This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Classic Chuck Jones short, brilliant in its simplicity, about a bulldog named Marc Antony who finds a new friend in a little black kitten (later named Pussyfoot). Throughout the cartoon, Marc Antony tries to protect his new friend from being discovered by the mistress of the house, fearful she won't let the kitty stay. Charming, sweet, funny, and clever -- it's just absolute perfection from start to finish. Beautiful animation with well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Lovely, rich colors. Wonderful music from Carl Stalling. Bea Benaderet does a great job as the voice of the woman. It really doesn't get much better than this. When that kitten gets in the toy car, even the iciest of hearts will melt.

"Feed the Kitty", directed by Chuck Jones, is a wonderful Warner Bros. cartoon that stars two characters who never really became popular with the public: Pussyfoot the kitten and Marc Anthony the bulldog. The love and friendship they have for one another is absolutely adorable.Here are my favorite moments from "Feed the Kitty" (if you haven't yet seen this cartoon, don't read any further). I love Marc Anthony's classic "Who? Me?" look in his eyes when he hides Pussyfoot in the flour cabinet, as well as his bloodshot eyes & high-pitched whine when he thinks that Pussyfoot has been baked into a batch of cookies. Composer/arranger Carl Stalling repeatedly uses three popular songs throughout this cartoon that represent Pussyfoot: "Ain't She Sweet" is the playful kitten's primary theme; "Oh! You Beautiful Doll" is heard when Marc Anthony disguises Pussyfoot as a powder puff; and "Mommy's Little Baby Loves Shortening Bread" is heard when the lady of the house makes her batch of cookies."Feed the Kitty" is a cartoon that is funny, yet it also tugs at your heart. Director Chuck Jones later admitted that he hadn't planned on having his audience cry at the "cookie climax" of this film; I think it's safe to say that "Feed the Kitty" was a major achievement for Chuck in terms of the audience's emotional spectrum.

This short is about a bulldog named Marc Anthony who, despite himself, falls for a cute little kitten who likes to rest on his back. But his female master has had enough of his mess he makes around the house and threatens to throw him out if he brings another thing inside. Most of the humor concerns the dog's attempts to keep the kitten from his master's sight. There's a mix-up involving the cat's fate in the middle but all ends happily and when the short ends, it's not on a laugh as usually done on these Warner shorts but a cute coda. It shouldn't surprise anyone that this was done by Chuck Jones since he initially made Disney-like cartoons early in his Warner Bros. directing career. Anyway, I highly recommend Feed the Kitty.

When you say "Looney Toons" these days, Bugs Bunny usually comes to mind. Most people don't realize that some of the best looney toons didn't feature the usual characters. This cartoon is an example of a one time hit.*_spoilers_* This is the story of a rather large bulldog named Marc Anthony, who finds a stray kitten that's very cute. Marc Anthony befriends the cat despite their obvious differences. Marc Anthony struggles to keep the kitten unknown to his owner. it's one of the sweetest stories that can be told in seven minutes... go see it!
