Oscar in 1946 for best cartoon, but there was a controversy because the same year WB released Rhapsody Rabbit (on YT) where pianist Bugs is similarly plagued by a mouse, since many of the gags were similar as well as the general high culture tone, each studio claimed the other plagiarized its cartoon. The 1929 Disney Opry House had Mickey doing a longhaired piano routine with the same music, but while it may have inspired MGM and WB it is quite different: just animated fun banging on a piano.
@neoflyboy my bad... I didn't get what you meant at first... I do now after watching the mickey mouse one... but it does not look like plagiarism...more like co incidence or something...
bellissimo... e grande la musica cantata dalla mitica e grandissima Judy Garland! la più grande cantante attrice ballerina intrattenitrice mai esistita!
Marvelous ! This is the cartoon I like best. The cat and the mouse stories are absolutely amazing and fun. They are always fighting, running, and making fun & traps one to another. Very, very good indeed. Good laughs !!! JAL , from Brazil
i saw that many times when I was a kid... funny that I dropped dead of laughing here. it was great to remember those days. These people were SO talented!
OLD MEMORIES, FUN, GOOD MUSIC, AND A BIT OF THE PLAYFUL DEVIL IN EACH OF THEM KIDS ARE THE SAME, NOTHING HAS CHANGED, BIT OF THE DEVIL IN TO MANY OF US, STILL LOVE IT
@TheColbearRepoorer and I got to say that the rhapsody is actually about 14 minutes long, has slow and fast parts. don't be confused, the parts you're listening in this cartoon had been rearranged for the cartoon.
@reallyblue dude, yes but only in the begining, as you will see, in 4:00 for example, the song really sounds like C# (black key), still, it's a great great job!
I have tried forever to have this, this exact cartoon episode in my favorite list box, but it is always being taking down by copyright disclaims. I don't hope my curse will happen to you after I FAV this one :S
@3CuSO4 I TOTALLy agree ....They were true Geniuses!! One can construe soo many different thought and ideas and interpretations upon watching it many number of times....!
Exibido nos cinemas e na TV do Brasil com o título "Concertista desconcertado". Saiu em uma coletânea em VHS da antiga Vídeo Arte do Brasil como "Concerto para gato e piano".
@MusicFreakthe4th The word "song" is not correct - take note and considerate it a lesson in good word usage. It is often misused - you're not the only one. Where's the "jazz" part, Ms or Mr. "Imperfect"?
The amazing thing is that most of the video Tom plays EXACTLY the notes being executed! Surely the designer / animator had Aiding a pianist to make the animation, or even the animator (or animators) was a pianist! Absolutely brilliant!
@furballmunchkinshiga To be honest, I don't think it is an actual song, I think it's just an awesome small piece of Jazz that they randomly put in, you know, to make keep people entertained? That's what I think, but don't get me wrong, I'm only guessing
@furballmunchkinshiga Alright, mate, I just got word, that part IS an actual song, and it's called "On the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe" But i've just had a listen, and it sounds nothing compared to how it's heard in this cartoon
Tom's got a great musical background, don't you think? First of all, he can play piano awesomely. Second, he can play Jazz nicely, and third, he can sing like a GOD! (ie Is You Is, Or Is You Ain't My Baby, Figaro)
I was watching this just the other day! I've watched this particular short so much that I can identify it before the title card shows! I love this short THAT much! It's a classic
