coyote

• yaratıcı chuck jones'un çizgi filmi yaratırken kullandığını söylediği kurallar ise şöyledir:
  • rule 1. the road runner cannot harm the coyote except by going "beep-beep!"
  • rule 2. no outside force can harm the coyote - only his own ineptitude or the failure of the acme products.
  • rule 3. the coyote could stop anytime - if he were not a fanatic. (repeat: "a fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim." - george santayana)
  • rule 4. no dialogue ever, except "meep-meep!"
  • rule 5. the road runner must stay on the road - otherwise, logically, he would not be called road runner.
  • rule 6. all action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters - the southwest american desert.
  • rule 7. all materials, tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the acme corporation.
  • rule 8. whenever possible, make gravity the coyote's greatest enemy.
  • rule 9. the coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.
  • (rule 10.) the audience's sympathy must remain with the coyote.
