Adventures of the Road Runner is an unaired 1962 animated film, directed by Chuck Jones and co-directed by Maurice Noble and Tom Ray.[1][2] It was the intended pilot for a TV series starring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner; however, the series was not picked up.[3]

As a result, Adventures of the Road Runner was released theatrically alongside the live-action film Lad: A Dog, and was subsequently split into three further shorts. The first, To Beep or Not to Beep, was released in 1963; the other two, Road Runner a Go-Go and Zip Zip Hooray!, were assembled by DePatie–Freleng Enterprises in 1965 after they took over the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series.

In 1966, four years after the pilot, Warner Bros. Television produced The Road Runner Show for CBS.
