WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Coyote Falls" is an American 3-minute cartoon from 2010 made by Matthew O'Callaghan and Tom Sheppard and both of them are fairly experienced in animation filmmaking, so maybe I should not be surprised that this very brief movie turned out nicely. No filler material, just one joke following the next as Coyote still has it for Road Runner. I must even say that I am not the very biggest fan of the old cartoons starring these two as gadget based animation is not exactly my favorite kind of comedy, but this new one here worked out pretty well. The scenes with the truck were about as funny as the bungee rope not being long enough and the ending is a nice tribute to the old days. It may not ooze greatness, but I thought this was quite a funny watch and the whimpering sound by Coyote near the end was almost heartbreaking. I always liked him more than Road Runner. No surprise at all this one got nominated for two prestigious awards (Annies, Visual Effects Society). It deserves the attention. Go see it and hopefully you will like it as much as I did.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . at least could be counted upon to last six minutes, be constructed by fewer than ten credited people, and feature Mel Blanc's two cents worth. COYOTE FALLS is copyrighted 2010. It's shorter than three minutes, but has three slides listing hundreds of mostly indecipherable (even on freeze-frame and zoom) names with corresponding job titles, and there's not a peep out of Mr. Blanc. (It's as if the animators of a Golden Age Looney Tunes decided to tack on a credits list of every person EACH ONE OF THEM had met in their lives, on the theory that if any of that horde had rubbed out an animator, the cartoon may have gone unfinished.) COYOTE FALLS begins with a slide listing the number "345180." Is this supposed to be its "Vitaphone Listing?" If so, who has the time to watch hundreds of thousands of shorts, even IF half of them are as brief as COYOTE FALLS?! There's little to note of the substance of these 179 seconds. It's said that some films, such as light bulb inventor Thomas Alva Edison's ELECTROCUTING AN ELEPHANT (1904, available at the U.S. Library of Congress web site) are "short but sweet." COYOTE FALLS can be best described as "short but sour."

storminorman25 It was nice to see this short. And it is short. Less than three minutes as opposed to the normal seven that shorts were from about 1929 onward. Fine direction and animation for the most part. However, there is a fatal flaw. With the Road Runner in the past there was always a gray line concerning his participation in the Coyoyte's mishaps. Unfortunately during this short the Roadrunner directs sticking out his tongue at the Coyote, which he never did in the past. This is a conscious misstep by the director and a shame. Innocence is lost in the Roadrunner's character when he becomes a willing participant. Poor choice in an otherwise delightful short.

MartinHafer It is nice to see the Coyote and Roadrunner return to the screen with this 3-D CGI film. However, there are two serious problems with this worthwhile project. First, it was shown before a horrible full-length film which few would endure in order to see "Coyote Falls"! Currently, "Cats & Dogs 2" is in the IMDb's Bottom 100 list--hardly an auspicious place to display this film! Second, at only about three minutes, it's just too short--especially as the average non-CGI version of the duo was usually about 7-8 minutes. Still, it's a nice START and I sure hope to see more in the future--more Looney Tunes shorts and hopefully a lot longer than 3 minutes! What I did see, however, was very good--much like the 1950s-60s version updated with state of the art modern animation.
