GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Lee Eisenberg In the first Sylvester/Porky pairing, they move into an abandoned house, which Sylvester discovers is inhabited by killer mice. Every time that he saves Porky from getting murdered, the clueless Porky thinks that Sylvester is the crazy one. Sylvester just never seems to have any luck! One thing that I wondered was whether or not the apparently evil rodents are supposed to be Hubie and Bertie (or their relatives); they looked pretty similar. If you've seen enough Looney Tunes cartoons, you may recall that Hubie and Bertie are those mice who play all sorts of nasty tricks on Claude the Cat to get him out of the house.Oh well. Whether they are or not, "Scaredy Cat" is still a great cartoon. "Claws for Alarm" had almost exactly the same plot.
movieman_kev Porky Pig and Sylvester the Cat find themselves in a spooky house where Sylvester sees dastardly mice planning an execution, needless to say Porky doesn't believe him for much of the short.I liked this cartoon, as Slvester is a favorite character of mine and tweety isn't in this at all, I could never really stand that bird so that's another reason I liked this one. Also call me a tad morbid, but when Sylvester nonviolently tried to commit suicide I found myself laughing. This funny cartoon is on Disk 2 of the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1"My Grade: B+
Akbar Shahzad (rapt0r_claw-1) Scaredy Cat is the first in a series of Porky/Sylvester teamings directed by Chuck Jones, and the series certainly started with a bang. Sylvester and his master Porky move into the last house the real estate agent had, for reasons only Sylvester understands. The house is inhabited by homicidal mice, who will stop at nothing to kill the intruders most painfully. Sylvester is the only one who knows what's going on, and the oblivious Porky mistakes Sylvester's attempts to save him as murderous. The animation of Porky is good, but Sylvester doesn't really look like himself. We must take into consideration that Sylvester was quite a new face in '48, and besides Jones never really drew him like Freleng did. The best horror scenes are those in which the mice's plans don't come off, like Sylvester's empty basket descending. The audience never knows what happened to the basket, nor what happened to Sylvester when he goes all white. This is a brilliantly funny cartoon, essential for all Looney Tunes fans, and as all Looney Tunes fans will have the Golden Collection DVD, all fans will see it!
Sk8ta1987 An old house, porky, sylvester, some ghouls, and killer mice! What a combo. Porky Pig moves into an old house with his scitsophrantic pussy cat. The house itself looks like the Bates House from the movie Psycho. But anyways, Sylvester keeps on seeing these strange apparitions, and then finally gets really creeped out when he sees a group of axe holding mice draging a tied up cat down a dark hallway. Sylvester then tries numerous times to stay in porky's room instead of sleeping down in the kitchen. The mice start to try and kill porky (sylvester is the only one who notices of course) and when he tries to save him, it backfire's leaving sylvester in pain. A great cartoon! One of my favorites!
