This is actually the exact video I was thinking of when I said that Roadrunner hasn't been done well. Sure, it's a scheming coyote and all, but he isn't being turned into a spring, materials aren't crumbling and distorting. It's simply because character model manipulations in 3D animation are very complicated to do, sometimes requiring a new model or rig, and the economics of the old surreal cartoons just aren't possible with a 3D studio, particularly when they can spit out something that is 'almost as good' for less money and time.
