Move over, Sonic — it looks like another small, fast-paced animated icon is getting his own shot at the big screen. A Speedy Gonzales movie is apparently back in the works at Warner Bros. Animation.

Jorge R. Gutierrez, the Mexican animator and filmmaker who co-created the cartoon El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera and directed 2014’s animated feature film The Book of Life , teased his involvement in the project in a tweet Tuesday (December 2).

“Guess what movie I might be developing at Warner Brothers Pictures Animation…” Gutierrez captioned a photo of himself wearing a small sombrero, red neckerchief and Speedy Gonzales t-shirt while holding up a plush toy of the Looney Tunes character.
