Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Edgar Allan Pooh " . . . hit (the canyon floor in my Death Plunge)?" Wile E. Coyote plaintively pleads with his presumed creators as the Warner Bros. animated short GEE WHIZ-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z wraps up. The main purpose of GEE is to illustrate the primary aspects of The Future's Quantum Physics and String Theory for the General Public of the 1950s. For instance, earlier in this cartoon Wile E. Coyote paints a mural of a fallen bridge over an imaginary canyon where neither exists, in an attempt to give the Roadrunner pause. Naturally, the mythical bird races right through this mirage, which doesn't even exist in the Mweep-Mweeper's Dimension. However, when Wile E. attempts to resume the Chase, he plunges into the canyon, since his own mind created it within HIS Dimension. Einstein could not have explicated String Theory any better. Just before Wile E.'s final travails in WHOA, he's chasing the Uncatchable Prey created by his own over-active Imagination while zooming along on an Acme Co. Wind Rider Jet, which Wile inadvertently shuts down to leave himself--and his ride--suspended over a chasm. This inert hunk of metal hangs motionless, defying the Law of Gravity, until the Roadrunner Mirage waves "Bye, bye" to Wile E., whose immediate plunge downward captures Quantum Physics in a nutshell.

TheLittleSongbird 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

MartinHafer I don't have any idea why, but this cartoon can be found on archive.org for free download and is listed as a 'banned cartoon'. However, after viewing it, I saw absolutely nothing potentially offensive about it and think this is a mistake. It's yet another brilliant Roadrunner cartoon from Chuck Jones--and the quality is as good you can get. While it would be pointless to comment on the plot at any length (you just need to see it), the Coyote once again tries many different Acme products in order to catch that darned bird--and, as usual, to no effect other than beating the tar out of poor Wiley Coyote! You'll see him don a bat-man outfit, ride a jet engine as well as paint a scene with the bridge being out (with predictable but very enjoyable results). The bottom line is that this film shows the characters once they've hit their stride--clever and funny all the way. I especially enjoyed the cute ending. Well worth seeing and you have to be dead no to enjoy this one.

DaniGirl1969 Another very funny and highly creative entry in the Road Runner series, in which even the opening credits are a hazard to Coyote. They're carried on the side of a truck which mows him down in the opening scene! And Wile E's day doesn't get any better, as he's blown up by an exhausted bullet, flattened by a flying boulder and falls into a chasm that was part of a picture he himself painted! Of course, there are the usual malfunctioning gadgets that the poor canine arms himself with, such as a telescoping arm that's supposed to deliver dynamite to Road Runner but instead slams the coyote into a rock wall, and delivers the explosive to him instead.. and the detonator plunger that refuses to go down while Road Runner is crossing the booby-trapped bridge -- but naturally it slides down all by itself once you-know-who tries to cross in pursuit. But "Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z" is best known for the Acme product that finally DOES work exactly as advertised: the Acme Bat-man Outfit!! After a few frantic moments, Coyote actually manages to soar majestically through the air! But Acme can't be held responsible for operator error! Likewise the Acme Jet Motor also works perfectly, until the silly coyote turns it off after he soars off the edge of another cliff. Of course, the Laws of Cartoon Physics say he won't fall as long as no one draws his attention to the fact that he's now floating high above a deep deep canyon (now who do you suppose would do that? hehehe) A wonderful cartoon -- with the cartoonist finally cutting him a break at the very end!
