Run, Run Sweet Roadrunner is a 1965 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Rudy Larriva.^[1] The short was released on August 21, 1965, and stars Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.^[2]

It was the first of the Road Runner cartoons subcontracted to Format Productions, and one of the only three which composer William Lava was able to properly score (the subsequent cartoons had to use a set of stock musical cues due to extremely low budgets).
