Zoom and Bored is a 1957 Warner Bros. cartoon, being a part of the Merrie Melodies series and directed by Chuck Jones.[1] The short was released on September 14, 1957, and stars Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.[2] The title is a play on room and board, just like the Sylvester and Tweety short Room and Bird. This is one of the few shorts where the Road Runner shows a soft side for Wile E. Coyote and spares him.
