It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Somehow Bob Clampett cartoons were among the first I can remember seeing as a kid - they were the ones from the early days of the Warner brothers animation - and often they were on VHS tapes that even in the late 80's you could buy relatively cheaply as compilations. This involves a very anxious climb up a telephone pole for Catstello as Babbit is down below rooting him on (I think even as a kid it's evident who Mel Blanc is voicing, hint, it's the one who sounds like Daffy when he's exasperated).This is fully of fantastic visual comedy and plenty of character-driven humor; it's "safe" for kids, don't get nervous parents about early Looney Tunes cartoons being too "edgy" (and even if it was who cares) - but it's more than simply a spoof of Abbott and Costello. It's its own brand of wild humor all about tensions and suspense and if the mission to go up that damn pole will work. I love it and think about it often, the kind of characterizations you see as a child and stays with you for the rest of your life. In that sense it's as essential as learning scripture for a Christian as a tot!

A Tale of Two Kitties (1942) *** (out of 4)Babbit and Catstello are two cats who are hungry and find their chance at food in the small bird Tweety. What they don't know is that Tweety is a rather smart fellow who has enough fight in him to defend himself.I must admit that I was a little shocked to see how much of a wink to Abbott and Costello this Warner short was. The fact that it was a homage wasn't too uncommon but it's rather strange that Warner would pay so much respect to a comedy group that wasn't with them. With that said, the introduction to Tweety was certainly a winner and it's easy to see why he'd eventually have his own series. The Catstello cat was actually a great copy of Costello and I especially loved that child-like nature that they gave him. I thought the studio did a terrific job at making this cat just like the real Lou Costello and it certainly added a lot of fun. There's even a very fun joke aimed at the Hayes Office.

Ah, I love the fat cat and the skinny cat, they're funny and reminds me of two classic comedians, but one of them died and the skinny one was depressed. I don't remember who they were. I think this was a parody of them. Tweety, who in this cartoon is known as Orson by this cartoon's developers, is sleeping peacefully in a nest and two cats are trying to capture Orson. His cute appearance is just an illusion for he can be quite a tough bird to catch. Many attempts have been tried but they all didn't work.One of the cats say, "If the Hays Office only let me, I'd give them the boid." Which means the middle finger. Very funny.Also, I thought the anvil accident was funny when the hole caused by the anvil sucked up everything. Haha.

Soon after Tweety is hatched he is attacked by two dumb but HILARIOUS cats that are made to resemble Abbot and Costallo.This short directed by Bob Clampett is an HILARIOUS short packed with the debut of Tweety! The short is filled with great gimmicks and outstanding voice work by Mel Blanc.4(****)out of 4(****)starsTURN OFF THOSE LIGHTS!!!!
