Scat Cats (1957)
9/10
¡That's my Son!
8 January 2023
In this Return to the page, I would like to review Scat Cats from 1957, which I find quite curious for not having Tom and Jerry as stars and much less Tom as Mascot, that's right, a Short Film Starring Spyke and Tyke and with Butch as a pet at Home.

The Short is based on George and Joan spending the Night away, so they leave Spike and his son in charge of the home, but Butch, the New Pet calls his friends to have a party, but the Dogs will avoid all attempts to the Cats for that to happen.

MGM increasingly decreased its animation, now the focus was on making animations on a wide screen (Cinemascope) with limited and minimalist drawings with muted colors and with simpler and recycled animations, but that does not prevent the pleasant environment, the Animation even for the By the standards of that time it was very decent in my opinion (Compared to the animation that UPA, Universal and Warner Brothers had at the time it was impeccable), The character designs look smaller, but the backgrounds in cinemascope were very nice and cautiously colored.

Scott Bradley is still my idol, his music gives the feeling of fun that prevails in every MGM cartoon, cleverly placed, it's great and he attributes something to the fun in this cartoon.

Homer Brightman (coming from Disney and Walter Lantz Productions) may not have been well liked by MGM Fans, but his story was enjoyable, sensible and original, the jokes were cleverly placed, the Animation added too much to the music, the Voice acting was quite memorable and this animation reflects what in the future would be "Top Cat" by Hanna Barbera.

A great, no-nonsense cartoon, which is why I give it a 9.
