TheLittleSongbird This is not the best Speedy/Sylvester cartoon, but it is entertaining. It is standard and predictable and the production values are somewhat bland, plus Speedy is rather loud and repetitive here. However, what does make it entertaining are some good dialogue, some interesting sight gags, decent music and Mel Blanc's voices. Plus you feel sorry for Sylvester, the poor cat suffers horribly here, being forced to eat chilli peppers isn't that nice really and that's not even the worst of it. And I liked the title of the cartoon, it has real flair somewhat. And while I find the pacing off sometimes in Speedy cartoons, this one moves quite quickly. Overall, not great but watchable. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Tweekums This short opens with two Mexican mice discussing their plans for the evening, one suggest that they should go out with pretty girls but the other points out that all the pretty girls are in love with Speedy Gonzales and that only chihuahuas are left. We then see various scenes where Speedy races in to steal the hearts of various mice's girl friends. Fed up with Speedy getting all the señoritas they hatch a plot to get rid of him by getting "the Gringo pussy cat" to run him out of town. What follows is what one would expect when Sylvester goes against Speedy... The poor cat ends up getting injured, blown up and tricked into eating chillies and drinking Tabasco.While it is fairly predictable it also provided a few laughs, mostly at the expense of Sylvester.

ccthemovieman-1 Pedro and Manuel are frustrated that all the pretty girls go out with Speedy Gonzales. "All that are left are Chihuahuas," they say.Every time one of those poor guys is starting to get somewhere with a pretty females, the obnoxious Speedy races in and beats them to the punch. Finally, the mice organize because "we've got to do something about Speedy Gonzales, who is taking away all our girls."Jose comes up with the best idea: to hire a "gringo pussycat" to run Speedy out of town. Enter: good 'ole Sylvester! You know who lost this battle. The best gag was the gun in the cat's hand being dismantled piece by piece until only a bullet was left, floating in the air.I remember liking Speedy when I was a kid, but now he's just loud, too repetitive and just plain obnoxious. I'm sorry Sylvester didn't devour him.

Robert Reynolds I can't really discuss this cartoon without including at least some details, so consider yourself warned as to spoilers: The male mice in a small village have something of a problem-his name is Speedy Gonzales. Every little senorita mouse is far more interested in the dashing Speedy than they are in anyone else. In a brilliant display of vigor and young mouse-hood, they decide the solution to their problems is by arranging for someone else to do their dirty work-"El gringo pussycat", for instance. So they make it look like Speedy's insulted Sylvester and the chase is on. As you might expect, Sylvester gets the worst of Speedy and things don't end terribly well from his point of view.Pairing Sylvester and Speedy up in a cartoon is an obvious and effective teaming, when you think about it a bit. It does have the same obvious limitation the Sylvester versus Tweety shorts have-you know from the outset that no one will be lunch, even if one character does consider the other a part of their basic food groups. The reason these shorts work (when they do) is because of the gags involved and the background material. You hear a character singing a couple of lines of "La Cucaracha" (which are particularly funny if you understand Spanish), or you see the physical results of Sylvester trying to catch Speedy and it doesn't matter that Sylvester has a better chance of hitting the lottery than does of catching his prey du jour.This is available on Looney Tunes Golden Collection Vol. 3 and is most definitely worth getting. I recommend the Collection without reservation. Highly recommended.
