Line 2:
Animated plots frequently involve natural enemies chasing or hunting each other.
 
Named for the [[Animated Series]] ''[[Dastardly and Muttley Inin Their Flying Machines]]''. In that case, it's enemy pilots and an [[Instant Messenger Pigeon]].
 
Can be [[Road Runner vs. Coyote]] if we see them comically failing repeatedly to catch it.
Line 17:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'': The cat, Tom, is always chasing or otherwise trying to thwart the mouse, Jerry. [[Road Runner vs. Coyote|It rarely ends well for Tom]].
* ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and ''Merrie Melodies'':
** Sylvester and Tweety. The former, a cat, really wants to eat the latter, a canary, but [[Road Runner vs. Coyote|never succeeds]].
** [[Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner (Animation)|Wile E Coyote and The Road Runner]]. Wile E. Coyote tries repeatedly and [[Road Runner vs. Coyote|fails repeatedly]] to catch the Road Runner so he can feast on him.
** [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Affable doofus]] hunter Elmer Fudd and [[Bugs Bunny/Characters|Bugs Bunny]] and/or Daffy Duck.
* As mentioned in the description, the [[Trope Namer]] is ''[[Dastardly and Muttley Inin Their Flying Machines]]''.
