Before leaving Warner Bros. (over a moonlighting dispute over his involvement with the UPA feature Gay Purr-ee), Chuck Jones created a TV pilot for a Road Runner Show using new and reused animation. The show wasnt picked up, but the pilot was released theatrically in 1962 as a featurette called Adventures of the Road Runner. Much of the new animation from it was used in a standalone short called To Beep or Not to Beep (released 1963). Musical composer Milt Franklyn died not long after Adventures of the Road Runner was completed. His successor, Bill Lava, ended up scoring To Beep or Not To Beep. The unusual result was a famous scene with two different musical scores in two different films.
