Shows that Jones can do so much with very little
26 March 2023
A very cute and fun short. It´s fun how Chuck Jones manages to do so much with so little in such a short time. He once again manages to make you laugh and cry in a short timespan with wonderful expressive animation.

A big dog finds a cute small cat. The cat and dog becomes friends but the dog most now hide his new kitty from his owner.

The animation can be a bit hollow in this one. Backgrounds are not as detailed at times and some rooms give these eerie empty vibes. While the colors are expressive the complete picture is a bit lacking.

But this is made up for with the character design. The cat is really cute and innocent, and the dog is a big loving goofball. Once again Jones shows of his famous expressions on characters that really elevate emotions and humor. The dog is so expressive and says so much with his face without saying a single line.

This is the classic stress plot where someone has to hide something from someone. Simple premise done great here. The gags are varied and fun and it keeps you entertained all throughout. The short even throws a curveball, showing Jones also can do emotional scenes that makes you feel. This premise seems tried to replicate by many other animated movies and shorts so maybe it has echoed through time, inspiring other artist.

This is a good and solid short no doubt. It´s fun, cute and well done.
