The Rules

The Rules 

These are rules that Chuk Jones used while he was working at Warner Bros. Studio. He creeated a  series  of short movies tat starred Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck etc.

He also created the road runner and with tis a set of rules emerged.

These are :

1. Road runner cannot upset or harm the coyote except by saying 'meep meep'

2. No outside force can be used to harm the coyote. Only his own ineptitude or failure of 'acme' products.

3. The coyote can stop at anytime - if he weren't a fanatic

4. No dialogue can be used except for 'meep meep'

5. The road runner must stay on the road; otherwise theres no point if it being called the road runner.

6. All actions that take place must be confined to the natural surrounding of the 2 characters - Southwest American Dessert 

7. all weapins, tools or mechanical conveniences must be from the 'Acme' corporation. 

8. Where-ever possible gravity should be the coyotes biggest enemy. 

9. The coyote should always be more humiliated than harmed in all its failures. 

Heres a clip that demonstrates these rules.
