Road Runner - Chuck Jones


Chuck Jones is a famous animator that worked for Warner Brother for decades, he is well known for making short movies that incuded Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and other distinguished Warner Brothers characters. He was also the mind behind the well known Road Runner and the elaborate set of rules that Road Runner cartoons must follow.
These were the rules:

- The Road Runner cannot harm or upset the Coyote except by going 'MEEP! MEEP!'

No outside force can harm the Coyote, only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme Products.

-The Coyote could stop anytime - if he were not a fanatic.

No dialogue ever, except 'MEEP! MEEP!'

-The Road Runner must stay on the road - otherwise, logically, he would not be called the Road Runner.

All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters - The Southwest American desert.

All materials, tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from Acme Corporation.

Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy.

The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.
