Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Another great Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote short from Chuck Jones. Once again, Coyote is trying his darnedest to catch the bird with no luck. Some hilarious gags, including grenades, mouse traps, hypnosis, and a wonderful telephone pole bit. Excellent animation in this one. Beautiful colors with well-drawn characters and backgrounds. I really love some of these early Road Runner shorts when the gags were so fresh and the animation so crisp. There were certainly some amazing ones later, too, but there's just something dynamic about some of the earlier ones. If you're a fan of the series, you'll no doubt love this one. It doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything but it does give you lots of laughs crammed into six minutes.

The story is somewhat unexceptional, and the pacing is a little uneven here, but there is much to enjoy. The Roadrunner is a good character, but I have always found Coyote the better of the two, he makes all these traps but he never gets that bird.The animation is very nicely done with good backgrounds and character features, the music is also good, not generic or annoying and the gags all work from the giant kite with the bomb, the magnet, various mousetraps and falling telephone poles. Predictable maybe, funny absolutely! Overall, for the Roadrunner and Coyote's fourth pairing, it works very well. It isn't a classic, but I enjoyed it, and I do think it is worth watching. 8/10 Bethany Cox

I like these opening graphics which give us various "scientific names" of the two main characters. This time, the roadrunner - who is shown outracing a fast train - is labeled "velocitus tremenjus." Wile E. Coyote, watching from above, is now labeled "Road Runnerus Digestus."Wile E.'s slapstick attempts at getting the bird include a hand grenade, mousetraps, a giant kite with a big bomb, falling telephone poles, bird seed with steel shot and a giant magnet, hypnotism, a giant boulder, shotguns and more! It's unbelievable how many attempts the coyote makes in each cartoon with the predictable results.This wasn't one of the funnier episodes, I didn't think, although it was entertaining as always.

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!
