[[caption-width-right:350:The chase is on!]]
Animated plots frequently involve natural enemies chasing or hunting each other.
Named for the AnimatedSeries ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines''. In that case, it's enemy pilots and an InstantMessengerPigeon.
Can be RoadRunnerVsCoyote if we see them comically failing repeatedly to catch it.

!!Examples:
[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* One story in the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' comic ''ComicBook/DeffSkwadron'' involves the Orks repeatedly failing to intercept a messenger squig. They breed a special hunting squig to take it down, but find that it won't come back once the messenger is caught. The story ends with the skwadron's boss repeating "Catch that squig!"
[[AC:EasternAnimation]]
* Wolf and Hare from ''Animation/NuPogodi''.
* ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' is about a wolf named Wolffy who constantly tries to capture and eat a group of goats.
[[AC:{{Magazines}}]]
* Pwt and Crraw in ''Magazine/MuseMagazine''.
[[AC:VideoGames]]
* ''[[VideoGame/SidAndAlsIncredibleToons Sid & Al's Incredible Toons]]'' stars [[SpeciesSurname Sid E. Mouse and Al E. Cat]]. The objective of many of the puzzles is to set up a RubeGoldbergDevice that will help one of them kill or eat the other.
[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'': The cat, Tom, is always chasing or otherwise trying to thwart the mouse, Jerry. [[RoadRunnerVsCoyote It rarely ends well for Tom]].
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' and ''Merrie Melodies'':
** Sylvester and Tweety. The former, a cat, really wants to eat the latter, a canary, but [[RoadRunnerVsCoyote never succeeds]].
** WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner. Wile E. Coyote tries repeatedly and [[RoadRunnerVsCoyote fails repeatedly]] to catch the Road Runner so he can feast on him.
*** Chuck Jones would muse that by the end of a typical Road Runner cartoon, the Coyote doesn't care fudge about the Road Runner. He just wants one of his contraptions to work.
** [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Affable doofus]] hunter Elmer Fudd and WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and/or Daffy Duck.
* Hanna-Barbera's ''Blast-Off Buzzard'' and intended prey, Crazylegs the Snake, followed this trope as well.
* [=DePatie=]-Freleng's "The Ant and the Aardvark."
* As mentioned in the description, the TropeNamer is ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBlueRacer'' is about the eponymous Blue Racer chasing (and failing to catch) a Japanese beetle.
