Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Hitchcoc Warner Brothers often used caricatures of Hollywood stars in their cartoons. Here we have a pair of cats who are doing Abbott and Costello. I was never that fond of Bud Abbott because he always came across as a cruel man. Not just a straight man. Here the Costello cat is subjected to the nastiness of his partner and believes he is at fault. There is one element of significance here. This is the offering where Tweety Bird first appears. He is every bit as formidable as he ever becomes. He does look a little anemic, however.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "A Tale of Two Kitties" is another Warner Bros cartoon from the days of World War II. It runs for 6.5 minutes and features the usual suspects who worked on this film (Clampett, Foster, Blanc, Pierce). The most interesting thing is that we have cat versions of Abbott and Costello here and I really wish the focus could have been more on them. Instead, it is all about the gadgets and of course about Tweety (not yet yellow) prevailing. Shame. This was definitely a missed opportunity. There are a couple solid moments, but in the end it is just another fairly mediocre cartoon that could have been a lot more interesting. a missed opportunity. Thumbs down.

TheLittleSongbird At 17, I still enjoy Looney Tunes, and a Tale of Two Kitties is no exception. It is not a favourite by all means, but it is fun to watch and a funny takeoff of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. With the exception of an odd-looking Tweety (as if he had just hatched), the animation is fine. The backgrounds are nice in particular and the camera angles are clever. The music is very good, and the humour is all intact and well timed. I particularly loved the "this little piggy went to market" bit, reminded me of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.The voice acting is commendable. While Mel Blanc slightly overdoes it as Catstello, he does a stellar job as Tweety, who is just as sweet, funny and likable as he is now. Strictly speaking, he is quite bad ass as well. Plus Ted Pierce does well as Babbit in a good grouchy straight talking impression. All in all, it is a lot of fun, not the best Looney Tunes cartoon, but recommended. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Neil Doyle This is one of the better Warner Bros. cartoons of the era ('42), with two cats patterned after Abbott and Costello (Babbitt and Catstello), with Abbott trying to get Costello to pry a teeny bird (who turns out to be Tweety Bird), out of his nest.The gimmicks Abbott uses to get Costello launched into space are hilarious, each one more clever than the one before. This leaves little time to devote to Tweety Bird, but this is Tweety's first film and he doesn't look quite like the finished product that he became several cartoons later.The usual high standard of animation is present, along with the character voices supplied by Mel Blanc (Catstello and Tweety) and Tedd Pierce (Babbit).
