Wild About Hurry is a 1959 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. [1] The short was released on October 10, 1959, and stars Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. [2] The title is a pun on the then-popular song, "I'm Just Wild About Harry".
Wile E. Coyote (Hardheadipius Oedepius) is shown brandishing scissors on top of a high-rise tree branch, ready to cut a rope and drop a rock onto the passing Road Runner (Batoutanhelius). The rock displays the title, and when it falls to the ground and barely misses, the credits are shown in the dust and scrambled by the exhaust of a rocket.
