Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . of America's "Far Future" (compared to when IT'S GOT ME AGAIN was created and released in 1932) to Rise Up & Rebel against our KGB Red Commie Foreign Oppressors, slated to Take Over America next week. An event as momentous as England's Norman Invasion of 1066 has required more than one warning from Warner Bros.' Animated Shorts Seers division (aka, the Looney Tuners). These Prognosticators Non Pareil have churned out countless alarms about America's upcoming Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti, most if not all of which have gone largely unheeded. Some Warnologists (or specialists for the interpretation of these Nostradamus-like prophecies, only far more accurate than Mr. N's over-rated rantings) see the One Per Center Ferociously-Fanged Fat Cat depicted terrorizing we 99 Per Center Mice in IT'S GOT ME AGAIN as representing Big Medicine and Bloated Pharmaceuticals, from whose Evil Clutches our Champion Obama rescued us a decade ago. Soon, however, Big Medicine and it's Evil Twin, Big Medical Insurance will be murdering ordinary average normal Americans again, just like in the Bad Old Days, in accordance with the new American Czar KGB Chief Vlad "Mad Dog" Putin's master plan for his MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE (or, as some would say, multi-billion dollar deluded loan shark "victim") the puppet Rump.However, Warner's Looney Tuners seem to be telling us that all is not lost IF we let our guard down and allow this vicious cat to come into the Castle of Our Homeland from out of the cold rain by sliding down our chimney. It's the Sacred Duty, Warner tells us, of every 99 Per Center Mouse (something that presumably especially applies to the Silent Majority who did NOT fall for Putin's Fake News and Rig the Election for Rump!--as denoted here by the mouse who clumsily nods off, falls into the Yucky Spitoon, and then thoughtlessly wakes up the cat by blowing into a Sousaphone!) TO FIGHT BACK, by any means necessary.The mice attack the Putin\Rumpster Cat with EVERYTHING they've got. They take on this symbol of the Fat Cat Billionaire Oligarchs with projectiles (drum sticks fired by violin bows), flame-throwers (scent spray manipulated McGiver-style), and machine guns (using the record needles prevalent back in Great Grandpappy's 1900s Heyday for ammunition). So go ahead, Warner suggests, and ACT NOW, before it's too late and all of your parents and grandparents and siblings with cancer and other Pre-existing Conditions start getting bulldozed into mass graves as Putin smirks. YOU know which of your neighbors had Rump\Scents campaign signs in their yards, or Rump\Scents bumper stickers, or shot off their mouths about donating money to help the Red Commie KGB Death Star machine to invade America. Next time you see them make Citizens' Arrests on the charge of Conspiracy to Commit High Treason against the USA. Do this especially if they're Active Duty or Ex-Military, as these individuals have all taken the Oath to Preserve and Defend America's Constitution, so they cannot mount a defense stating that they acted in Ignorance. The German majority in the 1930s all decided to "go along to get along," and did not make waves for Der Fuehrer. Most of them died during the decade of World War II, along with 50 million innocent people. MORE is at stake this time, IT'S GOT ME AGAIN! warns us. Fight back! Rebel!

TheLittleSongbird And it's a good one, well worth seeing for more than just historical interest and a worthy nomination. There have been much better Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons since, but 'It's Got Me Again' is a very good early effort.'It's Got Me Again' is admittedly very light on plot, more an excuse really to string along gags and song and dance numbers (sounds like a bad thing, but it actually comes off better than it sounds), and a bit creaky occasionally like at the beginning. Other than that, there is nothing really bad about 'It's Got Me Again'.The animation is very good (and agreed, somewhat Disney-like, unusual but interesting), very detailed, smooth, remarkably fluid from each frame and meticulous in design and detail, the black and white is also pleasing on the eye and avoids being primitive. The song and dance moments are fun and pleasant, especially the Al Jolson-esque one, with energetic and beautifully orchestrated incidental scoring, not exactly ones that will burn in the memory forever but they hardly bring the cartoon down at all.While it's not hilarious, 'It's Got Me Again' has some fun and very clever gags. The Al Jolson moment is definitely great, but the highlight has to be the introduction of the cat. The mice are cute and amusing, but making more of an impression is the cat who is a great character. The voice acting is stellar.Overall, the first Oscar-nominated Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoon proves itself worthy of it. Not one of the best cartoons ever made, but holds up nicely. 8/10 Bethany Cox

slymusic "It's Got Me Again!" is a wonderful early black-and-white Warner Bros. cartoon. The plot: Mice just wanna have fun (in fact, the song "Get Happy" can be heard during the opening titles), but a sinister feline interrupts their musical festivities.My favorite scenes: A group of mice bop along with a phonograph record while a few individual mice dance & spin on the turntable. When a mouse literally gets cornered he recites a wonderful rhyme beginning with "Oh Mr. Cat, please let me go, oh Mr. Cat, don't tease me so! Looks like he's got me again! Mamie! Mamie!" I also like the opening shot of a mouse tiptoeing on a glockenspiel, sliding down a cello, bouncing on a bass drum, and cranking a Victrola.The mice in "It's Got Me Again!" all look like Mickey! No doubt the animators at Warner Bros. were hell-bent on outdoing Walt Disney.

phantom_tollbooth 'It's Got Me Again' was the first Looney Tune to be nominated for an Academy Award and it's easy to see why. A classy, atmospheric short, 'It's Got Me Again' stars a gang of Mickeyesque mice who come out to play one night, making music and dancing together (including some reused footage from the third Looney Tune 'Hold Anything'). There's lots of fun sequences leading up to the appearance of a cat who threatens to end the celebrations. The arrival of the cat leads to the best part of the cartoon, an Al Jolson routine by a cornered mouse who performs the title song with impassioned desperation. Of course, the mice team up to dispose of the feline antagonist. 'It's Got Me Again', like most of the early Looney Tunes, has a simple premise but does plenty with it. It's a deeply satisfying picture which feels like a classic in many ways. Although it may bore some modern audiences, fans of animation will no doubt delight in its invention.
