Chuck Jones Rules

Chuck Jones was an .animated director that was the mastermind behind short movies like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and more. He was also the reason why the animated film Road Runner was created and for the cartoon there are a set of rules that have to be abided by.

The Rules:

1. The road runner cannot harm or upset the coyote except by .going 'MEEP! MEEP!'

2. No outside force can harm the Coyote, only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme Products

3. The Coyote could stop any time- if he were not a fanatic

4. No dialogue ever, except 'MEEP! MEEP!'

5. The Road Runner must stay on the road - otherwise, logically, he .will not be called the Road Runner

6. All action must be con.fined to the natural environment of the two characters - the South West American desert

7. All material, tools, weapons or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from Acme Corporation

8. Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy

9. The Coyote is always more humiliated than by his failure

Below is the first episode of this cartoon of which all rules are followed:
