'''''Adventures of the Road Runner''''' is a 1962 [[animated film]], directed by [[Chuck Jones]] and co-directed by [[Maurice Noble]] and [[Tom Ray]]. It was the intended pilot for a TV series starring [[Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner]]; however, the series was not picked up until four years later when [[Warner Bros. Television]] produced ''[[The Road Runner Show]]''. As a result, ''Adventures of the Road Runner'' was released theatrically alongside the live-action film ''[[Lad, A Dog (film)|Lad: A Dog]]'', and was subsequently split into three further shorts. The first, ''[[To Beep or Not to Beep]]'', was released in 1963; the other two, ''[[Road Runner a Go-Go]]'' and ''Zip Zip Hooray!'', were assembled by [[DePatie–Freleng Enterprises]] in 1965 after they took over the [[Looney Tunes]] and [[Merrie Melodies]] series.
