....see it for the orange cat
15 August 2011
I must say, the orange cat's a great character here. He's a classic Chuck Jones character, with all the nuances & quirks you'd expect from a Jones creation. LOVE those thick busy eyebrows--almost reminds me of the Jones cats in "I Was A Teenage Thumb" or "Louvre Come Back To Me." And the way in which he nabs the mouse from the cat we first see (the schmuck's dumber than a STOOGE!). In fact, it's inexplicable why the orange cat's given less screen time than the other cat (who opens the cartoon singing "Santa Lucia," in the style of good old Michigan J. Frog). THIS cat, not to mention the mouse, one couldn't give a damn about. But just focus on that orange cat: he's fully-fleshed-out, and is true to his own self........certainly a lot more so than those OTHER two characters here, whoever they may be. WHADDA YA MEAN, "This is a Tom & Jerry"!?!
