Reviews
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Michael_Elliott Scaredy Cat (1948) *** (out of 4) Fun Merrie Melodies short has Porky Pig buying a new house but his cat Sylvester is the only one that can see the strange things going on in it. This leads to some misunderstanding as Porky doesn't realize the danger inside the house and Sylvester will have to build up the courage to fight it. This is a pretty good entry in the series as both Porky and Sylvester are at the top of their game. The biggest weakness is that the mice really aren't developed too well so they're only middle ground villains. The best sequence in the movie is when the mice push the bed out the window and Sylvester gets blamed for what follows even though he's just trying to save Porky.
ccthemovieman-1 Porky and Sylvester are checking out their new home, which looks like "The Munsters" mansion or "The Addams Family" house. Sylvester is scared stiff, right from the start entering the spooky house. Porky is just happy to have a house - the only one his real estate agent had to offer. Sylvester won't let go of Porky, literally.The cartoon didn't live up to its premise and wasn't really that funny. Poor Sylvester is unfairly accused of a few things until the end, so it was a bit frustrating more than funny to watch. Justice did prevail, although the ending also was weak. Let's be honest: it wasn't one of the Looney Tunes' better efforts.
Stephen Holloway While the only downside in this cartoon is that Sylvester didn't speak, this is still an classic by the late Chuck Jones. Porky and Sylvester arrive an an run down house (the last that the real estate agent had,) right away the cat gets scared by an bat. Porky loves the house and decides to turn in while Sylvester sleeps in the kitchen. That's where the fun really starts. He gets scared by every little thing and runs to Porky who is trying to sleep. In one scene they're outside and Porky asked Sylvester to closed the window which launches the bed back to the house which was an good gag. Eventually, Porky is fed up with Sylvester and checks it out for himself. The pig gets tied up and gagged and Sylvester runs away. Then his angel arrived and convinces him to remove the mice. Which he did expect 1 who drops an bowling ball on Sylvester's head. Like I said, the downside is that Sylvester is silent but it's still an classic by Chuck Jones. I highly recommend it and its squeal Claws for Alarm. Final Score: an 9 out of 10.
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!
