The Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons are generally very enjoyable, and Coyote is one of Chuck Jones' best overall characters. Sure, some of the later cartoons are duds, where the series got tired and repetitive as well as somewhat cheap. There They Go-Go-Go! is towards the better half of the series, a touch formulaic in terms of how the samey premise is structured but there is very little problematic here.
With the animation, the backgrounds are more stylised and abstract than usual but not to an ugly or over-sparse extent, and the rest of the animation is simply but smoothly drawn and colourful, with the fourth wall use of camera and expressions as ever inspired. It may not be the best-looking Roadrunner/Coyote cartoon, but it is a long way from looking as cheap as some of the later cartoons of theirs. With Carl Stalling and the music, this viewer has always associated Stalling with writing consistently good to outstanding music scores for the Looney Tunes cartoons and they are nearly always one of the highlights. That is precisely the case with his scoring for There They Go-Go-Go! (particularly in the spiked balls gag, which was a great marriage of visuals, action, humour and music), the orchestration is lush and clever, it's lively and characterful rhythmically and it matches with everything seamlessly and even adds to the enjoyment.
It doesn't forget to entertain either, the loaded gun and ending gags (elevated by Coyote's hysterical and very truthful laugh out loud moment) are absolutely hilarious and it was nice to see much more of Coyote's own inventions. There They Go-Go-Go! is not completely formulaic either, sure it's the same premise as the rest of the series, but especially with the beginning and the inventions it does do things differently as well which stops it from getting repetitive and tired. It's nicely and efficiently paced too, and the conflict between Roadrunner and Coyote is done well. Roadrunner is one-dimensional but still memorable and amusing, but, ever the much funnier and more interesting character, Coyote steals the show. Not only is he a cunning and often funny to hilarious character but one that one does feel sorry for (very like Sylvester), and not in a way that feels forced (one of the easiest Looney Tunes characters to root for in fact).
All in all, great fun and tries to do different too. While not one of the absolute best of the Roadrunner/Coyote cartoons it's in the top half. 9/10 Bethany Cox
