1955 Noveltoon - Kitty Cornered - tv print

From the Harveytoons Show

[@joshh9431]

The more I watch these Famous Studios cartoons, the more I dig them!

[@elijahjones585]

Ik right? And there so underrated too

[@stephenholloway6893]

Too bad Paramount was cutting corners in the animation department. It's an good short don't get me wrong but if they just didn't cut the budget the studio might had an chance post Popeye to be more successful. Yes this was released about 2 years before the Popeye shorts ended, but still even at this point, the budget in the shorts was starting to show.

[@DORA-jn8oz]

Id rather watch Columbia pictures cartoons than noveltoons

[@joshh9431]

@DORA-jn8oz I respect your opinion, at least it’s not 1940's Fleischer cartoons like Gabby and Animated Antics

[@DORA-jn8oz]

@@joshh9431 Gabby isn't that good tbh, I wished that noveltoons made more episodes of blackie and wolfe

[@jaykoblue172]

The butler in this short is more murderous than Edgar from Aristocats.

[@turtlepower4lee]

He reminds me of Edgar the Bad Butler from The Aristocats.

[@vincentfichtler7758]

Who knows ? maybe this cartoon was one of the inspiration of the Aristocats

[@SteveCarras]

He sure does.

[@MM-hn9cq]

Yeah I know right.

Poor innocent little Kitty !

[@plateshutoverlock]

This cartoon is one of the more disturbing ones I've seen with the way the butler turned completely evil and murderous. The slapstick violence does not bother me as I have grown up watching the original Tom and Jerry cartoons and such. But sometimes I wonder if they have crossed the line in other ways, such as with this butler. This episode turns out as him being completely normal, but once he sees the will behind the cat's favorite toy (how the fuck didn't he notice it before?), he goes entirely batshit insane, and launches his first attack like a precision guided missle with a gigantic battle axe on a kitten that at least to his knowledge is weak and defenseless, then it's one attack after another with no pause in between. Like a highly rabid animal. At the end it is implied that the cat managed to get the gun from the butler and shoot him, but likely the butler was so batshit crazy at this point he ended up shooting himself by mistake. Watching this as an adult disturbs me. Watching this as a kid likely would've sent me into a sheer state of panic wondering if the people I trusted would suddenly change and try to kill me (unfortunately this happens in real life).

[@GhostsDontWalk1]

Oh wow! I'm currently watching through all of the Harveytoons cartoons and this one is probably the funniest one yet. XD

[@rwlwrestlingleague2975]

These cartoons had the sexiest music.

[@SteveCarras]

Strange how ALL of these 50s Harveytoons and Popeyes contributed Winston Sharples TV music Library cues!

[@solangegriffin5894]

I always think that show video is so amazing in the whole world 🌟!

[@RageChocobo]

Well, miss Kuddles sure loses a lot of butlers that way!

[@erainmartinez8175]

uh the butler was trying to kill her

[@bursegsardaukar]

Well, the Will only mentioned one butler by name so the next one isn't going to inherit anything...

[@shawnmalone9711]

I remember this cartoon! I haven't seen it since the late 1960s. I guess it was considered too violent to be shown on TV. These cartoons were made to be shown at the movies with the newsreel and main feature and people were not worried about violence back in the day.

[@VeganPopTarts]

It'd be really neat to go back in time and watch newsreels, cartoons, and short features before a movie. The movie theaters were a lot prettier too, regarding the architecture.

[@shawnmalone9711]

@@VeganPopTarts Downtown Los Angeles has a lot of old movie theaters , but they are converted to stores now.

[@VeganPopTarts]

@@shawnmalone9711 Someday I'll have to visit LA so that I can try to find them and see what resembles an old movie theater. I love doing stuff like that. Last Summer, my family too me to see the Lion King musical in this old stage theater in Cleveland. I think it's called "Playhouse Theater" in Playhouse Square. It was so beautiful! It was built in the 20s I think. There should be a lot of pictures online.

[@shawnmalone9711]

@@VeganPopTarts I'm glad you like history . Google old Los Angeles Movie theaters and you'll see what they looked like in the past. I have a question: you have a few minutes of the cartoon"From Dime to Dime" on your videos. Someone called phatbuzz uploaded the entire cartoon. It used to be on KZbin several years ago but KZbin deleted the cartoon.

[@VeganPopTarts]

@@shawnmalone9711 Yeah! History is great! ☺ that person's account may have gotten too many copyright strikes or something like that. Is it this cartoon? kzbin.info/www/bejne/poGmh6yql5ujrqc

[@benjamingutierrez704]

I was just thinking about this cartoon yesterday thanks for the post

[@onyx59]

From Famous Studios, so I call this "Bluto's Butler."

[@damienchance3153]

That poor kitten

[@solangegriffin5894]

I wonder if she is going to find a mate to starting a family of her own someday 🌟 . when she grow up into a beautiful she cat in the whole world 💫.

[@bursegsardaukar]

It's hard to get butlers like Cadbury or Alfred.

[@stephenholloway6893]

So Warner at this point didn't copyright or trademark Acme in the animation side of this at this point after all.

[@Stuingtion]

You know, they really need to put a part in those wills that says: "however, if ??? Should deliberately try to murder ??? To get the inheritance for themselves they will NOT get one cent of it."

[@Pinie-ue9mz]

Are these aired on CN?

[@josecrane4132]

I never understood the title card for characters who make a single appearance. Like Martin canine.

[@stephenholloway6893]

Paramount was hoping any of the one shot shorts would be successful to continue on. Most never did.

[@curtisdavis2157]

#CharmingAndYetSoElitist!

[@erainmartinez8175]

there most a law against animal cruelty

[@wonderlady5835]

This episode is like something out of Droopy short wags to riches 1949 short from Tex Avery spike tries to kill droopy from their late master inherit his mansion and Money $ so that spike can win and droopy dies funny episode I saw it a long time ago.

[@codytaylor2663]

but what happen to the butler!

[@edennettles1537]

It's implied he was shot

[@Gomogora534]

How the abusives bastard from the 50's get what he deserves !

[@Solomon0424]

This is very hard to watch, even if it is a cartoon

[@SteveCarras]

1950, not 1955....

[@VeganPopTarts]

Copyright date on title card is 1955. Also on IMDB m.imdb.com/title/tt0151224/?ref_=fn_al_tt_0

[@kooarchived]

Wow. The Harvey prints gave it the wrong year.

[@stephenholloway6893]

Plus the theme heard here debuted in 1955.

[@thekinglav1925]

Harveytoons is better than noveltoon NOVELTOON CARTOONS SFX ANNOYING ME

[@stephenholloway6893]

To be fair this was originally done by Paramount (aka Famous Studios) the same ones who did the Noveltoons.
