The Looney Tunes are one of those great series that from a child you will like until your death, The Merrie Melodies and the Looney Tunes are a great series, more than 1000 animated shorts and all of them are enjoyable, well, actually not all of them, but here the main criticism is the Music.
Milt Franklin died of a Heart Attack in the Production of the short, so obviously his musical score was left unfinished, Bill Lava who would later work on the Pink Panther cartoons, makes a pretty bad replacement If you ask me, after the scene where Sylvester climbs a tree is when the music changes to Bill Lava's, Milt Franklin had given it a mildly amusing aura with his fantastic music, but Bill Lava throws all that away. Including Bizarre music that more than being funny, it's scary.
The Cartoon was Produced in the last year of the good Looney Tunes cartoons, after 1962 the quality fell downhill and everything is due to several bad decisions that I will explain in another review, here the first drop in quality occurs, the Music of Bill Lava is an Unforgivable Degradation of Franklin's Music, Lava composes music with a more tense and somber aura that ends up giving chills, but it's not as bad as some say.
Animation is mediocre, although Slightly better at best than in later years, Backgrounds don't draw too much attention, Character Designs are decent and resemble the Originals but Colors are Simple and look somewhat forced, although in general, the Animation is not so bad.
Voice Acting is unaffected, Mel Blanc and June Foray as always offer Decent performances in the best case, although in reality the voice acting does not affect too much in the short.
This is a mediocre short in General, not as bad as those that would follow in the following years but it shows how the quality was going lower and lower, the animation looks out of place with monotone colors and simple backgrounds, the Music leaves a lot to be desired, it has a gloomy and out of place atmosphere, Lava really was not for this type of cartoons, in that case he would have preferred Dean Elliot, or at least Eugene Poddany as Composer, but what can be done.
In itself, a rather weak Cartoon of one of the Best duos of all time, the Music and the Animation are too badly synchronized that makes the Cartoon shiver, I do not like the slow start that the short has, it lasts 6 minutes, but the first 3 are from Tweety Using his Flying Cage, Sylvester is not interesting and he is only as a villain, basically this short is not among the best but not among the worst either, I would dare to say that this is not the short that started the Fall of Quality of the Looney Tunes, but if one of the First to show drops in quality.
For everything I said before, this short gets a 6.
