One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

While there were a few duds in the later years, when the Roadrunner/Wile E. Coyote series was at its best it was brilliant, even with the more-of-the-same stories they're mostly well-made, are very funny (the best gags uproariously so) and Coyote is one of Chuck Jones' best ever creations. Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z is one of my personal favourites in the series.Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z is not the best-looking Roadrunner/Coyote cartoon, the stylised minimalist backgrounds are not going to be everybody's cup of tea. They were not an issue with me because they still looked a long way from ugly and still had some nice detail, the series had much cheaper production values in the 60s. The colours are beautiful and rich, the gags and the reaction shots look great still and both characters look good, especially Coyote. The cartoon is wonderfully scored by Milt Franklyn as always. Orchestration is sumptuously lush, rhythmically it's lively but never too busy, use of instruments is clever and appropriate and it's not just a good fit but adds a good deal to what's going on too.There are some brilliant visual gags too, some of the best and funniest in the series in fact. The painted broken bridge and green bat suit gags are uproariously funny and are so different to what the viewer expects, but the highlight is the ending, one of the best endings of any Roadrunner/Coyote cartoon and a contender for the most iconic, not just because it's a hilarious and imaginatively executed gag but also because it is so refreshingly different. Roadrunner is one-dimensional but very amusing, but Coyote has always been the funnier and more interesting of the two and he's on top form here, one of those characters where even just a facial expression is enough to split the sides laughing and he is easy to empathise for even for one as cunning as he is.All in all, brilliant and one of the best of the series. Those fond of Roadrunner and Coyote will love it. 10/10 Bethany Cox

One of the best Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons. Lots of memorable gags, including ACME jet bike, "STOP! BRIDGE OUT!," and the famous bat-man suit. That last one is among the series' most iconic gags. Chuck Jones is firing on all cylinders, including an amusing bit that starts during the opening credits. The animation is crisp, the music lively, and the colors are beautiful. The Coyote & Road Runner cartoons were always simple and a bit repetitive but so much fun. Some of the best slapstick comedy ever put on screen, animated or otherwise. This is near the top of the series. Definitely a good one for new viewers to get their first taste of Coyote & Road Runner shorts. Sheer fun from start to finish.

"The Music Box" is the famous Laurel and Hardy film where the two struggle repeatedly to carry a piano up an endless flight of stairs up a hill. One really sympathizes with the two, until they reach the top, discover there's a road that leads up there, so they laboriously haul the piano back down the stairs to bring it up properly.In the same spirit, "Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z" has us sympathizing with the Coyote, but realizing he's going to fail even if his contraptions do work - it isn't just physics he's fighting, it's his limited thinking.First, the Bat-Man costume - as he plummets to certain doom, he pulls up at the last moment and starts soaring beautifully (and the roadrunner sure can't fly!) but he gets cocky, and never sees the bluff looming in front of him.Then there's the jet engine with handlebars - it should defy working at all, but work it does (I've always wanted one of those!). He's got the roadrunner matched at last (the chase, with Raymond Scott's 'Powerhouse' playing, is such a euphoric depiction of speed), but falls for the exact same situation from the beginning of the cartoon when the roadrunner pulls a U-turn. Small wonder the coyote looks so sheepish when plummeting yet again, at least given the dignity of ending the cartoon before impact.

In this, the eighth pairing of Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, the highly memorable gag of the batman type suit was first shown. And in a delightful change of the expected the crafty coyote paints a bridge, but this time it's a torn down bridge and the Road Runner goes through the painting, Wile E. is the one to go into it this time around. And as always ANY short with Wile E. in it is so VERY much worth watching, as he's one of my absolute favorite cartoon personalities of all time. This animated short can be seen on Disc 2 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2. This cartoon also has an optional music only track.My Grade: A-
