slymusic It's nighttime, time for everyone to put their cats outside. Porky Pig tries it and gets nothing but resistance from his four felines. This becomes the premise for "Kitty Kornered", a wonderful cartoon featuring some of the wildest, wackiest animation imaginable, thus making the characters flexible and rubbery. That can only mean this cartoon was directed by "Mr. Wacky" himself: Robert Clampett! My favorite sequences from this cartoon include the following (DO NOT read any further if you have not yet seen it). A snooty butler rolls out a carpet & pillow and then relinquishes his elegance by giving his feline a mighty kick! Porky pulls one of his cats out of a mouse hole, and the cat in turn pulls a few yelping mice out of the hole; after the cat gives Porky a poke in the eyes (Bob Clampett must have been a fan of the Three Stooges), the cat & mice transform themselves into billiard balls. AND, in a couple of references from the 1944 Warner Bros. live-action feature film "Arsenic and Old Lace", all four of Porky's cats disguise themselves as Teddy Roosevelt and lead a charge up the staircase; and a very mean-looking Porky quickly draws open the curtains while his felines are drinking, smoking, and eating chocolates."Kitty Kornered" is a fine Porky Pig cartoon with a bit of a surprise - an early version of the ugly, slobbering cat Sylvester. All he needed was to be paired with a baby canary or a Mexican mouse and he was in business!

Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) I absolutely love this cartoon! it is one my favorites from the late Bob Clampett. It has scenes you will remember and laugh your head off; also I am a cat lover. Out of Porky's four cats, I love the little, bitty kitty. Also, you might notice that one of the cats is an early version of Sylvester only he's got a black nose not red; I love that speech he made :"Brother pussycats! We've been skidded out, scooted out, backed out and booted out! But tonight, we was scared out! It's unhospitabitatble, and furthermore, it's un-cat-stitutional!"Another scene I love is when Porky crashes into the china cabinet, with a teapot on his head; through the spout he said "I hate p-p-p-pussycats!"

movieman_kev Now THIS is more like it, after having to sit through the awful Tweety Bird cartoons. The next short is this classic, hilarious tale of Porky Pig trying to let his cats out for the night and their retaliation. Brilliant in it's execution, this Robert Clampett classic lampoons Arsenic and old lace as well as War of the Worlds. Every single gag hits the spot and it'll leave you laughing with it's hilarity. Just simply a great cartoon all around. This animated short can be seen on Disc 3 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2 and also features an optional commentary by Michael Barrier.My Grade: A+

angelynx-2 That about says it - only Clampett would have booted-out house cats try to scare their way back into the nice warm house by convincing their master (in this case, a terrified Porky Pig) that the Earth is being overrun by Martians! One of the best double-takes ever.
