Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

TheLittleSongbird Bob Clampett's cartoons often were high in energy and fun and displayed a uniquely wacky visual style that one can recognise immediately. Missteps were not that many...Unfortunately, 'The Hep Cat', despite some moments is an example of a Clampett cartoon that doesn't work.There are definitely things that save it. The animation, while not as wacky as most of Clampett's other cartoons, is colourful, eye-popping, rich in detail and high in imagination. Carl Stalling's energetically high-voltage, luscious, rousing, dynamic and action-enhancing music score and inspired arrangements of pre-existing music shows off his genius.And the same applies for the voice talents with the most memorable contributions being from Bea Benaderet and Mel Blanc. The final minute and a half is entertaining and imaginative and the chase displays the most energy 'The Hep Cat' gets.However, 'The Hep Cat' is let down by a thin story, that lacks energy and makes the cartoon feel stretched and too long (and it's only 6 minutes or so), and an even thinner script that doesn't have enough laughs and what there is is not that funny with out of place and out of date hip language.Pacing is pretty limp until the last minute and a half, and much of the cartoon is high on predictability and apart from some of the animation, the music, the voice talent and the last minute a half low on energy and imagination. All the characters are forgettable and lack the likability or fun factor.Overall, disappointing though watchable. Expected much better from Clampett. 5/10 Bethany Cox

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . of the creepy white female cat shown in full body only from 1:26 through 1:31 of the six-minute Warner Bros. animated short THE HEP CAT, but few people will be able to Unsee those perverse five seconds of film. Adeline sports a human female face and butt, along with four slender womanly legs wearing four stiletto high-heeled shoes! Otherwise, she is a fairly ordinary feline. Pursued by the Black title character (whose singing and tap-dancing seem to fall upon her deaf ears), this milky dream pus--ah, cat gives her Dark Stalker a literal Cold Shoulder. Apparently, the "leans and the fats" THE HEP CAT croons about comprising his 103 previous conquests were 100% feline and 0% Fraulein. I remember that one of my Great Uncles made a joke at a family gathering about an "X-Rated" cartoon character of the 1900s called FRITZ THE CAT or something. The way I recall it, he was immediately exiled outside for a "smoke break" (even though it was Winter) for bringing up such an unsavory subject with children present. Too bad Warner cartoon producer Leon Schlesinger failed to send his animators for a smoke break when they pipe-dreamed up Adeline!

Lee Eisenberg I can't claim to be a connoisseur of Bob Clampett's work, but I've liked most of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons. A previous reviewer said that "The Hep Cat" falls short of Clampett's usual quality. I, on the other hand, think that this cartoon is actually quite neat, as a cool feline tries to woo a woman, but a dog keeps interfering. I assume that the title referred to the sort of person who would soon be a beatnik. Even if it doesn't, I still have often noticed that the Looney Tunes cartoons had a way with jazz (the ultimate kind of beatnik music).All in all, not a masterpiece, but worth seeing.

movieman_kev A swinging hep cat is trying to make it with a cute female cat but a dog is in the way at every step. When I usually think of the name Robert Clampett, the word that automatically comes to mind is "sheer greatness", which only makes this short all the more disappointing. In fact if I didn't read the title screen I would've had to no clue he even made this short. In other Clampett cartoons you can come in at any point and sit down to watch and KNOW he made that given short. His hand in it was usually that great. Sadly, this one I don't like nearly as much as it's not a good barometer of his major talents. This animated short can be seen on Disc 4 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2.My Grade: C
