Tom & Jerry – Cat Concerto
Breve e divertentissimo cartone animato che fa ormai parte dei classici. A 63 anni di distanza (fu realizzato il 26 aprile 1946) è ancora un gran bel pezzo di divertimento e di qualità tecnica. Fu prodotto in Technicolor da Fred Quimby con la supervisione musicale di Scott Bradley e le animazioni di Kenneth Muse, Ed Barge e Irven Spence. Vinse, sempre nel 1946, l’Academy Award come miglior soggetto corto nella sezione Cartoons. Il pezzo di piano che i nostri amici suonano è la Rapsodia ungherese no.2 di Franz Liszt (suonata nella realtà da Shura Cherkassky), ma sentiamo anche nei titoli di testa il Preludio op.28 no.24 di Frédéric Chopin e On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe canzone del 1944 con musica di Harry Warren e parole di Johnny Mercer (qui suonata dal minuto 04:47 al 04:58) che fu cantata da Judy Garland nel film The Harvey Girls (che in Italia uscì col titolo Le ragazze di Harvey).

id love to learn the song Tom tries to play here
@NikiPaprika me too and I’m only 21! I was brought up watching these types of cartoons.
@insertoriginaluser I totally agree. I get so annoyed when I look at the horrible animation in today’s modern cartoons, especially as an aspiring animator. It makes me so grateful to have been brought up with the classics like these. As an adult, I still love Tom & Jerry and other classic cartoons, because I really appreciate all the effort that goes into the fantastic, fluid animation! No computers back then! All by hand!
Absolutely amazing!
I love these cartoons; there’ll never be anything like these again.
Magnifique!
Why was Jerry sleeping inside the piano anyway? LOL
You can always be able to between hand drawn and computer generated stuff… Hand drawn takes the cake. Nothing beats human intuition when it comes to aesthetics. Top notch animation for this, despite it being a stylized cartoon, the movements were very natural when it was supposed to be.
God you’d think today’s cartoons would be way beyond this standard already… But no, not in my opinion.
classic!
I love how he has to improvise when Jerry starts bothering him. Genius stuff.
sort of like Fantasia in way, don’t you think?
3:40 lolz go Jerry! and what’s the song at 4:43?
You’d think Jerry would have known this was gonna happen one day, seeing as he moved into a piano.
Brilliant. As simple as that.
The best time in cartoons. Drawn, not generated. With real music, not songs. Animated violence, not bloodshed. T&J, along with many other Hannah Barbera and WB animations were the best cartoons in my childhood and I still watch them when I get the chance.
cheap at 4:40 lol
@Detoyato what are they teaching kids!!! LOL

@matthewwood2010 In real Pianos the “Felts” Indeed go up but they are positioned UNDER the Strings.
@matthewwood2010
It’s a cartoon?
amazing at 4:40!!!!
When “Rhapsody Rabbit” was sent to the Technicolor company for processing in 1946, the company accidentally shipped it to MGM instead of back to WB. Hanna and Barbera saw it, and quickly threw together a Tom & Jerry cartoon that was just like it. (Hanna & Barbera claimed that their cartoon, “Cat Concerto”, took? a year to complete. Yeah, right.)
“Cat Concerto” won an Academy Award as best animated short cartoon of 1946, while the Bugs Bunny cartoon it plagiarized was not even nominated.
I love this episode, it mixes one of my favorite piano pieces, with one of my favorite cartoon *-*
why are the hammers raising off the strings when the keys are pressed??
Such a clever episode because Jerry was wanting to ruin the concert for Tom but everything Jerry did to the piano wasn’t out of tune at all lol
damn ! Tom is a freaking musical genius!
