CARTOON EVOLUTION #22 - SPEEDY GONZALES

I take a look at the history and evolution of Speedy Gonzales, the pint-sized hero of the Looney Tunes roster, not only the fastest mouse in all Mexico, but an icon and legend of Latin America. Introduced in the mid-1950s as the final star character, Speedy has gone on to lead a storied history, marred with political controversy but decorated by wilful triumph. While only starring in 45 classic shorts, Speedy has left a mark like few other Looney stars.

I discuss how Speedy has evolved over time, alongside other Looney characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Sylvester the Cat, and also spotlight how animators changed his look, appearance and personality over time. Here's my look at Speedy Gonzales through the years!
