However well received, the movie is hardly a blockbuster. In its anti-corporate, relative commercial purity Coyote vs. Acme serves as a corrective to a previous Warner Bros. product, namely the egregious Space Jam.

Director Dave Green... has done a fine job with cast and cartoon to create a film that's fast, clever and, in the end, surprisingly moving.

The animation has all the verve of the old cartoons but overall the production lacks the deadpan wit that makes Frazier’s short piece so funny.

It also just a wonderful parable about not giving up. We each endure our Sisyphean struggles because we know how good it will feel when we finally push that boulder over the hill. So, never stop trying. You can do it.
