They are interesting and funny. But most importantly, they are highly consistent across movies and cartoon series. Here are the Cartoon Laws of Motion:
- Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation. Then the regular laws of 32ft/s² take over. (The character walks off the edge of a cliff, remains suspended in midair, and doesn't fall until he looks down.)
- Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter (the "silhouette of passage").
- Certain bodies can pass through solid walls painted to resemble tunnel entrances; others cannot. (Corollary: Portable holes work.)
- All principles of gravity are negated by fear. (i.e., scaring someone causes them to jump impossibly high in the air.)
- Any violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent. (In other words, cats heal fast and/or have an infinite number of lives.) Corollary: Cats can fit into unusually small spaces.
- Everything falls faster than an anvil. (A falling anvil will always land directly upon the character's head, squashing him flat or driving him into the ground.)
- A body will contort and stay contorted to any hole that is smaller than it. (Cat goes in mouse hole and comes out as a long semicircle.)
- Any vehicle on a path of travel is at a state of indeterminacy until an object enters a location which is in the path of travel. (Wolf walks into road and gets run over by a bus.)
