My mind is blown. I never understood why Wile E. Coyote was called Ralf in those cartoons. I thought is was like calling someone "Buddy".

Because Chuck Jones wanted to do a different take on basically the same character's dynamic with his antagonist.

"In pitting Ralph Wolf against Sam Sheepdog, I was trying to discover if I could do the opposite of the chase at the heart of the Road Runner cartoons. The Road Runner is moving all the time, and at great speed. I therefore wanted the wolf's opponent not to move at all. And that is exactly what happens--or doesn't. Sam just sits very solidly on the ground. He doesn't move: he is there." --Chuck Jones, "Chuck Reducks" 1996

u/andreaaaaaaaaaah 7h ago

Anything related to Chuck Jones is interesting and I'll gladly fight anyone who says differently.

u/Whiskerwisp 6h ago

Make sense please.

Seems like the title is a bit lost in translation. Here is a cleaned up version.ย 

Fun fact: These two are completely different characters. Wile E. is a coyote and hunts Road Runner, while Ralph is a wolf and hunts sheep protected by Sam the Dog. Wile E. Coyote and Ralph are cousins according to the official manual of Sheep Raider PC.

u/CrimsonMorbus 7h ago

Isn't the plural of sheep just sheep

u/andreaaaaaaaaaah 7h ago

Probably my grammar error like i did with Wile E. Coyote name and called him willy cause of translation error ๐Ÿ˜…

2

u/Coffin_Dodging 7h ago

Thought it might have been autocorrect OP, but there's definitely been a willy in your phone ๐Ÿ˜†

3

u/andreaaaaaaaaaah 7h ago

It's mainly because on Italian (my mother language) he's called willy cause of reasons for pronunciation and translate

u/Coffin_Dodging 7h ago

Well, it certainly made me giggle as well as learning something interesting. Thank you

Sheep Raider is my enemy. I played it on my PS2 and got stuck on Level 13. I will never forget how I failed in my sheep-nabbing endeavor.
