Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . KISS ME KATE (sometimes referred to by its working title, THE TAMING OF THE SHREW), the Looney Tunes animators are able to cast the title part far better than Bill ever managed, given their superior Power of the Colored Pen. A shrew is a mouse-like rodent, only scruffier. The shrew featured in Warner's KISS ME CAT enslaves bulldog Marc Antony's pet kitten, Pussyfoot, forcing the wee feline into a Life of Crime, stealing food from the increasingly exasperated man and woman of the house, Tom and Vi. The last straw comes when the shrew kidnaps Pussyfoot, holding her for a cheese wheel ransom while threatening to dismember the innocent young cat. Like Shakespeare's original hero Petruchio, Marc Antony decides to put his foot down, and stifle the shrew once and for all. Borrowing a page from Macbeth's Macduff, Marc uses trickery to conjure a threat which looks more formidable than Cleopatra's War Barge. This sends the shrew fleeing, along with eight insatiably hungry little shrews. As someone once said, "All's well that ends well."

utgard14 Fun short featuring Marc Antony and Pussyfoot, directed by Chuck Jones. It's their first after the classic Feed the Kitty. This time the master of the house lays down the law that, kitten or not, Pussyfoot needs to start catching mice or he'll have to find a cat who will. Marc Antony has no intention of losing his beloved friend so the bulldog tries to teach the kitty how to catch mice, with humorous results. The adorable quotient is always high for any cartoon featuring Pussyfoot. This one has lots of scenes that will elicit more "awwws" than laughs, although it certainly has lots of funny scenes too. I enjoy the cute factor but I know there are always those who disagree and are put off by these types of cartoons. If that doesn't bother you, this will likely be a short you'll enjoy. The animation is colorful and crisp. The music is whimsical and cheerful. Fun voice work from Mel Blanc as Tom, the frustrated master of the house. The characters are likable and well-drawn. I especially enjoyed the mouse in this. He was the MVP of the cartoon and his ransom note (signed the Kit-napper) is hilarious.

slymusic "Kiss Me Cat" is a very good Warner Bros. cartoon starring two best friends: Pussyfoot the kitten and Marc Anthony the bulldog. The man of the house threatens to do away with Pussyfoot unless he catches mice. Marc Anthony runs interference for Pussyfoot so that the adorable little kitten may keep his happy home.My favorite scenes: I love Marc Anthony's reactions to Pussyfoot sharpening his claws on the dog's back (aided by Carl Stalling's music score). Marc Anthony shoves bits of cheese in the mouse hole and then literally gets his ass swatted! I also love Marc Anthony's hilarious ballet dance with a lamp shade as a skirt.In addition to what I've listed above, "Kiss Me Cat" also greatly benefits from a gallery of facial expressions from Marc Anthony, characteristic of director Chuck Jones.

ccthemovieman-1 This one stars Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot, the bulldog and kitten, respectively, and unlike most Looney Tunes these two are best of buddies, not enemies. Big "Marc" really loves the little cat and is concerned when he hears his masters say that if that feline doesn't start catching mice in the house they will have to go out and get another cat. Yikes! He doesn't want to lose his little friend, so he tries to teach his little buddy how to be a "mouser." (This has to be the only cat in the world who instinctively has no clue.)The results are funny, right off the bat as the opposite occurs: the mouse quickly trains the cat to help him get the food! Marc Anthony then does his football commentator John Madden impression, going to a chalkboard and diagramming what a cat is supposed to do.The big dogs tries everything, and things turn worse. The mouse turns "kit-napper!"Overall this is one of those cartoons that starts slowly, builds and gets really good the last few minutes.
