terrible... so disappointed.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

"Back Alley Oproar" is an American cartoon from 1948 and it was produced by Warner Bros. The days of World War II had been over at this point, so it's an unpolitical work again. It runs for approximately seven minutes just like the others. The director is Friz Freleng, writers are Michael Maltese and Tedd Pierce and these three worked on so many classic Warner Bros. cartoons. Same can be said about some of the voice actors, especially Mel Blanc of course. The story here is nothing really new. It's the usual one we have seen many times, in which one character wants to sleep while the other makes noises. And the former is Elmer Fudd in here (in Bugs' absence), while Sylvester wants to sing opera in the backyard and the result is the massive "oproar" mentioned in the title. I thought this was an okay watch. Some lengths were in here, but also 2 or 3 funny moments like the pretty hilarious nine lives reference at the very end. Poor Elmer. But not poor audience. I recommend the watch.

I like it, I thought it was enjoyable film and Sylvester gave us all a great musical performance; I should tell you all that this cartoon is a remake of an early Friz Freleng cartoon "Notes to You" starring Porky Pig and an unknown cat. But in this short, Elmer Fudd is the sleep-deprived victim.I do remember having "Notes to You" on VHS as a kid, but sadly it has been lost over the years. You know after watching this short, I found it even better than the other one. The one thing that disturb me, was that dumb-lookin' tabby sang like a girl! Like O-M-G! what the f*** was that all about?! So anyway, it is a good short. But at a 9 out 10 star rating for a mediocre storyline and one disturbing sight. But a wonderful performance by Sylvester.

This is a remake of Freling's 1941 Notes To You, with Elmer Fudd taking over the role originated by Porky Pig. Cordell Barker's 1988 cartoon, "The Cat Came Back", has the same ending, although reached by a slightly different route, with different motives.

Classic pairing of Elmer Fudd and Sylvester makes me wonder why they didn't team up more. Sylvester's singing repertoire is particularly entertaining.
