The story is a little routine, and it is perhaps two minutes too short. But this is a very enjoyable cartoon, that I wasn't expecting to be as enjoyable as it was. When I thought of Looney Tunes in Mexico, I immediately thought of Speedy Gonzales, which in general meant cheap animation, uninspired material and bad music(with one or two exceptions). Wasn't I surprised? The animation is nicely done, it is not the very best looking, but it is nowhere near as cheap as I thought it would be, and the music with La Cucaracha had some Mexican flavour to it and didn't feel annoying. The pace is fast, the gags are plentiful(any scene with Daffy and the bull is worth a number of laughs) and the dialogue is actually funny. Plus Mel Blanc's voices are distinctive and lots of fun. Overall, very good not outstanding but a hell of a lot better than I thought it would be. 8/10 Bethany Cox
