Absolutely amazing

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Bob Clampett's 'Kitty Kornered' is one of the most bizarre cartoons you'll ever see, even by Clampett's standards. Perhaps the main reason for this is that Clampett wrote the script himself, which explains the wildly fluctuating plot. It's filled with crazy animation, wild gags and nonsensical events. But for all its unselfconsciousness, I've never warmed to 'Kitty Kornered' particularly. It's just that little bit too odd and lacks the warped sense of logic that holds together most of the weirder Warner cartoons. It begins with a simple premise: Porky Pig attempts to put his four cats out for the night (including Sylvester in his third appearance and sporting a black nose instead of his usual red hooter) but is continually confounded by their superior wits. There's some good gags and the usual frenzied animation style that makes all Clampett's cartoons worth a look but the whole thing seems constantly on the brink of falling apart and finally does so as the cats decide to disguise themselves as aliens in a tacked-on satire of Orson Welles 'War of the Worlds' broadcast. It makes for a strange climax to a head-scratching cartoon. Despite my general dislike of 'Kitty Kornered' I'd encourage anyone to see it for its historical value as a Clampett-penned cartoon and to savour those brief moments of genuine brilliance such as the goldfish gag or the heart-stopping early moment when Porky bursts through the curtains to surprise the cats.

I absolutely love this cartoon! it is one my favorites from the late Bob Clampett. It has scenes you will remember and laugh your head off; also I am a cat lover. Out of Porky's four cats, I love the little, bitty kitty. Also, you might notice that one of the cats is an early version of Sylvester only he's got a black nose not red; I love that speech he made :"Brother pussycats! We've been skidded out, scooted out, backed out and booted out! But tonight, we was scared out! It's unhospitabitatble, and furthermore, it's un-cat-stitutional!"Another scene I love is when Porky crashes into the china cabinet, with a teapot on his head; through the spout he said "I hate p-p-p-pussycats!"

It's evening and homes all over the US are putting out their cats for the night. However when Porky Pig attempts to put out his litter he finds that Sylvester is leading a revolution that tries to change the socially accepted order of things!Starting out with Porky being thrown out into the snow by his cats, this cartoon is a battle of wills between Porky and his cats, led by the despicable Sylvester. The various rouses they all pull are all funny and the `alien invasion' broadcast is a nice throwaway reference to Orson Welles' reading of War of the Worlds! The gags all work well and things are lively.The characters in the leads really drive the cartoon. Porky is very animated and funny, while Slyvester is the best of the cats – who, aside from him, are merely sidekicks. Overall I enjoyed the short and it had plenty of gags and imagination – Sylvester is in particularly good form.

That about says it - only Clampett would have booted-out house cats try to scare their way back into the nice warm house by convincing their master (in this case, a terrified Porky Pig) that the Earth is being overrun by Martians! One of the best double-takes ever.
