Lobby Card
Tabasco Road is a 1957 Looney Tunes short directed by Robert McKimson.
Plot
Speedy Gonzales must save his friends, Pablo and Fernando, from a large (and hungry!) alley cat. The trouble is, they are inebriated, and would much rather pick a fight with the cat (and for that matter, any other cat they can find). Can Speedy save them?

Notes
- Although it is a Merrie Melodies Cartoon, only the Looney Tunes Intro/Outro Theme was played. It was because the cartoon is an early or mid 60s Blue Ribbon reissue which the original Looney Tunes opening and closing Color Rings were replaced by the Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies reissue title cards.
- It is the last Speedy Gonzales cartoon to be reissued, however it was reissued in Feb 1964, replacing the large orange Looney Tunes titles and rings with "A Vitaphone Release".
- It was an Academy Award nominee for best short subject but it lost to "Birds Anonymous". Both shorts were reissued as Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies cartoons.
