Run, Run, Sweet Road Runner

DoodleNovember 27, 2003

I tried to like some of the Rudy Larriva cartoons, but it is very hard when they only contain litreally 4 jokes in nearly 7 minutes of animation. Still, it looks okay for people who look like they've just learnt the basics in animation. Amateurish, slow and generally pointless.
