The Road Runner cartoons directed by Rudy Larriva in 1965-1966 used this, but not the Chuck Jones ones

[HHog]

If I recall right, most Road Runner cartoons usually had this type of intro.

@2005dave All three you mention also included the Big Ben outro, if I'm not mistaken.

Yew my mistake sorry.

[2005dave]

The only three original studio cartoons this was used on: "Now Hear This", "Bartholomew Vs. The Wheel" and "Senorella and the Glass Huarache". Note the WHITE background on the series title and the cymbal crash after the opening sound effect - those did NOT carry over to the DePatie-Freleng and Format Films productions that later used this title sequence.

[JES271991]

Yes

@JES271991

Speed Runner? Don't you mean Road Runner?

[JES271991]

I think they used on Speed Runner and Coyete cartoons.

What's also interesting to note is that this, along with a small number of other WB 'toons of that year, had the Big Ben outro, with a small bike horn squeaking as the "OO" in "cartOOn" jumped out at you a few times.

Kind of a strange way to sign off, huh?

This version was first used in the Chuck Jones short "Now Hear This".
