Sylvester thinks his curiosity won't get the most out of him, but eventually he tells Malcolm to pick up what's under the hat - a stick of dynamite.

As Malcolm and Sylvester runs back to town to glue back their tail, some salt inadvertently pours onto Speedy's tail and falls off as well, causing Speedy to run after the two for spare glue.

Road To Andalay

Road to Andalay is a 1964 Merrie Melodies short directed by Friz Freleng and Hawley Pratt.

Title

The title is a reference to the Bob Hope and Bing Crosby's Road movies such as Road to Hong Kong and Road to Bali, along with Speedy's signature phrase.

Plot

Speedy Gonzales wakes up and tries to find a cat to wake up. Sylvester chases after Speedy until he reaches the edge of a cliff. Speedy hides behind Sylvester and yells "Yeehaw!" at him, causing Sylvester to jump and fall down the chasm. Starting to lose confidence, Sylvester orders a falcon named Malcolm Falcon from the pet store to hunt after the mouse. Sylvester takes a peek at the falcon, but the falcon attacks him. Malcolm runs after Speedy, but drags Sylvester with him until Speedy hides in a small hole and Sylvester slams into a wall.

Sylvester tells Malcolm to let go only when he does, although when he attempts to tell him to let go, Malcolm is flying vertically and Sylvester falls down again. Malcolm attacks again, this time separate from Sylvester, but ends up flying to an airplane jet and attacks Sylvester on the head. Speedy decides to hide something under his hat and takes a siesta. Sylvester thinks his curiosity won't get the most out of him, but eventually he tells Malcolm to pick up what's under the hat - a stick of dynamite. Malcolm pecks Sylvester again for being asked to bring the dynamite stick.

Malcolm tries to chase Speedy until Speedy corners Malcolm again. Speedy sprinkles a little salt on Malcolm's tail, and states that the bird is unable to fly anymore. However, Sylvester thinks it's a silly superstition and places some salt on his tail. Speedy then asks to wiggles their tails, causing them to fall off. As Malcolm and Sylvester runs back to town to glue back their tail, some salt inadvertently pours onto Speedy's tail and falls off as well, causing Speedy to run after the two for spare glue.

Censorship

Some syndicated versions (and versions shown on CBS' Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show) cut the part where Malcolm Falcon rips Sylvester's scalp off his head.

Notes

  • This is the only short where both Speedy Gonzales and Sylvester lose in the end.
  • This is the first and only short with the layouts by Homer Jonas (credited him as the assistant layout artist)
  • The official WB Kids channel included four minutes of this short in their "Best of Speedy Gonzales" Compilation.[1]
  • The scenes of Sylvester falling in this short are reused animation taken from "The Jet Cage" (1962). This exact same scene is used twice in this short.
  • Unlike other cartoons, Sylvester is drawn with his neck colored all black instead of white.
