War and Pieces marked the last time Chuck Jones was involved with The Road Runner for a while
This Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner cartoon short was the last helmed by Chuck Jones when he was at the Warner Bros. studio before its closing and also before he was fired for doing something at UPA without permission. He'd return several years later but not before then going to M-G-M for a last round of Tom and Jerry shorts. Anyway, as usual, the coyote and road runner have their scrapes courtesy of various spot gags that come into hilarious results. So that's a recommendation of War and Pieces. One more note, this marked the only time on a Jones series entry the score was composed by Bill Lava, previous composer Milt Franklyn having passed on after the last Road Runner cartoon.
