ASK NWM: DID WILE E. COYOTE EVER CATCH THE ROAD RUNNER?


Indeed. And if you care, the historic moment occurred in the 1980 Bugs Bunny’s Busting Out All Over TV special. It was directed by Chuck Jones, which meant it counts. The episode is officially part of the Bugs & Daffy universe. Not some post-2000s, revamped, CG knockoff. 

THE SCENE:

Started like all of the other chases. Coyote in hot pursuit of RR. The shtick in this skit was Wile and Road Runner speed through a series of pipes that shrinks them down to mouse size. Once they figure out what’s wrong they go back through the pipes. Only this time Road Runner increases in size, while Coyote doesn’t. Still at the end Wile E. Coyote finally catches the Road Runner and well, you can watch the rest. Not going to give it away, but personally it left me unfulfilled. I felt Chuck wasn’t fully committed to the outcome. Judge for yourself.
