The best of the Coyote and the Road Runner CGI shorts

Like I said before, I think these Looney Tunes CGI shorts did a pretty decent job adapting the classic characters into a new updated format.

Sure, at first glance it might be a little weird to see characters like Daffy or Sylvester with realistic textures, but in general terms, the essence of the characters were captures pretty well.

In the case of Daffy's Rhapsody or I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat, both shorts were helped by being based on Mel Blanc's songs recordings from the 50s. By contrast, the 4 Coyote and Road Runner shorts made by Matthew O'Callaghan are brand new material, but the execution is still serviceable enough.

My opinion on them is more and less the same: Effective, though not as hilarious as their classic counterparts. Still, its brevity allows them to work well without overstaying their welcome.

My personal favorite of the bunch was "Flash in the Pain", the very last of these CGI shorts, done in the year 2014, whose end made me laugh a lot, due the unexpected crossover with I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat.

Definitely worth-watching, and I wish more of these animations had been produced.

At least I hope Coyote vs Acme is finally released this year.

That's right, I don't care if it's stretched out all in one gag, it's funny. Highlights include: 1. The Coyote getting cooked by a club and landing on the ground only to teleport back up three times at Granny's 2. The Coyote getting his crotch hit by a branch, which ends up getting a Boulder rolling 3. A gag after the credits where the poor Coyote teleports on train tracks and gets hit by a train

Best of CGI 4/4.
