must have been Daffy's relative

When the mice set up a mini-carnival for Cinco de Mayo, a loopy vulture (or crow; I'm sure not totally sure which he was) attacks, thereby prompting Speedy Gonzales to spring into action. And he does...with a vengeance! The great part is knowing what's going to happen, and watching it play out.

I noticed that the vulture/crow had a face very similar to Daffy Duck. Maybe this was a preview of the Speedy/Daffy cartoons in the mid to late '60s. Or maybe it's just a coincidence. Overall, "Tortilla Flaps" is a really fun cartoon. They must have had a lot of fun filming it.

I guess that lots of things can hurt people's pride.

PS: I know that "exito" was just supposed to be "exit" with O on the end, but that word actually is Spanish for "success".

Speedy vs. a slow-witted crow

The story here is fairly routine, but this Speedy cartoon is very watchable. The animation is a considerable improvement over most Speedy cartoons, and the music is a nice touch. Also helping are some sharp dialogue and funny sight gags as Speedy outwits a slow witted crow. Speedy is tolerable and funny, while the crow is a great foil, personally I think he is better a foil for Speedy than Daffy and Sylvester put together. As always, the vocal characterisations from Mel Blanc are absolutely stellar, I love Blanc and always have, he is so entertaining and pretty much immortalises the Looney Tunes cartoons on his own. Overall, if you ignore the routine story line, this is lots of fun for a Speedy cartoon. 8/10 Bethany Cox
