i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

One of the best and funniest cartoons seen recently. The animation is nicely stylised and fluid with expressive colours and well drawn backgrounds. Not quite as refined as other cartoons seen with somewhat of the TV animation look at times with the character designs, but it never becomes distractingly bad. The music is energetic and characterful, adding so much to the action as well as sounding great. Always one of the best things about a Warner Bros cartoon and not a disappointment at all in this regard in Dough Ray Me-Ow. The story is crisply paced and amusing though with Louie's attempts to kill Heathcliff deliciously dark. While the writing is fresh and witty, the banter between the two characters is a joy to hear and highlighted by the brilliant one-man show vocals of Mel Blanc, and the gags are hilarious to the point you're in hysterics while watching and after(the cracking nuts, dynamite, birth certificate and ending fare the best). Louie and especially Heathcliff carry the cartoon wonderfully and while an unlikely pairing are vastly entertaining in chemistry, they are not the best characters but are underrated ones that deserved to be much more than one-shot. Their personalities range from almost sadistic to very stupid, but the writing helps them to be endearing in their own right. To conclude, a truly great cartoon and has great entertainment value, one of the better and funnier cartoons seen personally in about a month or so. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This is one of my personal favorite cartoons, and by far my favorite cartoon directed by the underrated Arthur Davis. The cartoon stars a dumb cat named Heathcliff and an intelligent yet malevolent parrot named Louie. When Louie discovers that Heathcliff will inherit a large sum of money, Louie fabricates multiple nefarious schemes in order to kill him(the will states that Louie will inherit the money upon Heathcliff's passing.) Most of the gags are pretty predictable, but that is not why it is such a great cartoon. The personalities of Heathcliff and Louie are what makes this cartoon so funny. It is so hard to believe that they only appeared in one cartoon. The animation is fluid and very expressive, and Mel Blanc, who voiced the characters, is funny as always. The writing, as always for a Warner Bros. cartoon, is sharp and witty, and the timing is extremely impressive. Cartoons like this are the reason Warner Bros. cartoons will always be the greatest cartoons ever created.

Arthur Davis's 'Dough Ray Me-ow' is an absolutely hysterical cartoon and easily my favourite of the director's films. Starring two boldly drawn one-shot characters, a grumpy green parrot named Louie and an ugly and ludicrously moronic cat named Heathcliff, 'Dough Ray Me-ow' quickly sets up its dark scenario leaving ample time to have tons of fun with it. When Louie discovers that Heathcliff stands to inherit a large sum of money which will go to Louie in the event of the cat's disappearance, the parrot sets about trying to dispense with his "friend" permanently. It's an idea filled with potential which becomes even funnier when Louie realises to his horror that Heathcliff isn't only startlingly stupid, he is also practically indestructible! 'Dough Ray Me-ow' is slightly cheap looking with a style that's akin to TV animation but it fits the feel of the cartoon beautifully, the more stylised character designs reflecting the bigger exaggerations of their personalities. There are loads of great bits but my favourite is the train sequence, the final battle over a stick of dynamite and a series of throwaway gags involving Heathcliff's novel methods for cracking nuts. One of the great one-shot cartoons, 'Dough Ray Me-ow' starred characters who were perhaps too extreme to ever be considered as potential stars but their one appearance still delights me and makes me laugh out loud to this day.

One of the few cartoons directed by Arthur Davis during the approximately two years when he headed what had been Bob Clampett's unit (Warner Bros. discontinued it in 1948), "Dough Ray Me-ow" shows something that we Looney Tunes fans know well: the more that you try to hurt someone, the more you get hurt. Think of Wile E. Coyote going after Road Runner, or Sylvester going after Tweety.Of course, it's always a hoot to see how this poetic justice plays out. In this case, wise-guy parrot Louie reads in his master's will that the inheritance will go not to Louie, but to the master's oafish cat Heathcliff. So, Louie goes about trying to kill Heathcliff, but the latter seems to have the best luck in the world! Which of course means that one mishap after another befalls Louie.So, this was probably a place holder in between the really great cartoons, but you really gotta love what happens here. I guess that Davis never had a chance to develop his own specific style, but he released a few neat cartoons during his brief directorial career (namely "Bowery Bugs"). Worth seeing.
