Herman and Katnip in Rail Rodents (Original Version)

[@aeyenthelobster4858]

Basically Tom and Jerry but with more extreme violence

[@dorourke105]

Also they actually could talk unlike tom and jerry

[@ScoobyMystery]

Violence is what counts.

[@TheAnimatedLegendaryCoyote2008]

That cartoon was made in 1944

[@marlawhite1430]

I kinda felt sorry for Katnip at the end . I know he's a sadistic bully, but sending him freezing to the North Pole with no food was too much🤣 Herman is a jerk. I just always wished to see Katnip win against Herman a couple of time. Katnip is more lovable.

[@marlawhite1430]

@@dorourke105 Wrong! Tom and Jerry could talk but they just didn't do it too often. Tom sang : 🎶🎶Is you is or Is You ain't my baby🎶🎶 Tom often said : Don't you believe it!

[@bigchungua4life852]

Itchy and scratchy are based off of this.

[@vincentsartain3061]

Most people say Itchy and Scratchy are based on Tom & Jerry but I agree with you, they are much more similar to H&K.

[@kooarchived]

Mostly every "cat and mouse" cartoon from the Golden Age of Animation.

[@AndrewsSister75]

itchy and scratchy are basically Herman and Catnip on crack cocaine

[@pivotalpancake5454]

Tom actually tried to murder Jerry in the earlier cartoons. Nowadays, they're more frenemies than anything

[@billriddle9215]

@@pivotalpancake5454 Don't forget Tom's suicidal as well...lost cartoon.

This story was written by Jack Mercer, who was the voice of Popeye.

[@Ktkk4]

Joel Lafargue

[@vincentsartain3061]

@vintagetvandexciting Mercer was also an animator. He "accidentally" landed the voice role of Popeye after he was caught clowning around with fellow employees at the animation studio, imitating Popeye, around the same time Fleischer was giving the original Popeye voice actor the boot.

[@markcambrone8369]

Katnip complains about their singing... while sleeping in the underside of a moving train. He shouldn’t have been able to hear anything, let alone fall asleep.

[@eloiseockert9319]

It is an animation/cartoon like who cares?

[@IrkenExile]

Reminds me of those guys who can sleep through a freaking hurricane with crap flying and crashing everywhere, but wake up when you let out a mosquito sneeze. Like their brain filters out all but very specific sounds

[@Demusthenes]

[@raymondyorysh7401]

Love the theme song ❤

[@bobbeaumont324]

I like the opening theme song.

[@Izumi-sp6fp]

The song says, "Katnip the cat, packs his bags beneath the house!" And the drawing shows him running away from the house with his suitcase and _golf clubs_ lol!

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

my first time ever seeing this I have heard of it

[@evancredeur7498]

I looked it up, and Villains Wiki makes it perfectly clear that Katnip is more of a target and a victim rather than an actual antagonist.

[@raymondyorysh7401]

Fun fact: Herman and Katnip made a cameo appearance in a Casper the friendly Ghost cartoon “Ghost of Honor”.

[@masterluisYTV]

lol feels like a bootleg. amazing animaton

[@catalinaprada5390]

At least katnip didn't die in a horrible manner this time

[@pennysanchez7656]

This is Itchy and Scratchy's ancestors, take notes.

[@markcambrone8369]

1:13-1:20 So, the sound of the mice singing bugged him and woke him up? Not the fact he was outside a moving trains, right between the very loud wheels?

[@donthidefrommeh5374]

You are really finding logic in cartoons?

[@sadouldimingojonas763]

Recuerdo esta caricatura, aqui en Mexico dentro del show de Gasparin (Casper). Y el raton Herman conserva su nombre original, pero Katnip el gato se le conocio aca como; Sir Gaton

[@davehire1433]

This is basically the plot of “Emperor Of The North”.

[@7Shu]

Herman and catnip are just nock off of Tom and jerry

[@johnrobinsoniii4028]

No, not really. "T&J" and "H&K" are just two "cat and mouse" teams with their own set of adventures. And unlike "Tom and Jerry", "Herman and Katnip" actually talk.(thanks to the talents of Arnold Stang and Sid Raymond)

[@vincentsartain3061]

I like H&K less because every cartoon of theirs has the exact same plot (copying & pasting from a recent Facebook chat or mine): The Paramount animation wasn't so bad, but the writing was formulaic and lazy. Here's the layout of each and every Herman & Katnip cartoon: 1.) Katnip is terrorizing the mice while Herman is away. 2.) Fade to Herman, who's on his way home and singing (tone-deafly!) to himself. 3.) When Herman arrives, he's greeted with a gloom and doom report by the spokesman of the other mice, who are all completely demoralized and at wits end on what to do about Katnip. 4.) Herman becomes enraged and vows to destroy Katnip. 5.) Herman effortlessly destroys Katnip (usually KILLING him), and all the mice celebrate. THE END.

[@vincentsartain3061]

@Drop the Chalupa! Even though you rooted for Jerry, you couldn't help but feel sorry for Tom, lots of times; Tom is actually on the likeable side and isn't a brainless twit like Katnip, but is really more a victim of his bumbling and overconfidence. Tom isn't always out to destroy Jerry, sometimes Jerry is having boisterous company or otherwise annoys Tom, and other times Tom is threatened with being kicked out if he doesn't catch mice. Katnip, however, is just both idiotic and malicious, having no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

[@NealMouse9140]

Tom and Jerry can't talk tho.

[@Martynde]

@@NealMouse9140DONT YOU BELIEVE IT!

[@Stephen10528]

If you ask me the main reason T&J’s better is that it’s less ☝️-sided.

[@dannygaines1352]

Wonderful animation.

[@Pinie-ue9mz]

Did these Herman and catnip shorts ever air on CN?

[@josebro352]

I don't think so

[@littleaudrey8780]

They did but I think boomerang air them I don’t know

[@Rlotpir1972]

CN and Boomerang (owned by Turner) DOES NOT own or air ANY cartoon by Harvey Entertainment (owned by NBC/Universal).

[@Pinie-ue9mz]

Ok

[@johnpatterson4816]

They might have back in the 90's before they got into showing crappy assed Japanese Anime as well as equally crummy animated series like Regular Show.

[@Sksk27547]

Herman is a gang-boss, hilarious 😂 [october20,2023]

[@Stephen10528]

Yesterday I watched an episode of Different Strokes where Sam McKinney had a 🐁 named Herman. There was no 🐈 named Katnio though.

[@josecrane4132]

Interesting the mouse doesn't say anything throughout.
