Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWas the focus of a short and bitter flurry of allegations between Warner Brothers and MGM of plagiarism over similarities between this film and WB's Rhapsody Rabbit (1946). The controversy began when raw film from "Rhapsody Rabbit" was sent to be processed at a central film lab which serviced both Warners and MGM. By accident, the finished negatives were sent to MGM, who eventually returned them, but Friz Freleng (the director on "Rhapsody Rabbit") suspected that Hanna and Barbera or others at MGM may have viewed the film before sending it on to Warner Bros. Hanna and Barbera counter-charged that Freleng had somehow overheard their ideas for "The Cat Concerto" and acted on it.
- GoofsThe promotional poster depicts the cat-and-mouse duo wearing pants and shoes alongside with their tailcoats with dress shirts underneath and bowties; but in the actual short, don't wear pants or shoes at all.

Quite simply the greatest cartoon in history!
It doesn't matter how many times you see it, it will still bring tears of laughter to the eyes!
A perfect blend of classical music and the chaos that only Jerry Mouse could ever wreak on Tom's efforts as a classical pianist...
The only other cartoon that comes close is Bugs Bunny's "What's Opera, Doc?"
Cat Concerto is simply, the funiest, greatest, best cartoon ever made.
Enjoy!! Over, and over and over again!
