1999
Little Go Beep
Release date: 1999-12-17
Plot: The young Wile E. Coyote receives a strict education from his father, Cage E. Coyote. Determined to prove his worth, the young coyote throws himself into a series of attempts to catch the little Road Runner. Naturally, every plan ends in hilarious disaster, keeping alive the tradition of the ill-fated Acme inventions.
Name and role: The little Road Runner is already quick and slippery, zipping around with his trademark "Beep Beep!" while tottering on a baby walker. He effortlessly avoids the young coyote's traps, often without even realizing they were there to begin with. It's like baby parkour meets divine intervention.
Trivia and other appearances: If you're looking for other baby-fied versions of our Looney Tunes stars, there's Nasty Quacks (1945), where Daffy gets a baby duckling roommate; Portrait of the Artist as a Young Bunny (1980), which shows a mini Bugs and mini Elmer in a dream sequence; Taz Babies (1992), the fever dream we didn't know we needed; and a cute flashback sequence in The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024), which is all kinds of bonkers in the best way. And of course, there's the whole Baby Looney Tunes series... but let's be honest, we all kind of agreed to collectively pretend that never happened, didn't we?

Naturally, every plan ends in hilarious disaster, keeping alive the tradition of the ill-fated Acme inventions.
Name and role: Young Wile E. is already hell-bent on catching the Road Runner, following in his father's pawprints. Despite his tender age, he shows a surprising knack for crafting elaborate traps using gadgets from Acme Jr., including a jack-in-the-box and a water-powered rocket bike. (You know, just your average toddler death machines.)

Determined to prove his worth, the young coyote throws himself into a series of attempts to catch the little Road Runner. Naturally, every plan ends in hilarious disaster, keeping alive the tradition of the ill-fated Acme inventions.
Name and role: Cage E. Coyote makes a brief but memorable appearance at the start of the short. With a stern, commanding tone, he tasks his son with the mission of capturing a Road Runner, and forbids him from speaking until he succeeds. This adds a tongue-in-cheek origin story to Wile E.'s classic silence in the old cartoons. (Of course, that all gets blown to smithereens once you remember he does talk when he's hunting Bugs Bunny... but hey, continuity is a suggestion, not a rule, in cartoon logic.)
Trivia and other appearances: Here's where you can spot other legendary cartoon parents in action: In "A Mynah Problem" (1999), from The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries series, we meet Sylvester's dad. Over in Wakko's Wish (1999), we get a glimpse of the parents of the Warner siblings. The Whole "Taz-Mania" series show us Hugh an Jean, Taz's parents. In Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid (1942), we meet Beaky Buzzard's adorably overbearing mama. And way, way back in 1936, Porky the Rainmaker introduces us to Phineas Pig, one of the earliest examples of a parental figure in the Looney Tunes universe
