Catty Cornered

About This Movie

So, "Catty Cornered" is a neat little 1953 animated comedy that dives into the world of crime with a very unique twist. You've got Rocky the gangster, who’s not your typical mobster; he kidnaps Tweety Bird for a ransom, which just sets up this quirky, offbeat atmosphere. The pacing is brisk, keeping the viewer engaged with that classic animation style that has its own charm. It’s funny how it mixes crime elements with a lighthearted tone, creating a dichotomy that’s kind of refreshing. The voice performances have that old-school flair, making it feel quite distinctive compared to more mainstream animations of its time. Definitely a piece that reflects the era’s blend of humor and adventure in the animated genre.

'Catty Cornered' is an interesting addition to any collector's lineup, though it doesn't pop up as frequently as some other animated titles. It originally released on 16mm and later found its way onto VHS, but good quality prints are getting harder to track down. The combination of crime and comedy in the storyline seems to spark a niche interest among collectors who appreciate those quirky animated narratives from the early '50s.
