Mr. Road Runner

Mr. Road Runner is one of the tritagonists in Animation Acres.

Creation and original origins
The Road Runner was originally from the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies series of animated shorts.

He was created by Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese. In each cartoon, Wile E. Coyote utilizes absurdly complex gizmos (often from ACME, a mail-order company and recurring gimmick in Looney Tunes) and elaborate plans to try to catch his prey, rather than his natural guile, but fails every time.

The Road Runner speaks only with a signature "beep beep" (sometimes misheard as "meep-meep") noise and an occasional "popping-cork" tongue noise.

His vocal sounds were recorded by artist and designer, Paul Julian. He first did the "beep, beep" noise in the Warner Bros. parking lot as a polite means of telling people to get out of his way. Paul recorded several versions of this, and sound-engineer Treg Brown sped some of them up and looped them together. These recordings were ultimately used for the Wile E. Coyote & The Road Runner cartoons.

Animation Acres
He is portrayed as a teacher who works with Mr. Coyote at Sterling Holloway School. While Mr. Coyote's teaching is too hard for the children to understand or when it just goes into him boasting, Mr. Road Runner teaches the kids in an easier way, much to Mr. Coyote's annoyance. Mr. Coyote always plans traps for him to keep him out of the way, but they always end up backfiring.
