Did you people see the same film I saw?

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Again the cartoon does not take itself seriously. As you have to not take yourself seriously in order to watch a cartoon like both the Roadrunner and the Wile E Coyote.At first the Coyote tries to take matter into his own hands. As Coyote later learns that he can't just do it all by himself as the bird proves to be fast and clever from time and time again.So he of course revolts to the now famous and infamous depending on your own opinion, Acme company. Which is now and has been a trademark for the Coyote to fail.Always funny but sad in a way to see Wile E get knocked around and just beaten while trying to get the Roadrunner as his prey.

After the very funny and clever third episode of the "Road Runner" series ("Going! Going! Gosh!"), creator Chuck Jones and writer Michael Maltese seemed to backslide a bit on this fourth episode of the series. I always felt "Road Runner" worked best when Coyote was a victim of his own obsession, his own miscalculation, or his own horrible luck (helped along by Acme's guaranteed-to-backfire merchandise). Road Runner generally never laid a feather on him, other than occasionally bowling him over, but instead would trick him or startle him ("MEEPMEEP!") into his own calamities. That's why I often think of Road Runner as actually being female, cheerfully teasing her pursuer. But in this cartoon, Road Runner not only bowls coyote over, but repeatedly kicks him while he's down in the opening sequence, which seems a bit mean. And the artists also gave Coyote rather noticeable incisors, lessening his "cute" factor... and first and foremost, Wile E Coyote was always cute! Nevertheless, there are some funny moments, and those patented woebegone Wile E expressions (such as when he's gazing up at a huge steel ball that's about to flatten him, or at a hand grenade about to detonate in his teeth) are as priceless as ever. And the end gag is hilarious, as another of those rogue trucks sends him straight into his own booby trap. (Just why did he need that much dynamite for one little bird, anyway??) Overall, an enjoyable cartoon -- but a much better one was on the way!

More of Wile E. Coyote - aka Road-Runnerus Digestus - trying to get Road Runner - aka Velocitus Tremendus - and always ending up getting himself. Probably the best gag here is the hypnotism trick; it's almost hypnotic to watch (of course, in this sense it won't lead you to do what Wile E. ends up doing!).So, maybe "Zipping Along" doesn't really add anything new to the cinematic landscape, but it's always great to see what happens to WEC. It just goes to show that the more you try to harm others, the more you get harmed.And what was with that train at the beginning?

As fast as a locomotive, even faster...it's the Road Runner! Once again, he's out for a battle of speed & wits against Wile E. Coyote, who is willing to do ANYTHING to get that bird! With a fun cartoon like "Zipping Along," the audience gets another look at how the Coyote works hard to set up his various Road Runner traps, only to have them backfire every time.My favorite gags in this short include the following (but don't read any further until after you have watched it). The camera freeze-frames on the Coyote for the traditional display of his Latin name (in this case, "Road-Runnerus Digestus") while he is in the process of rapidly moving his head, so we get to see many heads at once! Before the Coyote even thinks about setting up any traps, he repeatedly gets run over by the Road Runner, each time with a passing "Meep meep!" In attempting to blow up the ultra-quick bird by means of a hand grenade, the Coyote accidentally tosses the safety pin while the grenade is still in his teeth, and his big-eyed reaction tells the rest. The Coyote sets up a bunch of mousetraps, but the Road Runner's brisk zooming causes all the traps to fly in the air and land on the Coyote, who, after a brief pause, lets out a hilarious yell. He then tries to fly in the air with one arm holding onto a kite and the other arm clutching an aerial bomb, but he immediately falls to the ground, and the bomb explodes."Zipping Along" is a very good cartoon in the Road Runner/Coyote series from director Chuck Jones. Don't miss it!
