Scaredy Cat Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
utgard14 Classic Chuck Jones short with Porky Pig and his cat Sylvester moving into a run-down old house. Sylvester soon discovers the house is full of not-so-friendly mice that try to kill them at every turn. This is the first of three cartoons that paired Porky and Sylvester in a spooky place where strange things are happening. The animation is fluid and beautiful with rich Technicolor and well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Excellent voice work from Mel Blanc. Lively music by Carl Stalling. This is a great cartoon with nice atmosphere and lots of humor. Sylvester gets the funniest bits, despite his not talking in this entire short. The mice are a hoot! Love the ending.
tavm In most cartoons starring Sylvester the Cat that are directed by Friz Freling or Robert McKimson, the pussycat is usually the aggressor who's after either Tweety or Hippity Hopper, the baby kangaroo mistaken for a giant mouse either by the red-nosed feline or his son, Sylvester, Jr. In Chuck Jones' Scaredy Cat, he's Porky Pig's mute pet who, despite many attempts of signaling his master of danger, gets admonished as being delusional since Porky always sees something different. This change of characterization is quite convincing in Jones' hands and he stages many scenes of mice about to carry another cat for execution quite atmospheric. The rodents look like Hubie and Bertie, by the way. Quite funny scenes of Porky just being nonchalant almost the whole way when weird things happen behind his back. The ending may be lost to modern audiences but Scaredy Cat is mostly successful in being spooky and highly amusing at the same time.
slymusic "Scaredy Cat" is an entertaining Porky/Sylvester cartoon, with Porky in his typical fussy middle-aged bachelor role who is constantly annoyed at Sylvester's childishly scared mannerisms. In fact, probably the best thing about this short is Porky's stuttering reactions to Sylvester's paranoia about the "haunted" house where they are staying.Some of the funniest scenes in "Scaredy Cat" include the following. Sylvester jumps into Porky's nightshirt after he sees a group of mice executioners carrying a cat to the guillotine. Later, Sylvester prevents an anvil and a bowling ball (both supplied by the mice) from whacking Porky in the head, but Porky of course misunderstands and demands an explanation from the mute Sylvester. (In fact, throughout most of the film Porky simply misses out on all the mischief that the mice create, and this only adds to Sylvester's hysteria.) Porky is even too absentminded to notice that the mice pushed his bed out the window onto a flagpole while he is sleeping! "Scaredy Cat" is a well-named cartoon, and Porky and Sylvester make a great team. A similar "haunted house" premise cropped up again with the world-famous pig and cat in "Claws for Alarm" (1954).
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!
