8:50-10:06 Overall Thoughts/Rating
10:06 Apparently Promoting the Screen Songs Took Priority!
On today's Toon Chest, we're covering a cartoon from Fleischer's Paramount-owned successor, Famous Studios. Despite Hep Cat Symphony being a fun, musical slapstick-filled cat and mouse (or rather mice) short made in a time when Tom and Jerry were still dominating the Oscars, promoting the revived Screen Songs series apparently took priority!
De-Facto Director: Dave Tendlar

DISCLAIMER: This video, like every video on this channel, is intended only for mature audiences. While the topic is primarily animation-related, the purpose of this video is to present an analysis about said media from a distinctly adult perspective, which may possibly include profane language, obscene references and satire of varying kinds. The Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) has made it illegal to collect personal data on children younger than age 13, which many websites from Facebook to RU-vid were doing anyway, and that is why I am typing this to cement the understanding that I only upload content that I conclude animation fans and/or film/media collectors/fans/etc. aged 18 or above would find interesting.

My dad remembers seeing the cartoon as a kid.

7:10 there was one short where herman's cousins outsmarted katnip on their own "City Kitty"

@TheToonkeeper 4 месяца назад

Yup, sometimes these mice are very capable on their own. Key word, sometimes.

that looks like a proto type of katnip, also i heard somewhere that this short almost got nominated for an oscar

@TheToonkeeper 4 месяца назад

Yup, that's who it is essentially. And yes, it was submitted to the Oscars for screening, but Famous Studios/Paramount stupidly prioritized promoting their ill-fated revived Screen Songs more (in the same Oscar year won by yet another Tom and Jerry short no less). The Oscars, flawed as they are/were, were squeamish towards the Famous Studios shorts as is (hence 0 nominations, below Screen Gems and Terrytoons), management decisions definitely did not help their preconceptions.

Been a while, pal. I always have high spots for Famous Studios' including the Noveltoons series (which randomly blown my channel up somehow). Some say their shorts are dull, but they are underrated as heck.

@TheToonkeeper 8 месяцев назад

In the same boat! Of course while the 50s was a negative turning point in general, let's just say there's a reason my channel started as a depository for Baby Huey and Herman & Katnip cartoons years back.
