Chariots of Fur is a seven-minute Looney Tunes short released in 1994 by Warner Bros. It features Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner and was directed by Chuck Jones.
Plot
In a series of schemes, Wile E. fails to capture the elusive Road Runner, facing comedic mishaps at every turn. He tries an ACME Giant Mouse Trap, a spring-loaded rock, and even an ACME Instant Road, all resulting in his own misfortune. In a desperate attempt, he dons an ACME Trick-or-Treat Cactus Costume, leading to further chaos. Later, Wile E. tries to use a see-saw to reach the Road Runner, but ends up injuring himself instead. The final attempt involves ACME Lightning Bolts, but Wile E. ends up being zapped repeatedly, ultimately fleeing from the relentless bolts into the sunset.
Production notes
The film's soundtrack features music from Bedřich Smetana's opera, The Bartered Bride, and it premiered in North American theaters alongside Richie Rich. This marked the first theatrical release of a new Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner short since 1966. Titled in parody of Chariots of Fire (1981), this was also the last Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner short directed by Chuck Jones, marking their final appearances in three-strip Technicolor.
