This cartoon is a clear example that when a television product is creative, ingenious, innovative and intelligent, it secures a privileged place as a classic even if it only has one season. Wacky Races only consists of 17 episodes, but they were great enough to become one of the favorite cartoons of several generations. The theme is simple but at the same time highly creative, a series of car races with the most extravagant cars and characters imaginable, from a mad scientist in a vehicle that he can turn into whatever he wants, a beautiful racer in a car full of cosmetic equipment, a gang of mobsters who look like the 7 dwarfs from Snow White, two cavemen in a rock car and of course a diabolical villain with his pet capable of setting the most sinister traps for his opponents in the best Coyote style and Roadrunner. One of the best creations of the production company Hanna-Barbera that resists the passage of time to this day and is still fun.
