Sylvester Cat finds that his people have gone on vacation and left him alone in a locked house with a large stash of canned food in a cupboard. Sylvester needs a can opener, or he'll starve. And a pesky mouse has the only can opener in the house and torments Sylvester into trying more and more desperate measures to obtain it.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Michael_Elliott Canned Feud (1951) *** 1/2 (out of 4)Hilarious cartoon has Sylvester being left alone for two weeks and thankfully he has a cupboard full of food to eat. Sadly the mouse has the can opener so Sylvester must do battle in order to get it. I'm really not a big fan of Sylvester but this is a great short with one wonderful joke after another. The movie gets off to a very fast and furious pace and never slows down until the final credits come on. There are many great moments but my favorite would have to be seeing the fur-less Sylvester. That site is certainly worth anyone's seven minutes. The final gag at the end also works quite well. The mouse here is certainly the bad guy even though poor Sylvester takes all the beatings.
tavm Watching Friz Freling's Canned Feud, I found myself feeling very sorry for Sylvester for not getting the can opener, to open tuna, from a mean little mouse since no reason is established for his animosity. Still, its pretty funny seeing the cat trying to do nasty things back to the rodent and failing each time. And the twist at the end shows how exhausted Sylvester can get with each obstacle. So, with that in mind, I'll just say that despite the cat being more sympathetic this time around, that doesn't lessen the laughs I got from all his troubles with the mouse, the can opener, and the way things turned out in the end. Frustration can be so hilarious when one calamity builds upon another. So, on that note, I highly recommend Canned Feud.
anxietyresister I'm sorry, but I found it impossible to get into the spirit of this short, due to the fact that my sympathies lay not with the nasty little mouse, but with poor Sylvester who does all he can to just to get a bite to eat, but ultimately ends up with nothing. Why should I feel any affection for this vile vermin, who tortures the innocent cat for all of 7 minutes for no other reason other than he is obviously deriving some sick pleasure in watching our favourite feline injure himself terribly just to get his paws on some food? In other cartoons maybe Sylvester deserves what he gets, but in this particular animation all he wants is a decent meal, and he doesn't even get a good pay-off in the end.. Just when he thinks he's won, that rancid rodent has one more trick up his furry sleeve. Yes, like most Fritz Freleng classics, it's fantastically inventive and devilishly clever in it's own right, but so what? After it had finished I was left with a bad taste in my mouth no amount of soap and water could remove. Its not over yet though.. when I have the time and resources, I will remake "Canned Feud", this time putting in a far more satisfying ending than the current atrocity. Sylvester will have his tuna yet.. ;)
PeachHamBeach Hilarious cartoon in which Sylvester The Cat is accidentally left inside the house when his owners Sam and Violet go off to California for vacation. The puddy tat panics until he finds a cupboard full of tuna and other feline-friendly treats, but he can't find the can opener, because a mean-spirited mouse has appropriated the device!!! I felt sorry for poor Sylvester and wished he'd catch that mean rodent and eat him up!!!
