"My blankie . . . . ." I found out some interesting trivia for this cartoon. The creators originally wanted most of the people auditioning for O. Ratz to give him a voice similiar to Hedley Lamarr from "Blazing Saddles." They didn't think of actually getting Harvey Korman himself because they didn't think he was available or willing to do this role. Turns out he was. As an anecdote, while he was recording the screams, he paused and dead panned "Eight years of Shakespeare for this" and went right on screaming again.

O Ratz: My mother did not raise me to spend the winter in a garbage can. Dave: You're a rat. She did too. O Ratz: But I'm trying to rise above it.

The WIC series spawned a ton of great shows (PowerPuff Girls, Courage, Dexter, etc), but this short has always been one of my favorites. Too bad this never became its own show too.

I think it's clever how O Ratz looks so deformed, yet he has such an intellectual voice.
@LooneyFan Жыл бұрын
He’s voiced by Harvey Korman he was best known as the voice of Gazoo on The Flintstones. While Dave D. Fly is voiced by Marvin Kaplan he was best known for playing the voice of Choo-Choo on Top Cat and Gourdy the Genie on The Smurfs

6:34 - 'Well, whatszzzzzzzz... left?' ;) Amazing, it's been almost 20 years since I've seen its premiere run on CN and I still remembered that line :). It's a pity it didn't make it to a full series, this and 2 Stupid Dogs, these were my fav cartoons back then.

Lol Isn’t that amazing how we retain those little fragments? I remembered the line about “steam heat” and him sitting on the manhole cover then getting run over. Haven’t seen this since I was a little kid in the mid 90s but I remembered that bit, and decided to search for this short. Now I’m trying to find the other short that I’m almost certain premiered on Cartoon Cartoons which creeped me out as a kid. It was about some weird ass cat and a spooky mansion. Lol Hope I can find it.
