outside the Ajax cheese company warehouse, a group of Mexican mice are at the fence drawing lots to see which of them will run in and try to get some cheese without being caught by Sylvester the cat. Manuel draws the short straw and hand his sombrero to another mouse before rushing in. Judging by the reaction of the mice he doesn't survive and his sombrero is thrown onto a pile of hats. One on the mice says his sister is a friend of Speedy Gonzales to which another mouse retorts that everybody's sister knows speedy. The mouse goes off and returns with Speedy. Speedy has much better luck, nothing Sylvester does to stop him succeeds, not nets, not traps nor land mines... eventually he plans to lure Speedy in with a huge pile of cheese which he has packed with TNT, he detonates it too soon and the cheese rains down on the grateful mice.I enjoyed everything about this cartoon; Speedy and his friends' dodgy Mexican accents, the slightly racy joke about him being friends with everybody's sisters and Sylvester's increasingly desperate attempts to stop him... a must for all fans of Warner Brother's cartoons.

Speedy Gonzales is another one of my favorite Looney Tunes characters along with Bugs Bunny, Pepe le Pew, Tweety and the lesser-known Hubie & Bertie. This award-winning short is one of my favorites out of Speedy's filmography. This short marks as Speedy's second screen appearance, being that his first appearance was in a 1953 Bob McKimson cartoon called "Cat-Tails for Two". But of course, he didn't look the way we know him now.I love seeing Sylvester on all fours when guarding the cheese factory, it kind of cracks me up. I also love the pseudo-Spanish conversation between Speedy and the mouse villager.

An apparent criticism of the Speedy Gonzales cartoons is that they stereotype Mexicans as sombrero-wearing wackos. I guess that this one - actually called "Speedy Gonzales" - basically does that, but it's still a really funny cartoon, as the Fastest Mouse in Mexico gets hired to snatch cheese out of a factory (presumably across the US-Mexico border) guarded by Sylvester.If in fact it's the US-Mexico border, then the cartoon raises the immigration debate. We see the people - or mice - in our southern neighbor needing to get into our country for better opportunities (as far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as an illegal immigrant). Then again, maybe I'm reading way too far into the cartoon; it was probably intended as nothing more than silly entertainment. If so, then it succeeds. Worth seeing.He's the friend of everybody's sister. Speedy certainly seems like he could be a playboy.

Man, I hope I'm in the majority here. But I gotta be honest, this mouse is so highly, extremely irritating. Does he ever shut up? Not only that but the whole character is kind of xenophobic and un-PC. Now I am certainly NOT one for being PC but I still find Speedy kinda offensive.In this cartoon he asked by his Mexican mouse pals to cross the border into America in bring them back cheese as they are all starving. Is there subtext here or am I reading too much into it?Sylvester is there to stop him. Or at least try. The usual Cat and Mouse hijinks follow. It's not really funny and I'm amazed it actually got an Academy Award.
