Loved terrytoons as a kid,heckle and heckle were my favorite. I'm enjoying some of these less known shorts. The voice of the genie sounds like high herbert,a comic actor of the golden age.

Produced by BOB CLAMPETT, Directed by CONNIE RASINKSI, Story TOM MORRISON, Animation JIM ARMSTRONG and ROBERT BENTLEY Music by PHILIP A.SCHEIB The Helpful Geni
Percy the cat’s only solo cartoon without Little Roquefort Also watch out for a surprise cameo by one of the magpies from Paul Terry’s “Heckle and Jeckle” classic theatrical series @ 5:17
0:30 There's one guy who can do this, and that's Jim Tyer! Too bad he didn't do too much animation on the genie though! A total missed opportunity! Oh well, aside from that it's the usual TerryToon fair (some funny moments though). But four more things I noticed; 1. 2:52 The genie sounds like the high-mode of Percy from 'Cat Happy'. 2. 2:55 haven't I seen this gag in Disney's 'The Lonesome Ghosts'? 3. 5:14 Yeah, the racial standards of the day was pretty lacking compared to today. 4. 5:17 Heckle?...Jeckle?...
In the end the dog should rub the lamp. Then the genie would come out again & he'd be the dog's slave & the dog could use him to make trouble for the cat.
