Fast and Furry-ous Description: Fast and Furry-ous is a 1948 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, released on September 16, 1949, directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese. It was later reissued as a Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodies cartoon in the beginning opening, with the original Looney Tunes ending sequence (this version can be seen on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1 and Looney Tunes Premire Collection DVD release of the short). As a result, the Looney Tunes theme (The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down) plays over the Merrie Melodies title card.
