Coyote vs Roadrunner, less Roadrunner
This was new on the Bugs Bunny and Friends show on MeTV Toons (to me at least).
Overall, it is great to see a newer Roadrunner v Coyote cartoon. New ideas, for the most part. New sound effects, as well.
While some may not appreciate the opening segment, as it does not have either the Roadrunner or Coyote. But it does set up the Acme Book of Magic, flying broom, and wizard's familiar (black cat). Aside from getting hit with the book, the cat also has first contact with the Coyote. Sort of adding insult to injury.
Using the book of magic leads to some new gags, as does the flying broom. The floating rock, unfortunately, is one of the old ideas, and does not add anything.
This also leads to the other disappointment, hardly any Roadrunner. Yes, he does show up to eat the birdseed, but is gone a few seconds later. I don't think there was even a meep, meep.
The series of transformations at the end were great, even if the ending on the shark is a callback to many different older Warner Bros cartoons.
At least at the end, the Roadrunner gets to make a friend.
Btw, to those who must bring in politics, get your computer nomenclature right. Harddrives are not quoted in "flops", they are quoted in bytes. As in a 122TB SSD harddrive, although it currently sells for as much as a good used car.
