Oct 02, 2017  Even though “Speedy Gonzalez” is a totally American stereotype of a Mexican type of personality, it catches a few traits common to many of us; as a matter of fact, the players of our National Soccer football team are nicknamed “ratones” (mice).

Speedy Gonzales is a 1955Merrie MelodiesDownload onyx productionhouse x10 crack. animated short directed by Friz Freleng from a story by Warren Foster. It is the official debut of the title character. It won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.^[1][2] This cartoon is the first time Speedy Gonzales and Sylvester meet.

Plot[edit]

The short opens on a small, worried group of Mexican mice thinking of how to get cheese from the AJAX cheese factory across the Mexican–American border that is guarded by Sylvester the Cat. Sylvester has eaten any mice who have tried. The leader comes up with a brilliant idea: Gain the services of the aptly named 'Speedy Gonzales'. The group agrees, so the leader goes to the carnival where Speedy resides.

Speedy Gonzales is at the carnival attraction 'Shoot Speedy' in which people try to shoot Speedy with bullets from a gun in order to 'win a beeg prize.' The leader tells Speedy, in Spanish, about the dire situation the mice are in, not having access to the cheese guarded by Sylvester. Speedy agrees to help and runs through the field between the mice and Sylvester to fetch an armful of cheese with each turn. After failing to catch Speedy by hand, Sylvester employs a hand net, mousetraps, landmines, baseball equipment, and a pipe to funnel Speedy right into his mouth, but Speedy manages to thwart him every time.

Finally getting fed up, Sylvester gets all the cheese from the factory, stacks it, and uses dynamite to blow it all up. However, all the cheese ends up raining down on the mice, causing Sylvester to cry and bang his head on an electric pole in vexation. Speedy ends the short by saying: 'I like this pussycat fellow; he's silly!'

Speedy Gonzales is a recurring character of the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies franchises, starring in 46 short cartoons. He is a Mexican mouse endowed with Super Speed. Initially he got into escapades with Sylvester the Cat, later getting into less popular conflicts with Daffy Duck. He was the last of the 'classic' Looney Tunes characters to be created, not making his debut until 1955. He shares with Daffy the distinction of starring in the last theatrical Looney Tunes short to feature any of the classic characters, which was 1968's See You Later, Gladiator.

While his shorts are fairly popular, the series has come under fire for accusations of ethnic stereotyping—not Speedy himself, mind you, but rather his many acquaintances, who are portrayed as lazy, pejorative stereotypes of Mexican culture. As such, the shorts were not aired on American TV from 1985-2002, including the duration of The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show's run on ABC. Fortunately, thanks to Speedy's large Mexican fanbase (who perceive him as a good role model) petitions persuaded Warner Bros. to put the cartoons back on the air.

Speedy appeared occasionally in The Looney Tunes Show, taking up residence in the house of Bugs Bunny.

• 'Blind Idiot' Translation: In 'The Pied Piper Guadalupe' one of the mice carries a 'Loco El Gato' sign. This is a wrong translation of 'Crazy Cat', reading 'Crazy The Cat' (O rly?). It should have said 'El gato loco', or, even better '¡El gato está loco!' ('the cat is crazy!') or '¡Qué gato tan loco!' ('what a crazy cat!').
• Bumbling Sidekick: Oddly enough plays this role for Daffy in Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island.
• Catchphrases: '¡Ándale, ándale!' (Come on, come on!) and '¡Arriba, arriba!' ('Get up, get up!') usually shouted vigorously as he ran about. Also 'Yeehaw !' when he gives a Jump Scare in the back of his adversaries.
• Cats Are Mean: El Supremo in “Daffy’s Diner” is a justified example of the trope, being mean only because he was cheated on by Daffy.
• Chivalrous Pervert: Speedy Gonzales is a friend of everybody's sister Carmella! And in one cartoon he proves to be quite the romantic, serenading a female mouse with a guitar. (Until Sylvester interrupts his date.)
• Comically Invincible Hero: It plays a lot into the gags however.
• Comically Missing the Point: In one cartoon, Daffy calls a Roman Centurion a 'Fathead', but regrets it when the guy, who takes offense to it, comes to confront them. Daffy tries to save face by saying the insult was directed at Speedy, but Speedy gets them in even more trouble by being a little too honest about it..
• Crossover: 'The Wild Chase' has Speedy competing in a race against the Roadrunner with Sylvester and Wile E. trying to catch their respective foes.
• Dashing Hispanic: Both figuratively and literally.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Speedy's early design (in which Speedy wore a pink shirt, had no pants, had a gold front tooth, and looked stereotypically Mexican with his mop of greasy black hair and broken Spanish ^note ) looks nothing like his current self.
• Erudite Stoner: Speedy's cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez. He moves slow and talks slower, but he's 'fast upstairs in the cabeza'. Also, he carries a gun that's bigger than he is. It is implied that he is a stoner when he sings about marijuana to the tune of 'La Cucaracha.'
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: He's the fastest mouse of all Mexico for a reason.
• Fastest Thing Alive: It's right there in his title.
• Friendly Enemy: Has moments of this with Daffy. At the very least he at tries to play nice with the mean spirited duck most of the time.
• Funny Foreigner: A perfectly competent hero who speaks in Gratuitous Spanish
• Graceful Loser: While he didn't lose a whole lot, he tended to take it rather peacefully (in great contrast to Bugs who often couldn't take what he dished out). In 'Moby Duck' and 'Assault and Peppered', he is actually willing to back down to Daffy out of sheer pity (though Laser-Guided Karma makes sure it is a moral victory for Speedy).
• Gratuitous Spanish: ¡Por supuesto!
• Guile Hero: When his Super Speed fails, Speedy can often outsmart his foes as easily. Especially apparent in the De Patie Freleng era.
• Hat Damage: In 'Speedy Gonzales', Speedy is working as a living target in a shooting gallery when he gets a bullet through his hat.
• Hero Antagonist: Like a lot of other Looney Tunes protagonists, he flip flopped with this, a lot of shorts giving the main focus to the blundering of foes such as Sylvester or Daffy. Granted there were a fair few pairings against Daffy where it seemed you were reallymeant to root for him.
• Invincible Hero: The amount of times a villain actually defeated Speedy can be counted on one hand. The amount of times a villain so much as challenged him actually aren't much larger than that. Daffy could make Speedy sweat a little at times, but still usually proved out of his league.
• Karma Houdini:
  • Some of the Depatie-Freleng era Daffy/Speedy cartoons would have incidental characters that conned Daffy into chasing Speedy but got away with it at the end. Examples include Mayor Katt in Feather Finger and El Supremo in Daffy's Diner. The Loco Crow in Chili Corn Corny got away with screwing over both Daffy and Speedy. One should note in 'Daffy's Diner' that Daffy was trying to cheat El Supremo by advertising a mouse burger but placing a foam rubber mouse in the burger. El Supremo hated being cheated, and threatened Daffy as a result! Had Daffy not tried to cheat El Supremo, the whole thing might have been avoided.
  • While usually benevolent, Speedy is this in 'Gonzales Tomales', depicted as a home wrecker stealing the rest of the town's girlfriends. The vengeful mice sic Sylvester onto him by pretending Speedy challenged him for a fight. Since neither discover the other mice's plot, and Speedy blatantly outmatches Sylvester, only the cat gets punished.
• Karmic Trickster: He often wins through his Super Speed, though when that fails he can outsmart his opponents pretty swiftly as well. Especially apparent in the Daffy shorts.
• Knight of Cerebus: Astonishingly enough, Daffy is actually this to the rest of Speedy Gonzales' Rogues Gallery. While still highly bumbling in tone, the situations Speedy was placed in were sometimes a lot more dire against Daffy, who stands as the only villain competent (and malicious) enough to hold ground against the mouse, even beating him a couple of times.
• Nice Guy: Especially during the De Patie Freleng era shorts.
• Nice Hat: Other than his first appearance (which was sort of a prototype of the character) he always wears a sombrero.

• Nice Mice: A mouse who pretty much only steals cheese to help his compadres.
• Not So Invincible After All: The De Patie Freleng shorts made Speedy slightly more fallible, even losing a couple of times. In 'Muchos Locos' and (to some extent) 'Chilli Con Corny' Daffy gets the last laugh.
• Out of Focus: In modern adaptations, he gets this more than all the other major Looney Tunes characters. If not outright Adapted Out (see above), he's Demoted to Extra, like in Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back in Action where he only makes cameo appearances (and he has no lines in the former). This is averted in The Looney Tunes Show where he's a recurring character but played straight again in Wabbit: A Looney Tunes Production. Guess who is the only character who is not in the opening?
• Ping-Pong Naïveté: Similar to Tweety, while often more a cunning Karmic Trickster Obfuscating Stupidity, there are times when Speedy genuinely comes off as incredibly naive. In cases like 'The Music Mice-trio' he has sincere problems realizing that Daffy actually hates Speedy's guts .. or why Daffy might do so.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: His cousin, Lento ('Slowpoke') Rodriguez, the slowest mouse in Mexico.. who packs a gun, and can hypnotize cats, even Sylvester. Also, Cousin Ramone (the biggest rat in Tijuana) in Daffy Rents.
• Political Correctness Gone Mad: Made even funnier by the fact that real Mexicans loved it (the cartoons had a Mexican making his Gringo foes look like idiots, after all.)
• Spexico: Another reason Mexicans didn't mind it much was because it was an obvious intentional exaggeration of Mexican stereotypes, which even they love to use. For example, the mice weren't lazy, they just like taking Siestas (naps).
• Super Speed: The Fastest Mouse in all Mexico!
• A Taste of Defeat: On very rare occasions Speedy actually lost a short (eg. Mucho Locos and Chilli Con Corny). In a few others he defeated the villain, but got his victory soured in some manner (eg. He thwarts the bandit in Pancho's Hideaway, but the latter still gets a small last laugh).
• Token Minority: One of the few Mexican characters in the Looney Tunes cast.
• Took A Level In Jerk Ass: Daffy Duck, in his encounters with Speedy.
• Villainous Underdog: Speedy's Super Speed more or less made him completely invincible, leading all his foes without a hope of capturing him. The Daffy shorts seemed to weaken Speedy slightly so Daffy was marginally threatening, but being a Looney Tunes series, it's still blatantly there at times.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Daffy. In some of their latest cartoons (like 'Fiesta Fiasco' and 'Skyscraper Caper') they appear to be somewhat friends.
• When All You Have Is a Hammer..: In the original shorts, Speedy's general solution against all the villains that opposed him was..running fast. And it worked. On more than one occasion Sylvester successfully ate Speedy, but it did nothing to slow him down since Speedy could run with enough force to just burst through the other end. The De Patie Freleng era shorts toyed more with antagonists being able to overpower Speedy, forcing him to utilise Karmic Trickster tactics against them.
• With Friends Like These..: With Daffy.
