1949 short that marked the first appearance of 91- and 110-Across

Answer:

FASTANDFURRYOUS

Hint:

This animated short features a speedy coyote and a clever roadrunner in their first on-screen chase through the desert. It was directed by Chuck Jones for Warner Bros.

Explanation:

This clue refers to the 1949 Merrie Melodies cartoon "Fast and Furry-ous," which introduced Wile E. Coyote (91-Across) and the Road Runner (110-Across) in their first on-screen chase. The title plays on the phrase "fast and furious," swapping "furry" for a pun about the Road Runner’s feathers and the Coyote’s fur. It’s a classic Looney Tunes short, so the answer combines the title into one word without spaces.
