The Cat Concerto

I remember how disappointed my friends and I were when the cartoon before the feature film was "Tom and Jerry." I still don't find them funny. Every plot was pretty much the same with Jerry eventually coming out on top (cat prejudice). This one is good because it relies on wonderful animation, especially where Tom is playing Liszt's Second "Hungarian Rhapsody." He has every right to be left alone but for that damned mouse. The closeup of Tom's playing are right on. It makes one wonder how it was done. The point/counterpoint of shenanigans is very clever, syncing with the music beautifully. I think that most kids of my generation know what classical music they do from these cartoon efforts. Nice work.
