RR 706 trovate di coyote

If anyone have an imdb link or something for this, please inform me. Hate to have unoriginal titles in my register :-)

There were 39 shorts and one half hour program before the cartoon went on hiatus in 1966. I couldn't translate the title but take a look at this page with a list of the films and match up the credits with your copy of the film:

That's the one where the Coyote paints a tunnel on the cliff side and the Road Runner runs through the "tunnel" but then the Coyote smashes into the rock wall when he tries to follow him, and the Coyote falls off a cliff about a thousand feet high like 5 times, right?

(I mean, aren't they all?)

Piccollo release? How's the sound? I have two or three Road Runners from them and the sound is just awful!

Google Translator turns "trovate di coyote" into "Found Coyote". (Usually Warner Brothers was more clever than that with titles!)

Thanks, that will help a bit ... It said 1972 on the box, but that was obviously not the film itself, but the Super 8 release it seems.

I was kidding about that, actually!

Give us a run-down of the film's story. Perhaps someone will recognise the title.
The translation is useless.

The literal translation is "Coyote's Contrivances" which is totally generic as there are always a lot of these in every short.

How much it would have changed the story if he'd just ordered the Acme freezer, barbecue and a couple of dozen frozen chickens!

"Wile E. Coyote...Super Genius!"

I will try to make a clip of it during the weekend. Thanks for the suggestions ... It's a Techno Film release and the sound was okay

As you now say it's a Techno release I've checked my collection and it's ZIP N' SNORT, a 1961 film by Chuck Jones.

The Coyote chasing the Road Runner on the highway must first out-run a truck, and does so by running off a cliff and splattering down a mountain side.

My Techno box gives the correct title, as does the film, although the film also includes the title of TROVATE DI COYOTE.
