A lot of fun.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

. . . Victory for Trumplestiltskin in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Finals when you view the Looney Tune GONZALES' TAMALES (which works for a title ONLY if you read "Tamales" as a Mexican synonym for females, along the lines of the Americanism "Tomatoes," though SAUSAGE PARTY just made it clear that "Tacos" were, are, and always will be the preferred receptors for Fellas' Burritos). Trumpenstein began his campaign with the premise that Mexican rapists are pouring through a porous U.S. bottom periphery, which must be plugged up with a pile of bricks. GONZALES' TAMALES presents Speedy as a serial sexual opportunist through the eyes of his peers, who conspire to sic the Trumpster Fire--in the guise of Sylvester "the Gringo" P*SSY CAT"--upon the gluttonous seducer. Speedy's jealous fellow mice entice Sylvester onto THEIR side of Fortress America (just as Real Life Mexican Leader Enrique Pena Nieto bamboozled Mr. T into doing last week!), where the Fat Cat's promptly shaved, shot, and blown up (not to mention undergoing a symbolic Penectomy as Speedy yanks off his tail!). Though few (except probably Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio) wish to see Trumples similarly unmanned, it's hard to forget what Delilah did to that Samsonite Guy.

This is not the best Speedy/Sylvester cartoon, but it is entertaining. It is standard and predictable and the production values are somewhat bland, plus Speedy is rather loud and repetitive here. However, what does make it entertaining are some good dialogue, some interesting sight gags, decent music and Mel Blanc's voices. Plus you feel sorry for Sylvester, the poor cat suffers horribly here, being forced to eat chilli peppers isn't that nice really and that's not even the worst of it. And I liked the title of the cartoon, it has real flair somewhat. And while I find the pacing off sometimes in Speedy cartoons, this one moves quite quickly. Overall, not great but watchable. 7/10 Bethany Cox

This short opens with two Mexican mice discussing their plans for the evening, one suggest that they should go out with pretty girls but the other points out that all the pretty girls are in love with Speedy Gonzales and that only chihuahuas are left. We then see various scenes where Speedy races in to steal the hearts of various mice's girl friends. Fed up with Speedy getting all the señoritas they hatch a plot to get rid of him by getting "the Gringo pussy cat" to run him out of town. What follows is what one would expect when Sylvester goes against Speedy... The poor cat ends up getting injured, blown up and tricked into eating chillies and drinking Tabasco.While it is fairly predictable it also provided a few laughs, mostly at the expense of Sylvester.

In case you've ever doubted just how in-your-face the Looney Tunes cartoons were, just check out "Gonzales' Tamales". In this one, Speedy Gonzales - who, as you may have noticed from other cartoons, is a total playboy - is seducing the female mice, and making the male mice very angry. So, they get Sylvester to go after him. Needless to say, Speedy knows just how to avoid getting caught.Anyway, the real "gotcha" moment comes towards the end. Speedy was singing "La cucaracha". Since I knew what the lyrics were, I listened to see if the people making the cartoon would use them. Sure enough, it ends with "marijuana que fumar" (meaning "marijuana to smoke")! To think that in the midst of the strict McCarthyism world of the 1950s, they sneaked in something about Mary Jane! Only the Termite Terrace crowd could do that! Overall, a really funny cartoon.
