Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

I like it, I thought it was enjoyable film and Sylvester gave us all a great musical performance; I should tell you all that this cartoon is a remake of an early Friz Freleng cartoon "Notes to You" starring Porky Pig and an unknown cat. But in this short, Elmer Fudd is the sleep-deprived victim.I do remember having "Notes to You" on VHS as a kid, but sadly it has been lost over the years. You know after watching this short, I found it even better than the other one. The one thing that disturb me, was that dumb-lookin' tabby sang like a girl! Like O-M-G! what the f*** was that all about?! So anyway, it is a good short. But at a 9 out 10 star rating for a mediocre storyline and one disturbing sight. But a wonderful performance by Sylvester.

Elmer Fudd is settling in for the night when he's constantly disrupted by Sylvester cat's singing. Fudd will go to any lengths to get a good night sleep, which makes the ending all the more funny. This is just simply a cute cartoon with all the singing and commotion and what not. It's a remake though which I can't help but hold against this short, but it's still good for what it is. That being a musical centric cartoon. This animated short can be seen on Disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2 and also features an optional commentary by Greg Ford.My Grade: B-

It's a classic, but is actually a remake of an earlier (pre-War) cartoon with Porky Pig in Elmer Fudd's role, and an anonymous cat. I wish I could recall the name of the original, but it is seen far less than this remake. Michael Maltese also wrote the original. The book gag is in the original, only Porky throws "The Falcon" and gets clobbered with "The Falcon Returns." I believe (not 100% certain), that Sylvester's 9 lives singing the "Sextet from Lucia" at the end of "Back Alley Op-roar" is a straight dub from the original's closing gag.There are some great gags here, and tho' maybe overused, I've always enjoyed where a singer takes in a little alum, tries to sing, and then we watch his head shrink to the size of a pin while his key goes up several octaves!

This is a remake of Freling's 1941 Notes To You, with Elmer Fudd taking over the role originated by Porky Pig. Cordell Barker's 1988 cartoon, "The Cat Came Back", has the same ending, although reached by a slightly different route, with different motives.
